[edit] Facts

The album was set to be released on December 12, 2006, but was delayed and rescheduled to February 13, 2007. The album is now being pushed back again to April 03, 2007, according to Valentino's official website.

Special Occasion is speculated to consist of all different tracks that no one is going to expect - "95% unleaked".

The second single from the album is "Anonymous", featuring and composed by producer Timbaland.

Valentino has also offered fans Special Occasion's ten-song guarantee, which now has become a catchphrase: "I have a 10-song guarantee," the singer says. "If you don't like at least 10 songs off my album, you can get your money back."

Valentino plans to release an Underground Love album following the release of Special Occasion.

It was rumored that the song "Pullin' Up", featuring Smoke of Field Mob, would be on this album, but the song is actually on Lil' Romeo's album God's Gift.
