Two-time Grammy Nominated R&b Artist Luke James Debuts Sophomore Album “to Feel Love/d”

Celebrated Actor and Grammy-nominated Artist Luke James have finally released his highly anticipated R&B album, “to feel love/d” across all international digital streaming platforms. To coincide with the album release, James is also set to embark on an eight-leg tour of intimate performances in key U.S. cities, with select markets such as Washington, D.C., New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA and more already sold out.

Speaking on the new release, James says, “This album is a body of work that is a culmination of experiences and ideas… [it’s] music that I’ve lived with for a while. I like to think of this album as more of a bridge into my new endeavors being an independent artist.”

“to feel love/d” marks James’ much-awaited return to his widely successful music career following a two-year hiatus to focus on his work in acting. The three singles from the album, entitled “go girl” ft. BJ The Chicago Kid and Ro James, “all of your love,” and “blow” have already taken the music streaming platforms by force, including features on massive playlists such as Spotify’s New Music Friday, Are & Be and rotation on Amazon’s Global R&B platform. Music has also been added to radio powerhouses WBLS – New York, SiriusXM’s Heart and Soul and much more.

Throughout his career, James has written songs for the likes of Justin Bieber, Snoh Aalegra, Chris Brown and more. He has also performed alongside the late Prince and is one of the very few artists to ever open for Beyoncé, during her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. James received his first Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance for his hit song “I Want You” (from his first mixtape “#Luke”) and received his second Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song for “Options” ft. Rick Ross (from his self-titled debut album “Luke James”).

On television, James is set to star in the third season of the Lena Waithe-produced hit Showtime drama series, “The Chi,” returning to screens July 3, 2020. James is also well-known for his starring role in the musical drama series “Star” on FOX. Additional acting credits for James include recurring arcs on HBO’s “Insecure,” USA’s “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.,” and his role as R&B singer Johnny Gill on BET’s “The Bobby Brown Story”. James also recently starred in the smash hit Universal Pictures’ comedy “Little,” opposite Issa Rae, Regina Hall and Marsai Martin.
