2.0 out of 5 stars Rebirth to Mediocrity , March 2, 2009

By	Kyunta Kentai "soundchild" (local vibrations of L.A.) - See all my reviews

I like the music Bobby V creates. His self proclaimed album and Special Occasions were both very good albums. There was a growth from the self proclaimed to Special Occasions.

BUT The Rebirth is mediocre. The tracks sounds all the same and his lyrics are below average--in comparison to his previous albums.

Who makes a song about "3 Is The New 2" (having 2 girls in bed), when he has a song about "Make You The Only One"? To me, that seems juvenile and not true love.. A lot of his hooks and chorus are generic, just a constant repetition, nothing well thought out. I give this album a 2.5 out of 5.

If you can cop the album for free, get it, but don't waste your money. Or you can download the tracks below b/c these are the only good ones.

Best songs:

Make You The Only One

Butterfly Tattoo

Beep

On The Edge

You're Not Alone

Stay With Me

Another Life

4.0 out of 5 stars Bobby Back With His Signature Sound, March 11, 2009

By	William m Coles (BALTIMORE, MARYLAND United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well to be honest I liked his first two CD's so this was just a continuation more than a rebirth. Nevertheless, the slow tempo tracks are especially nice. Beep which has gotten a lot of radio airplay is nice with a catchy hook. I really think he has been consistent with all of his releases. I think where he could improve is to have sounds that play into one another more so, he does this here but it is much later in the CD, say track 12. But overall still a better than average CD. Keep flowing B-V.

5.0 out of 5 stars More like Grown Up/Mature, February 17, 2009

By	Eric G. Kiura "eWorks!" (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Rebirth (MP3 Download)

Whats not to like on this album. I've had my qualms with his previous efforts but this album is a step up from BobbyV. The ballads are smooth and have some content. The jams are not overdone but done right. I'm definitely excited with this album from what I have previewed so far. This is the right mix a song for every situation club, bedroom, couch etc. Good show Bobby keep it up! Certainly a good way to start 2009.
Favorite songs are Just Me and You w/Raphael Saadiq(he couldn't pick a better collaborator for this throwback) Stay With Me(hmm what a song) and My Girl. All the other songs are up there. The only song I might skip is BEEP because its definitely played out but a good jam altogether. Get this album and enjoy people!
