Pity this man not just for having to subtract all but one letter from his last name (due to a legal matter involving another performer named Bobby Valentino), but also for giving his third album the same title as a Lil Wayne album released just months after it (though the title of this release is technically different by having a definitive article attached to it). The Rebirth doesn't sound like one; it's not much more than an attention getter. It is Bobby V.'s first album through EMI, following an amicable split from Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam, but beyond that, there's not much to differentiate it from Bobby Valentino or Special Occasion. The singer continues to work with Tim & Bob, who produce a quarter of the tracks, including two of the album's higher points in "Make You the Only One" and "On the Edge," and though connecting with Carlos "Los da Mystro" McKinney (two tracks) was a smart move, it hardly redefines him as an artist. Disregarding the misleading title, the album is as decent as its predecessors, good overall but uneven. Just don't expect anything remarkably fresh from a sonic (or even lyrical) standpoint.
