Kristen Mascia wrote in People: "With his hit 'Lost Without U' (off his second CD, The Evolution of Robin Thicke), Alan Thicke's son, 20, is the first white male artist to top Billboard's R&B singles chart since George Michael in 1988. ON TOPPING THE R&B CHARTS 'Growing up in Los Angeles and having a lot of interracial friendships, I don't really see it as black or white music. I happen to love Radiohead as much as I do Biggie Smalls. Most people [who've heard but not seen me] are surprised I'm white. In the beginning people thought I was D'Angelo or Maxwell. They couldn't quite figure it out.' ON THE TERM 'BLUE-EYED SOUL' 'I've always stayed away from boxes trying to categorize me. But the reality is that I do have blue eyes and I consider myself a really soulful person.' ON GETTING THE THUMBS-UP FROM BONO 'I walked into a meeting at Interscope Records to play my new music for Jimmy Iovine, the president, and Pharrell … and Bono is sitting on the couch, so I'm totally freaking out. Bono ends up giving it his full seal of approval'" ("Catching Up with Robin Thicke," 3/12/07, p. 51).
