Bobby V. is back with his second offering, Special Occasion, and his narcissistic alter ego constantly reminding listeners who he is on just about every track. The lead single "Anonymous," featuring Timbaland, is upbeat and reminiscent of the begging and whining of the Keith Sweat era. BV redeems himself by dampening thongs on the remake of Babyface's late '80s hit, "Soon as I Get Home." The remaining tracks are actually quite playful and enjoyable. -malibu jones
