My Take
J. Holiday is, for me, a vivid snapshot of late-2000s R&B. Born Nahum Grymes in Washington, D.C., he caught lightning with 2007's "Bed," a hushed, bedroom-soft single that climbed to number five on the Hot 100 and carried his debut Back of My Lac' to the same spot on the album chart, even charting in the UK. I have a soft spot for artists who imprint a single song so deeply that it never quite leaves you. One indelible record is a real achievement, and that whispered, intimate vocal earned him a permanent corner of the era's soundtrack.
