Robin Thicke Paula Patton Split, But Can Robin Thick Win Her Back With New Album `Paula’?; Not If Patton Doesn’t Listen

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton split up after rumors and gossip and the Miley Cyrus VMAs 2013 performance. The R&B singer hopes to win back his high school sweetheart with a deeply personal album. But that won't happen if Paula doesn't listen to the record.

Robin Thicke put out a personal mea culpa in an entire album dedicated to his estranged wife Paula Patton.  Robin Thicke's latest album is called, simply, "Paula." Thich's new album is being marketed as a full-length concept album plea for reconciliation. You can hear the pleading in the title.

Robin Thicke and his actress wife Paula Patton separated in February after a series of reported sightings of Thicke getting down on the dancefloor in public with other women.

Thicke told New York's Hot 97 radio station that cheating "is not why we're apart. We're apart because we just couldn't be together anymore for a while. There's a hundred different reasons, there isn't just one. There's a long list... I changed, and I got a little too selfish, a little too greedy and little too full of myself."

Robin Thicke told the station that he hasn't seen Patton in four months.

"I try to keep most of that private, but, I haven't seen her for four months," he said.

Not so private that he's backed down from answering questions on the #AskThicke Twitter Q&A which were supposed to promote his new album but instead got him trolled.

Thicke hasn't been in the hotseat just because of the breakup or for throwing Miley Cyrus under the bus for her effervescent twerking. Besides overcoming a plagiarism charge from the estate of Marvin Gaye and Parliament Funkadelic, Thicke was also accused of misogyny over the lyrics to "Blurred Lines."

Women's rights campaigners around the world said Blurred Lines promoted sexual violence.

One Twitter user asked "Did you really write a rape anthem as a love song for your wife and are you still wondering why she left you?" another trolled  "How many times do you expect Paula to forgive your bs (bulls**t)..."

Not that Patton is even listening. Thicke admitted "She's only heard a few songs. I don't think she wants to hear it right now. I can't speak for her, but I think space is an important part of any healing process."

"The album is exactly what happens when you lose the love of your life and you're trying to figure it out in your head. How am I going to move on and get through it all? We just weren't happy together anymore and I still had so much I wanted to apologize for, and things I wanted to take responsibility for, so that's pretty much what the album's about," he added.
