About Bobby Valentino
Triumphantly
re-launching his career on his own terms after a taxing detour, Bobby
Valentino is prepping his EMI Records debut Rebirth via his own Blu Kolla
Dreams imprint. The gifted vocalist is familiar with new beginnings. Bobby
first charted as a member of Mista, the teenage group responsible for the
innovative single "Blackberry Molasses." Intent on forging a solo career, he
reinvented himself as Bobby Valentino and smashed the scene with 2005
chart-topper "Slow Down." His self-titled solo debut, released later that
year on fellow Atlantan Ludacris's Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam label,
reached number three on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart.
As 2007 drew to a close, Bobby found himself among the casualties of
corporate upheaval and economy-caused cutbacks. His sophomore disc, Special
Occasion, was scarcely supported by his soon-to-be-former label. It was
clearly time to re-envision his career, looking toward his strong faith in
God to illuminate his life's path. The introspection and soul-searching
resulted in Rebirth, his most intriguing and personal album to date.
Alongside gifted producers L.O.S, Raphael Saadiq and long-time collaborators
Tim & Bob, the talented songwriter offers a mature effort that will both
please loyal fans and win over fickle critics.
Rebirth revolves around relationships. The infectious lead single "BEEP,"
among the disc's most visceral tunes, details the joys of adventurous sex.
Cleverly crafted by up-and-coming Mississippi native Big Fruit, the melody
begins as ballad and morphs into an up-tempo sweat-inducer. Bobby notes,
"The feedback from the record was so strong. When I played it for people and
I sent it to the clubs everybody reacted to it quickly. My first single, I
always want it to be for the people." The single announces: "I'm back, I got
a new situation – it's one of those kinds of records that's gonna make a
statement."
Bobby was especially honored to work with Grammy Award-winner Saadiq, who
produced "Wish List" for the project. Bobby beams: "He is one of the
coolest, most down to earth people in the world. I didn't know what to
expect but he was a fan of mine. He knew my music and that really had me in
awe." The two ambitiously cover Saadiq's 1995 gem "Just Me and You."
Valentino explains, "I rewrote the verses while he brought in live horns and
played guitar." Melodically, Bobby's version blends the majesty of the
original with his signature vocals.
Tim & Bob are Bobby's go-to guys from the Mista era, they helmed Bobby's
"Slow Down". On working with the duo: "I release all of my stress and my
energy into music with Tim & Bob. I like to work with producers that really
know how to play instruments and aren't all about the drum machines because
with R&B it's all about the music." The duo crafted "3 Is the New 2" a
Jodeci-tinged joint playing on the phrase "30 is the new 20." Another
mid-tempo ballad in this vein is "Butterfly Tattoo," which evokes ‘80s
Prince, complete with synthesized accents and an electric guitar solo.
Not everything can be summed up as sheer lust however; heed the mature
"Hands on Me," a desperate yen to remain faithful despite a very tempting
dalliance. Or the sophisticated ballad "Give Me Your Heart," on which Bobby
takes listeners to church with divine chords and an evangelical falsetto.
"It's kind of like me turning in my player card," he says. "It's for the
grown folks." And while he's not quite ready to live by the song now, he
muses with a half-smile: "Down the road I don't even have to propose. I can
just play that song."
Rebirth also marks Valentino's production debut with the track "Make Me
Say." Inspired by the hook he wrote and sings on Lil' Wayne's flirtatious
hit "Mrs. Officer," Bobby explains, "It's about a girl that I really like so
much that I can bring her around my family, bring her around my friends. She
just makes me say ‘Woo!'"
Bobby V is expanding his philanthropic efforts The Bobby Valentino
Foundation, which focuses on the value of higher education. The Clark
Atlanta graduate shares, "Going to college was one of my best experiences
and I just want to provide that opportunity [for others] and stress the
importance of being educated."
His highest hurdles behind him, Bobby Valentino is poised to reclaim his
peerless place in the music world. His general life philosophy is reflected
in the principles he holds for Blu Kolla Dreams: "The majority of my fans
and audience are blue collar people that work every day with a dream. And
this is my dream. I've been in this industry a long time. I just continue to
believe in myself." Considering his inevitably successful return, Bobby
Valentino is far from alone in his dream.
