Here in this UK interview, fans get to know Robin’s favorite artists he loved working with, his opinion on American Idol and more. And I must add, he’s got one witty humor.

Singer Robin Thicke has previously worked as a producer for big names such as Beyoncé, Michael Jackson and Will Young. After releasing a low-key but critically acclaimed album he scored a big US hit with single Lost Without U, which saw him become the first white man since George Michael to top the r’n'b chart. Lost Without U gets its British release today.

You worked as a producer and songwriter, isn’t that more lucrative than being a performer?

Tell the Rolling Stones that, they’d disagree with you. I was an artist first and taught myself to play the piano at 12 and got a record deal at 16. I wrote and produced my first album and then started writing for other people because I had a lot of music in me. My first album never actually came out, so I hid for a while and wrote for other people. I woke up at 23 and decided to make music for myself.

Who are the best people you’ve produced for?

Usher, Mary J Blige and Michael Jackson. To be in a studio with Mary J Blige is awesome. She’s such a powerful artist and presence, and her message means so much to her. It’s a privilege to be around someone who cares so much about what they’re doing and saying. I produced a song for her that’s on her new project. I only produce when I get a call from someone like that or if Beyoncé wants a new record. I don’t sit at home writing records for people.

Have you worked with people who couldn’t sing?

Sure, you have to pay the bills.

Do you want to tell me who was the worst?

No, why spread that? Let’s spread positivity.

You’re the first white bloke since George Michael to top the r’n’b Billboard chart. What else have you in common with him?

Some things. I like to party, let’s put it that way.
I turned around and there was a guy with a gun pointing at my head. It wasn’t as scary as you’d think

Have you ever passed out at a set of traffic lights?

No, luckily someone else was driving. My advice is: don’t get caught.

Geri Halliwell’s a fan of yours. You must be thrilled.

Is she a Spice Girl? Yes, that’s very exciting.

Do you dream of working on their reunion album?

No, I’m sure they can find their music without me [laughs].

Would you have considered doing American Idol if you hadn’t got your record deal?

No. For me it’s all about the music. I don’t want anyone else to control that. It’s not about being a star. They f**k with the music too much and I didn’t want to have to do one of those Rod Stewart jazz album things.
