Robin Thicke When I Get Your Alone, which was his 2002 debut single which is from his 2003 debut studio album, The song samples Walter Murphy’s “A Fifth of Beethoven” which in turn sampled Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, thus giving Murphy co-songwriting credit along with Thicke.

Robin Thicke starred in the music video as a bike messenger racing through New York City while singing the song; you can also see that video below.

Robin Thicke is touring with Oscar and Grammy winning singer and actress and American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson on a co-headlining tour which they both discussed in a recent interview. Thicke addressed the rarity of the male-female co-headlining tour.

I think some of it is because of the genre of music. Whether you’ve got your Pussycat Dolls-Britney Spears tour and that’s for the girls or certain types of guy fans and then you’ve got your Lil Wayne-Kanye-type tour. I think nowadays, people don’t balance the two entities. But I think with Jennifer and I, we’re both real, just singers, who are just singing our hearts out, and I think people are just coming to see good music and good singers.
