♫ J. Holiday – Sooner You Get To Love

R&B crooner J. Holiday is setting to rerelease his album, Back of My ‘Lac with a couple of extra tracks as a deluxe edition. ‘Lac has already been certified gold and his first singled, “Bed” lit up the charts last summer and had everyone going. “Sooner You Get To Love” is a nice slow jam – it has that sound on his album that I love on songs like his second single, “Suffocate.” Very ’90′s of him. The rerelease of J. Holiday’s album is set to drop next week, on February 5th.

♫ Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown – No Air

Jordin Sparks is releasing this beautiful duet with Chris Brown as the next single. A video has already shot for the Underdogs-produced “No Air.” Even though it took me a minute to get into “Tattoo,” “No Air” was definitely the selling point for me. Jordin Sparks has a beautiful voice and this song showcases her vocal ability so well. I think this is a good look for the both of them, especially her, since Chris Brown is on everything these days.

Check both of them out on MySpace and if you’ve dug what you’ve heard, check out the rerelease on the 5th and also, come back to CL to check out Jordin’s new video for “No Air.”

    Please stop the rereleases

  2. CuTyGerEss

    j.holiday look like some dude from around the way….

  3. BassMAN

    I’m officially a J. Holiday fan!

  4. CECE

    I’m feeling “No Air”.. Jordin Sparks voice flows nice over it. Chris Brown needs to get some BASS in his voice. He’s 18 but to me he still sounds like he complaining.. Don’t get me wrong I love Chris, his albums have been exceptional but his voice needs some deepness!

    I love the J. Holiday song. What’s with the re- release? Did his album even sell?

  5. A-Dub

    geez…any originality anymore? j-holiday is a snoozer with that one….average white band killed it so if you can’t do it better, then just leave it alone

  6. CapCityChick

    I like J. Holiday thus far, he does good IMO

    Not really checkign for Jordin, but this is cool

  7. JstBReal

    the Jordin song is pretty good.

  8. Hmm, I like the track by J. Holiday.
    As for Jordin and Chris… that one …meh… for the teens.

  9. Brittney from Toronto

    jordin sparks has an album out?? who knew??
    i dont think anyone down in canada really cares for her.

    j.holiday only went gold??? wow

  10. Ms. Maye

    Man, my homeboi chopped and screwed that song and it goes soooo hard! I highly recommend that everyone cops his album…Got love em’! Man, that song will have you making babies out the ass (sorry)..out the ba-hooky! lol

  11. Shop Girl

    LOL @ 11
    Air is very pretty. Love the music too. Kind of different. Jordan can really sing. She is such a beautiful young lady.

  12. TeTe(didnt feel like loggin in)

    i love ANYTHING j.holiday,that man has a beautiful voice and whats even better is that the way he sounds on a track is EXACTLY how he sounds live…thats rare these days.

    No Air is cool.chris brown is one of those artists i have to like but i do.

  13. Janair

    ALL YA’LL HATAZ CAN HATE BUT I’LL TELL YA’LL UNA COSA. J. HOLIDAY IS DA BEST SINGER I’VE EVER HEARD INCLUDING TREY SONGZ BUT EXCLUDING CHRIS BROWN A LIL HE AIIGHT. BUT NAHAM GOTS IT ALL INCLUDING THE BRAIDS AND THE CD/DVD. LOVE U BOO:))

  14. Brittney from Toronto

    im sorry “no air” has NO presence at all. i can barely remember the song and i just gave it a listen

    even chris brown couldnt save that crappy song.

  15. Gem

    Okay, Jordin bores me… First of all, she looks just like her Daddy and he’s an ex football player with a thumb wrestler build…so you figure that one out… Secondly, her song sounds like something that should have been on Brandy’s “Never Say Never”…
    Don’t care about J. Holiday.

  16. a.k.a. new yorker

    don’t care for this jholiday song but i do like him which is weird b/c i’ve given up on r&b these past yrs. and he’s nothing new but there’s something about HIM that i like so i call myself a fan

    jordin like everyone else said is plain boring. her looks are boring, just another pretty/average girl, her voice bores me, she can sing yes but she doesn’t have a spectacular voice, she just has one of those “i’ve been working with a voice coach since i was 5″ type voices , and her songs are lackluster, filler pop songs

  17. TRAILBLAZER

    I like the J Holiday song. I may get the album…. or something along those lines.
    His song sounds like a remix. I’ve heard that beat/melody before from a rb song from the 80′s or 90′s. I can’t remember the artist or actual name of the song though….

