Robin Thicke

Robin Thicke provides some words of encouragement on “Never Give Up,” an uplifting cut off his fifth album Love After War, due Tuesday. The symphonic production, which clocks in just over two-and-a-half minutes, is an anthem for anyone who’s ever been discouraged and felt like giving up.

“I said baby, it ain’t over, it’s not over, it’s never over,” sings the smooth operator on the climactic track. Better days are ahead.
