New Orleans-born crooner Luke James belts out high notes beyond compare. Once his smooth vocals are heard, it's hard to deny his power, his presence and the pleasure his sound brings to the senses. For those unfamiliar with his work, his new single, 'I Want You,' is a good indication of his talents. On the song and in the accompanying video, which can be viewed below, the singer-songwriter croons with conviction, telling his lady love she's the only one he desires.

As the solo newcomer -- he was once signed to J Records as a duo -- re-introduces himself to the masses, his new EP, titled '#Luke,' will serve as the first handshake. From the mellow mid-tempo tune 'Soldier' to the transfixing ballad 'Signs of Rain,' the artist, who's signed to lauded producer Danja's New Age Rock Stars imprint via Def Jam, delivers a commendable project.

Uncover the mystery of this southern soul, as he explains his link to Frank Ocean, reveals a new song he has with Estelle and admits his past as a self-proclaimed "dirtbag."
