Bobby Valentino
Jan 3, 2011
Bobby Valentino, who recently shortened his name to just Bobby V., is droppin a new album called Fly on the Wall sometime in 2011. He's already released one single, the song "Phone #," which features Plies, and now the album's second single, a sexy track called "Words," was just released. "Words" is definitely a smooth, surprisingly well-sung ballad.
Bobby V wants less jibber jabber and more action from his girl on the intoxicating "Words." The single, set to appear on his fourth album Fly on the Wall, bears production from The Pentagon (formerly known as The Underdogs) and showcases the R&B singer crooning such choice lines as, "You want me to believe that you ain't even like that/ Baby show me that you ain't even like that/ Words don't mean that much to me."
"This song is very representative of what my forthcoming album, Fly on the Wall, will sound like," Bobby tells Rap-Up.com. "It's been a while since I've released a true R&B record as a single. Everyone that buys my albums always falls in love with my ballads, which are my favorite to make. Honestly, I've been a little scared to release them as singles because mainstream radio caters more towards hip-hop and uptempo R&B records. It's definitely a harder sell because a lot of records break in the club and DJs rarely play slow music in the club. I can't remember the last time I saw anybody slow dancing in the club. I wish those days would come back. I know times have changed but I'm definitely up for the challenge."
Fly on the Wall is the follow-up album to The Rebirth, which debuted at No. 7 on Billboard's Top 200 chart, and at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Blu Kolla Dreams/EMI Music Services distributed the album in the US and in international territories, as well as providing a suite of services such as promotion, publicity and access to digital platforms.
