Robin Thicke Cosigns 4batz With A Cover Of “Act ii: date @ 8”

One of the breakout hits of 2024 so far came from R&B singer 4batz. His pitched-up single “act ii: date @ 8” started as a TikTok hit. A fan responded to a question about what music videos don’t fit the vibe of the song at all, netting the track quite a bit of attention. It’s snowballed into a full-on hit from there hitting the Hot 100 earlier this year. The song currently sits at #68 just a few weeks after hitting its peak spot at #59. Beyond just connecting with R&B fans it’s also clicked with numerous celebs.

The most recent of which is an R&B hitmaker in his own right, Robin Thicke. The “Blurred Lines” singer took to Instagram earlier this week to reveal how much he liked the song and even share his own cover version of it. “on repeat” he captioned a video of himself performing the track at his home playing keyboard and singing.
