Shortly after Whitney Houston’s passing, Robin Thicke covered one of Whit’s greatest hits. The “Duets” mentor choose “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” and gave it a different vibe with his signature sultry bedroom voice. As much as I love Houston, I have to say I like Thicke’s interpretation more. “Exhale” isn’t one of my favorite tracks from the late singer’s discography, but Robin made me appreciate the song more.
Not content with just covering the song, the 35-year-old singer also filmed a tribute for Houston. The newly-released music video perfectly captures the mood of Robin’s version. It’s beautifully shot and almost haunting. Thicke is shown throwing an impromptu concert for passersby and crooning while walking through the streets of Los Angeles in the black and white clip. Check it out below.

you cant be serious?
Thicke’s interpretation is just ok and I applaud him for memorializing Whitney, but his interpreation is bland and his runs/use of melisma comes across like dribble compared to Whitney’s.

Agree with Alexx. Robin’s version is nice, but there will never be another Whitney.

I agree that there will never be another Whitney, but I do actually prefer this way more than Whitney’s version.

I think this cover is good, Robin should do more of Whitney in his own way.

I think Robin is hot as all fuck. He could sing the phone-book and I’d watch.
