Singer Robin Thicke has admitted his last album Paula was an embarrassment.
The "Blurred Lines" hitmaker released the flop record in a bid to win back his then-wife Paula Patton last year, reported Contactmusic.
"I was struggling through my toughest time, and I decided to share it. And I remember my team and my record company didn't want me to put it out, but they stuck by me.
"In hindsight, the only thing I would have done differently was, I wouldn't have promoted it or sold it. I would have given it away. That would have kept the purity of the message intact," he said.
Thicke, 38, serenaded Paula - who left him amid allegations he had cheated on her - at the 2014 BET (Black Entertainment Television) Awards and his friend Craig Crawford was not impressed.
"I came home, and my best friend of 20 years, Craig Crawford, said, 'I saw your BET performance. I gotta be honest with you, buddy. You're kind of playing yourself, You look like a sucker'.
"And it hit me that I'd lost my perspective. What I thought was romantic was just embarrassing.
