Robin Alan Thicke (born March 10, 1977) is an American-Canadian singer-songwriter, producer, and actor. He is the son of Canadian actor Creator/AlanThicke and American singer and actress Gloria Loring.

He got his start in the music industry as a songwriter, working with the likes of Music/LilWayne and Music/{{Usher}}, among others. In 2002, he released his debut single, "When I Get You Alone", and a year later, his first album, ''A Beautiful World''. Although it and his following albums were successful, he remained obscure.

Things changed in 2013 when he released "Blurred Lines", the lead single to his sixth album of the same name. The song became one of the best-selling singles in history, while its music video quickly went viral, amidst considerable controversy for its content. This culminated in an infamous performance at the [=2013 VMAs=] with Music/MileyCyrus. The song gained further controversy when the family and estate of the late Music/MarvinGaye and music publisher Bridgeport Music successfully sued Thicke and co-writer/co-performer Music/PharrellWilliams for copyright infringement towards Gaye's 1977 song "Got to Give It Up", which led to Gaye's family earning US$7.4 million (though later lowered to US$5.3 million) in damages and Gaye receiving a songwriting credit.

Since 2019, Thicke has been one of the judges and permanent panelists on ''Series/TheMaskedSinger''.

!!I hate these blurred tropes!:

* AdamWesting: In his 2016 appearance on ''Series/TheRealHusbandsOfHollywood'', he [[Main/SelfDeprecation parodies]] the troubles his career went through in 2014.
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: The unrated version of the music video of "Blurred Lines" features the words "Robin Thicke has a big dick" made from balloons.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Unlike the video of "Blurred Lines" from 2013, his music video for "Get Her Back" from 2014 is nothing but mean text messages from his ex-wife, flashing images of Thicke crying, screaming, beating himself & drowning in water and [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/11efa6b8ad55677b1d136cba667bbfca/tumblr_n7qs1oaGTp1r61gyjo1_500.png this]].
* {{Fanservice}}: The video of "Blurred Lines", featuring nude (or scantily clad in the censored version) models.
* IntercourseWithYou: "Blurred Lines". It couldn't be any more blatant, at least on the uncensored version ("I got something that will split your ass in two!").
* LooksLikeJesus: Had this sort of look in his earlier days with his shoulder-length hair paired with his facial hair as shown [[https://i.huffpost.com/gen/1560127/thumbs/o-ROBIN-THICKE-570.jpg in this picture]].
* SingingVoiceDissonance: Has a fairly deep speaking voice, but does most of his singing in a very high register.
* StalkerWithACrush: His 2014 album, ''Paula'' is this.
* ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: The "Blurred Lines" video features Robin, Music/{{TI}}, and [[Music/PharrellWilliams Pharrell]] dancing with nude/scantily clad female models.
