Motown legend and king of the light-skins Smokey Robinson is dropping a new album, and the title and playlist leave absolutely nada to the imagination. Social media users caught wind of the album and its freaky title and lost it.
On January 27, the Detroit-born 82-year-old crooner posted a tweet giving details about his latest project, “Gasms.”
Smokey dropped the first single, “If We Don’t Have Each Other,” late last month.
“My New Music is OUT NOW!!! ‘If We Don’t Have Each Other’ is my New Single available on all platforms… the New album ‘GASMS’ is available April 28, 2023. Pre-Order to hear it first! Pre-order here: https://smokeyrobinson.lnk.to/GASMS“

“Gasms” is set to drop in late April, and Black Twitter had plenty to say about Smokey’s new heat.
Here are some of the best reactions.
Everybody all shocked at #smokeyrobinson ‘s playlist like the music we listen dont SELL SEX 24/7. That leaves me to believe the shock is stemming from his age, like old people dont fuck….grow up.

Smokey Robinson is preparing to annoy all of us at every single family cookout this summer, cause now Uncle Earl will be blasting Gasms in his slingshot the whole time Ms. Gladys is there, and I’m honestly not even supposed to be old enough to be privy to any of this.

In light of his new project, the 82-year-old green-eyed loverboy gave peak light-skinned ni**a during an interview with VLAD TV. Smokey revealed that he and the “Boss,” Diana Ross had a fling while he was married to his first wife, Claudette Robinson.
“It happened later after I got married. After I got them signed up at Motown. That’s when that started,” he disclosed.
