Robin Thicke has named his album after his estranged wife Paula Patton. In a not-so subtle bid to win back the heart of his former partner, the singer's seventh record will be called, simply, Paula, and features a string of similarly devoted track titles. | Robin Thicke has named his album after his estranged wife Paula Patton.

It isn't the only time the R&B singer has made a public attempt to contact Patton. Shortly after their split, he dedicated a song to her at a concert in Fairfax, Virginia. "For y'all that don't know, me and my wife separated but I'm trying to get my girl back," he told the audience. | It isn't the only time the R&B singer has made a public attempt to contact Patton.

Robin Thicke, who released his debut album A Beautiful World in 2003, saw his career reach a sudden peak last year, with the release of Blurred Lines. The lyrics to the No 1 track were deemed so provocative, along with its video, that it earned the title of "most controversial song of the decade"; and was even branded by some as a "rape song". Regardless of the protests about it glorifying sexual harassment and its numerous bans in student unions, Blurred Lines became the biggest-selling download in UK history, according to the Official Charts Company in April. | |
In May, Thicke's wife Patton spoke to Vanity Fair about their split. “We’ve known each other since we were teenagers. All I can tell you is there’s a deep love there –always was, and always will be,” said the actor. | In May, Thicke's wife Patton spoke to Vanity Fair about their split. “We’ve known each other since we were teenagers.
