Rap-Up.com || Video: Robin Thicke f/ Lil Wayne

Robin Thicke adds a touch of old Hollywood charm to the video for his Lil Wayne-assisted single “Pretty Lil’ Heart” off his fifth album Love After War. R&B’s leading man channels the late James Dean in the Marc Klasfeld-directed clip, which was filmed at a motel in the desert.

“The inspiration behind this song was really just about when you’re in a relationship and you’re faced with all the challenges of temptation and attraction to other people, how can you trust when you’re not with that other person [that] they’re doing you right?” said Thicke.

The cinematic visuals were inspired by classic films like Rebel Without a Cause and A Streetcar Named Desire. “I’m a big movie fan, especially of old movies,” he shared. “So I really wanted to embody a little bit of that old cinematic charm, the golden age of Hollywood, and try to capture a little bit of that and put it into some soul music.”

Very curious rkamee, appreciate the background vocals throughout is that really just Robin and Usher? Almost sounds like Tevin and one other familiar voice
