I really enjoyed/enjoy Bobby V's first two albums. They have great production and BV delivered the lyrics well making for plenty of hits. 'The Rebirth' is pretty good and musically follows much of the same flow of the previous albums. It does start off slowly though. The opening track, 'Make You the Only One', sounds almost identical to some past material which isn't a surprise as it's produced by Tim & Bob who worked on Bobby's earlier albums. Unfortunately though, perhaps a sign that this album wasn't going to match his first 2, is that it isn't touching their best collaborations. 'Hands on Me' and 'Butterfly Tattoo', both produced by Los da Mystro, sound like production The-Dream would sing over. From the first nine songs, there is nothing great. The Yung Joc assisted, 'Beep', and the aforementioned 'Butterfly Tattoo' are above decent and the cover of 'Just Me & You' is worth a second listen as well, but the album really takes off in the second half where there is more creativity shown with songs like the Prince inspired 'Another Life'. Including the bonus tracks, 'Your Smile' and 'Why', Tim & Bob produce 5 of the last 10 and help to elevate the album There are a few songs that don't hit home, but the best are great and there are plenty of them in the second half of the album in particular.
