Description: Like its cinematic counterpart, the ROBOTS soundtrack calls up an eclectic batch of characters to generate a quirky and fun tone. Among the most notable names on the album are neo-soul singer Ricky Fante, who uses a vocoder to give the horn-soaked "Shine" a mechanized sheen. Hip-hop fans get to bob their heads to Chingy, as he peppers "Right Thurr" with jittery rhymes, and then returns alongside Houston, Nate Dogg, and I-20 on the electro-funk-flavored "I Like That".