  18. Allegra

    J. Holiday doesnt have presence to me. I like him , it just something about him that doesnt draw me into him. Maybe it’s because he’s not a soulful singer… he could have been on American Idol… Spekaing of American Idol, that Jordan Sparks song is cool w/ Chris Brown, it has been in rotation since November on the mainstream radio stations. She doesnt really appeal to me either, she lacks depth, I know she is a young singer but think about how we all was diggin Brandy and Monica when they first came out. Just not a fan :-(

  19. amber

    i heard the j holiday song a couple weeks back and i love it. even tho he did take the hook from average white band.

  20. Shay

    That J. Holiday song is old as hell, I heard that before I heard Bed. So I guess there’s no point in me getting the rerelease, because I’m sure I heard all of the newly added songs, and have them on a burned CD somewhere in my car lol.

  21. #10, you should really speak for yourself. im from the same place you are, and i think jordin’s cd is great.

  22. t.f.a

    that is not the same of that j. holiday song!! its called “a love of your own”

  23. Brittney from Toronto

    ok well MINA i guess you one of the i dont know….5 ppl in canada who really care for jordin sparks. I didnt even remember that she was the winner of american idol last year and neither did any of the 15 i just asked, and that says a lot cuz i am a huge american idol fan and can name every other winner except for her and taylor hicks, you know why?? cuz she doesnt have and presence or star quality.

    sorry.

  24. Shay

    @ 18 He sampled Average White Band’s song called “A Love of Your Own”

    oh and Brian, J. Holiday’s version is also titled “A Love Of Your Own”

  25. I like jordin song alot. I agree. what’s up with all thr re releases? I KNOW the album is out. I just didn’t buy it!

  26. HOLLIEWOOD

    No Air is Krack! (that Jordin girl is sutn else vocally) – The J-Holly joint is ight too

    For new music hit up – http://www.myspace.com/holliewoodofficial

  27. B-DOT

    That J. Holiday song is HOT! Damn, I’m mad his album only went gold though

  28. J Holiday didn’t just chop that song up………..he f**ked it up too :-(
    The Average White Band must be turning over in their graves.
    ………….If they are in a grave :-)

  29. i love that jholiday song…A love of your own..thats posted…i hate jordin sparks

  30. Sounds like a lovemaking song to me. I love me some J. Holiday. :)

    Jordin’s song is nice.

  31. No Air is okay. Neither sound terrible on it, but Jordin sings (a lot) better than Chris in that song. Her label should’ve found a stronger male vocalist on that track. That said, this is the best I’ve heard Chris Brown sing. His voice is usually nasal-teen-cutie-pie sounding.

  32. I could’ve sworn this song was called “A love of Your Own?” oh well, either title i still LOVE this song (even made it a ringtone)!!! this was my favorite song on the album, i would listen to this song repeatdly and just forget about all the other ones. Love some J.Holiday.
    BUT, i do have to say, this is not the same version, (beat wise) its a bit slower. but i still like it.

    Not a Jordan Sparks fan at all. Her music annoys me

  33. bigbumpaa

    I heard that J.holiday song TIME ago….

    Jordin.. next

  34. Cherry

    Lol @11… U jus made ma ribs hurt!!!… I love me sum J. Holiday!!… Jordan’s song is great!!

  35. chrisbfuturegirl

    I love the no air song only because his chris brown. And yes I am a big supporter of Chris Brown so I love his music. Honestly when he sings he makes me want to cry because I feel his passion when he sings. Jordin annoys the hell outta me and I didn’t want her to win american idol. Chris Brown has a song called, ‘I needed you” now that song is a tear jerker.. J HOLIDAY IS HOTT..that SONG IS FIRE

  36. shayizzle

    I am really feeling no air! I am not really a jordin sparks fan but I am a huge Chris Brown fan and this song is truly increible. They both defintely did their thing on it.

  37. I think the point of the re-releases is to gain more attention to these artists many of whom are putting out good music that people either have not really heard about or didn’t buy it because they incorrectly assumed the person is a 1-hit wonder. I personally both both J. Holiday & Jordin Sparks albums the weeks they came out because I try my hardest to support good music of all genres & I am a music lover in general & have mad respect for real art. That being said, I love both these cuts & both these artists (Jordin can BLOW dontcha know) & my favourite is No Air & I have been playing it non-stop lol. Love romantic songs, an art so lost of the weak minded these days.

  38. happyface

    i honestly cant stand that jordin girl, i dont get why she won AI- shes not that pretty at all, typically “commercially attractive” looking. and her voice is nothing special, she doesnt have a distinctive sound vocally- i could mistake her vocals for anyone elses.

    i like jhol theres something about him, his music is soooo sexy. but im not feeling the song above.

    instead of wasting time re-releasing albums artists should:
    promote their albums the first time its released, do shitloads of great live performances.
    if the first album doesnt do amazingly well then just go to the studio and make a better one, and work on better promotion for the new album

  39. PREMIERE BOURG

    I thought that J.Holiday track was called “A Love Of Your Own”…thats what I have it as on my i-Pod…either way the song is C.R.A.C.K….oh, so S.E.X.Y!!!! I’m SO HAPPY to hear this song FINALLY getting some play!

