J. Holiday broke through in 2007 with the sultry R&B Number One "Bed," a title that sums up his cosmology. Round 2 rarely strays far from the mattress: bodies colliding with headboards, the whisper of sheets — everything short of thread counts and Posturepedic model numbers. Holiday coos in a limpid falsetto over languid tempos and unobtrusive production, while emphasizing utilitarianism ("Turn up the radio/So you can yell as loud as you want"). He's not breaking new ground, but he's a skilled classicist. And dedicated: Only a true believer would dare sing, "Every freakin' night/And every freakin' day/I wanna freak you, baby/In every freakin' way."
