List: The 10 Artists That We Are Most Thankful For This Year!

By Ni'Kesia Pannell on Nov 26, 2014

Luke James

More often than not, true R&B talents miss the shine that they deserve. This case is nothing less than true for R&B crooner Luke James. While his self-titled debut album was an incredible display of his gifts, it has been passed over by many. Debatably one of the strongest projects from 2014, the album yielding tracks such as “Dancing In The Dark,” “Love XYZ,” “Exposé,” and more, would give some of the great talents a run for their money.

Although he may still be young in age, Luke’s talent – vocally and on stage – far exceeds the majority of his male competitors as he remains true to authentic R&B. His dedication, determination, and faithfulness in the genre have all worked together to land him a comfortable spot on this year’s list.
