R&B fans have proven to be fickle, especially with the genre being all but absent on the music charts right now. After being a part of a best-selling group, Mista, and having several hit singles on his own as a solo artist, it’s been several years since Bobby has scored big with fans. For his latest project, Bobby VÂ says he went back to work with producer Tim Kelley who was a big part of the success of his first album, Bobby Valentino which debuted in 2005. “People always come up to me and say I loved your first album, so I decided to go back to what worked the first time.”
Bobby is so convinced that this album represents a great collection of R&B music that he’s offering fans a money back guarantee. “If you buy this album and don’t love at least eight songs then I’ll give you your money back,” Bobby V said while visiting reality check, a segment which airs live on rolling out‘s Facebook page.
“I think R&B artists need to collaborate more, that’s what hip-hop artists do,” Bobby said. “You can have eight hip-hop artists on one song and the song will be a hit and everybody gets their shine. R&B artists should do that, it would make the genre stronger.”
Although Bobby is looking to do R&B collabs, hip-hop legend Snoop is on his first single off the new project. “It was a blessing to get Snoop on this track. I think people are gonna vibe with it, “Bobby says.
Bobby says real R&B fans will love Electrik. “There are definitely some lovemaking songs on there. You got some baby-making records, some uptempo and mids, but there is a lot of instrumentation and just good music. If someone can name a better album I’d love for them to tell me about it so I can go buy it too,” he joked.
