More about this title
About the Artist: Robin Thicke
Robin Thicke emerged as a dominant force in pop and R&B during the 2010s, building his reputation as a vocalist and songwriter who could craft instantly memorable hooks over contemporary grooves. His work demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of rhythm and production, drawing from classic soul and modern hip-hop influences to create music with broad commercial appeal.
Why we love this
Paul Murtha's arrangement captures the irresistible pocket of the original while giving marching musicians accessible entry points to the groove. The infectious R&B foundation translates beautifully to the marching ensemble, and the flexible instrumentation means you can feature your strongest section leaders or build excitement with full-ensemble moments.
What to expect
Smooth, cool, and thoroughly modern. The arrangement maintains that laid-back R&B swagger while giving the marching band the space to make it their own. Energy builds naturally through repetition and orchestration rather than relying on volume or complexity.
Who it's for
Directors looking for contemporary repertoire that marching musicians actually want to perform. This works for programs seeking radio-friendly selections with genuine musical substance, whether you're filling a show spot or building an entire set around current pop hits.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the snare line and bass drums into the tightest pocket possible. The groove lives in precision, not energy, so spend rehearsal time on clarity rather than volume.
- Balance the upper woodwinds so they sit behind rather than above the harmonic foundation. This record thrives on a cohesive sound where every voice supports the groove.
- Use the dance features as pacing opportunities. Let the marching ensemble reset between feature sections so the standout moments land with maximum impact.
- Keep the tempo steady throughout. Even small fluctuations will undermine the hypnotic quality that makes this arrangement work.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary pop or R&B selections for a show that speaks to your audience's musical diet. The Grade 3 difficulty means you can program it alongside your standard literature without extensive additional rehearsal time. It's especially effective as an opener or closer when you want immediate crowd engagement.
Skills your students will build
- Playing with steady pulse in syncopated rhythms
- Blending articulation across sections to create unified groove
- Responding to dynamic balance cues rather than individual part prominence
- Maintaining precise rhythm while moving choreographed features
- Understanding R&B and contemporary pop idioms