    Not to mention J.Holiday is one of the most under-rated male singers out right now…along with Trey Songz, and Mario and a few others.

  40. cc

    Not impressed with Jordan. She sounds regular. And these songs are dumb and dumber.

    Can we please stop saying we’re going to suffocate and we can’t breathe without your girl/guy.
    It sounds pitiful. And love shouldn’t have you hyperventilating and all that mess anyway.

  41. Malcolm

    The J. Holiday track is my favorite. It was out way before his album and other stuff came out. I was mad it didn’t make the album but I guess it’ll get its round this time. The duet with Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown is nice too. One of the best collabs Chris has done.

  42. Shelby

    rereleases piss me off……we anticipate when artist release cds, we go get them when they come out on Tuesdays, show them support, then we get screwed for being fans and being interested in buying the artist’s material

  43. Amaria

    That No Air song STAYS on repeat on my blackberry…im gonna download the j holiday song, Suffocate was my ish….

  44. Breezy F Baby

    OMG THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOREVEERRRRRRR!!!!! They play this all the time down here on the underground station. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

  45. One Tree Hill

    What’s up wit da new song , they have been playing on da radio 4 a while now.

  46. AVE ONE

    Up until now I was feeling J.Holiday. I am so upset with how wrong he did the hook from the The Average White Band classic “A Love Of Your Own”. He killed the feeling in that amazing song. That was awful.

  47. noonieluvsreggie

    im feeling J.h’s song but wait i thought his album was out already damn i hate when they put out singles and their album drops like 10 yrs later..example JOE BUDDEN..loved this dude but fuck i gave up cuz i didnt see the next album i bought like 2 of his first album..lol oo and 4DEEP was one of those i dont even think they ever realeased shit!!!so angry

    jordin & chris…..who ever said chris needs bass in his voice i agree..he good but he need to grow up…the song is ok but i dont really see a lot radio play this one…

    IM REALLY GETTING SICK OF MUSIC…there’s nothing good about it anymore..its boring..and the one that deserve credit are being slept on e.i KEVIN MICHAEL,JAZMINE SULLIVAN..ECT…

  48. briana

    don’t really care for either of the songs, but i’m sure they’ll grow on me since the radio stations will probably play it over and over again

    Kelly Rowland said it best “opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one.” When I read some of these postings, it makes me wonder if many of these comments are constructive criticism or just plain out “hate.” Everyone is saying that Jordin Sparks is boring, so maybe if she was addicted to drugs, sleeping around hollywood, dating Chris Brown, or having a custody battle she would be more entertaining. Comment on the music, and not the person. If the song is wack, its wack…but this isn’t a debate of how interesting Jordin Sparks is, its a gauge of how good the song is. And I will have to respectfully disagree with some, and say that I actually like the song. Go figure….

  51. authentic

    he rerelasing it cause his album was garbage and all his good material was left off…way to go

  52. noonieluvsreggie

    @ 51 ppl are entitled to their own opinion wither its about the song or the artist ..who cares we certainly didnt need YOU to examine our comments but hey its a free country..thnx

  53. nat

    thanks for always bringing us new sounds.

  54. applecake

    The kids sound really great, but not for me. I am glad that she is doing her thing she is very talented and I can see big things in the future.

  55. MORGANNA

    I think that J. Holiday jam is actually entitled “A Love of Your Own”. When I first heard that song, J. Holiday hadn’t really made his mark yet. “Bed” had just leaked, and I could’ve sorn that was Mario singing. Is it just me or does he resemble Mario on a couple of notes?? Anyway, I’ve been bumping this joint for a cool little minute now. I just wished he would’ve put it on the album, or drop it as a single.

  56. love him

    i loveeeeeee j.holiday’s voice….AND he sounds EXACTLY the same live : )

    i want his cd

  57. Elizabeth

    I did not know that J. Holiday is responsible for this BEAUTIFUL song, I’m digging it :)
    I have been digging that Jordin Sparks/Chris Brown joint for the longest and I can not wait untill the video come out NEXT week :)

  58. A Fan of J.Holiday

    For all of the haters that had or have something to say negative about MR.Holiday, especially #4 that is not up with the time or things that are going on with the Artist. You need to get your head out of the sand and check the billboards out, for your info Mr. Holiday have gone Certified Gold by RIAA. and by the way while the haters are hating and doing nothing with their life Mr. Holiday will be laughiing all the way to the bank.
