Having his intended new album leak weeks before its release was apparently no deterrent for Bobby Valentino. On his re-created sophomore set, the DTP crooner returns with heartfelt ballads and midtempo tunes full of superlative production. On the Darkchild-produced "If I Had My Way," the Atlanta native pines for the true object of his desire —nevermind that both he and the woman are seeing other people. But Valentino keeps his wandering eye in check on tracks like the Tim & Bob-crafted "Make You the Only One," where he proclaims he's "turning his player card in." Elsewhere, the crooning on "Where You Belong" and "Over and Over" ("I wanna play with your body like a drum") reminds us why we fell in love with Valentino's sound in the first place.—Mariel Concepcion
