NOW HEAR THIS: J. HOLIDAY

It’s simple, really. The Sooner You Get To Love singer J. Holiday, the sooner you’ll go out and purchase his gold-certified debut album, Back of My Lac. For those who passed over the album after it came out on October 2, of this past year, Capitol Records has a February treat for you. The label and Holiday have decided to repackage the album, mark it as a special ‘deluxe edition,’ and re-release it with three brand new songs and a second disc with videos and behind-the-scenes coverage. Sooner You Get To Love, the only new record which will be treated as a single, isn’t as catchy as the #1 hit Bed. However, it just might be good enough to turn some people into Bed lovers if they already were’nt. The re-release will land in stores and at online retailers on February 5th.

J. Holiday The Measure of a Man, The stereotype is true. All R&B singers are unusually smooth, no matter what they’re talking about. It doesn’t matter whether they’re describing a passionate sexual escapade or a deep, emotional scar — it still comes out melodic. J. Holiday is slightly newer, but no different from the rest in that respect. He’s 23 and already knows life’s twists and turns. He stands ready to embrace a grown mentality.
