As for now, he has the tools to succeed – a regularly enjoyable voice, beautiful production behind him, a connection to Dirty South's capital, and the backing of several influential people. Love, then he should have a productive musical career. If he can vary his subject matter (this disc is strictly for the ladies) and avoid making songs like the cliche-infested Gangsta Valentino shows some potential on his debut album. Valentino's Babyface-like voice is above average without a theatrical edge but with a charismatic street swagger and just the right touch of humble joy. It's something that's greatly welcomed on an R&B album these days. Outside this decent Ludacris appearance, he has no guest rap appearances that usually taint most contemporary R&B records. Subject matter aside, Valentino busts out a swoony vocal gift that, if not the stuff of legends, should serve him well on the R&B charts:įorgive You, a Winans influence wanders in on Loveĭream, and an old-school Coolio-style rap raises an edge around Give The song titles – shameless to a one – say it all: Lights This pillow-talky album must have been recorded with candles filling the recording studio, but you can bet there was the faint smell of patchouli too.
It's easy to imagine Bobby Valentino stretched out on a crimson, crushed-velvet couch as he delivered his self-titled debut. There's a lot to like on this debut, the over-the-top attempt to insinuate himself into the fantasies of the opposite sex especially. Pan flutes, atmospheric interludes, and French women cooing sweet nothings flesh out his debut album, that's 99.9 percent "for the ladies," save an appearance from Ludacris, who made Valentino the first R&B singer in the rapper's DTP (Disturbing tha Peace) crew. His last name evokes Valentine's Day and the old-time star of romantic movies. Like Usher, Valentino (whose real surname is Wilson) presents himself as a sex symbol. It seems like the young R&B singers - although, you could say this for the genre as a whole - either want to be irrepressible lovermen or thuggish gentlemen. Discounting Usher, there hasn't been someone who makes you want to listen to him. It's been a while since a young male R&B crooner has made an impact on the music scene.
