R&B singer J. Holiday is well aware of that sophomore album curse, especially since his debut album "Back Of My Lac" was Grammy-nominated right out the gate.
"I'm just trying to stay consistent," J. Holiday told Singersroom at New York's S.O.B.'s recently.
"I've been fortunate enough to have creative control with both of my albums."
While the singer admits that he's doing well with Capitol, his label home, he admits to feeling comfortable enough to turn down records.
"I've actually turned down records," says Holiday when asked about his decision to shy away from popular Hip Hop collaborations.
"It's not about the whoo ha for me. I refuse to be on a song I don't agree with."
With that said, Holiday has been seen on a few Hip Hop based records including Fat Joe's " I Won't Tell" but says when it comes to his voice "it has to be the right record."
"I don't want to do records that are similar to other records that are out."
J. Holiday's sophomore effort "Round 2," led by single "It's Yours," is due to hit stores and digital retailers March 9 via Capitol Records. Click Here to watch Part I of Singersroom's one-on-one with J. Holiday.

BaBy you lookin real good these dayz keep doing u honey. I look forward to workin with u in the future
that dosen't sound right.
J. Holiday has alot going for him, and I hope he dosen't fall into the Ne-yo pattern of making R&B cats look foolish( See Ne-yo in a blond wig on this site)...It's ironic he wears fodora's like Ne-yo and plus Holiday is bringing the light-skinned boys back, which R&B has been missing since the days of Christopher Williams and Chico Debarge; Chris Brown not included!
