After releasing Something Else in September, Robin Thicke is gearing up to release a fourth album, and this one has a “crazy new sound,” Thicke tells Billboard.com.

The soulful songwriter has been working with an array of producers for his 15 new songs, which he hopes will be ready for release by autumn. “I always wanted to be like Prince and write and produce myself,” Thicke told Billboard. “This time I’m not trying to take all the credit…and work with a lot of the best producers in the business. So my sound is going to be a lot different than anything I’ve ever done before.”

Songwriter Jeffrey Bahsker, who has worked with Kanye West, helped Thicke develop the album’s new sound.
“I’m just really stretching the ceiling a little bit with an open mind, and the results have been wonderful,” he added.

Thicke begins touring with Jennifer Hudson March 31st in Albany, New York.
