''The Rebirth'' (originally titled ''Underground Love''〔http://www.djbooth.net/index/tracks/review/bobby-valentino-ft-lil-wayne-your-smile〕) is the third studio album from R&B singer Bobby V. It was released on February 10, 2009. The album is V's first to be released through his record label Blu Kolla Dreams,〔(Bobby V Set For 'Rebirth' With New Label and Album ) ''singersroom.com''. Accessed September 1, 2008.〕 and debuted at number seven on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200, selling 64,000 copies in its first week. The first single "Beep" reached 55 on the billboard 100 and 6 on the R&B and Hip-Hop his chart, the second single "Hands On Me" reached number 56. ==Concept== After V's sophomore disc, ''Special Occasion'', was scarcely supported by his soon-to-be-former label, it was clearly time to re-envision his career. The introspection and soul-searching resulted in ''The Rebirth''. Alongside producers LOS Da Maestro, Raphael Saadiq, Big Fruit and long-time collaborators Tim & Bob, the album, which revolves around relationships, offers a mature effort that will both please loyal fans and win over fickle critics. The album's lead single, "Beep" featuring Yung Joc, was released via iTunes on October 7, 2008 and details the joys of adventurous sex. Bobby notes, Bobby was especially honored to work with Grammy Award-winner Raphael Saadiq, who produced "Just Me & You" for the project, which covers Saadiq's 1991 hit "Just Me and You." Bobby beams: Tim & Bob crafted "3 Is the New 2," a Jodeci-tinged joint playing on the phrase "30 is the new 20." On working with the duo Bobby explains: Additional tracks include "Hands on Me," about a desperate attempt to remain faithful despite a very tempting dalliance, the mid-tempo ballad "Butterfly Tattoo," which evokes '80s Prince, complete with synthesized accents and an electric guitar solo, and the ballad "Give Me Your Heart," on which Bobby takes listeners to church with divine chords and an evangelical falsetto. ''The Rebirth'' also marks V's production debut with the track "Make You Say," inspired by the hook he wrote and sings on Lil Wayne's hit "Mrs. Officer."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Rebirth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
