Robin Thicke has admitted that his recent album and tour was "embarrassing". The Blurred Lines singer released a album called Paula following the break-up of his marriage to Paula Patton and publicly appealed to the actress in the media to give him another chance. He has now moved on to a relationship with model April Geary and in a new interview, he admitted that he realised his behaviour was inappropriate after dedicating his performance of Forever Love to Patton at the BET Awards in June 2014. "I came home, and my best friend of 20 years, Craig Crawford, said, “I saw your BET performance”. And I said: “Oh yeah! What did you think?” You know — excited. And he goes: “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. And he said, “You should just go away for a while.” So I shut everything down. I took some time off to be with my son, and to be with my family and close friends. And the more time I took off, the more everything became clear." He added that he doesn't regret laying himself bare on the tracks but in hindsight, wouldn't have put the album out for release. "Look, my songwriting has always been autobiographical, and always will be. The Paula album was no different. 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."
