He is not Beyonce LOL but I'm glad this album will finally see the light of day. IOU probably won't make it but I don't see why I Want You wouldn't. A Grammy nominated single is great for publicity and promotion.
I need an uptempo though, I love most of everything I've heard but these men in R&B need to give us some BANGERZ!!!

It seems like it has been forever since this release was announced. It is good that we are closer to its release. He just needs a single to take off.

I think "Options" is boring. It doesn't have any life in it.

His best shot at selling some records is making this his album cover.

Like Miguel, Travis Garland, Usher, The Weeknd, and few others I am glad that he is taking the less features is more approach. I came for Luke James, not a plethora of other artists to muddy his work.

Love the artworks! I hope this gets mainstream attention. I'm surprised he hasn't caught on Rhythmic/Urban yet.

I'm loving Island's "let's do not much of anything" approach to the album's marketing and promo.

I'm going to make a prediction. The album will underperform initially, but will become a sleeper hit similar to Miguel's All I Want Is You.

Ooh. It's available for pre-order and the deluxe is only $7.99. Gah, I want to buy it physically but then I have to pay $6 more. Tough choice lol.

I don't get why he's not more popular. In terms of VOCALS, he beats Trey, Chris, August, Weeknd, Jeremih, etc... I haven't heard a song of his yet that I don't like.

"Dancing In The Dark" is one of my favorite R&B songs released this year. I LOVE IT! I hope he blows up.

I'm aware of the Grammy nomination but they really should've let IWY go at this point. I'd have preferred Just Might Die on the album instead.

I would have added it as a bonus cut and left out "Make Love to Me" (never liked that song). Waste of a space when we could have heard something new.

He reminds me of a John Legend and Frank Ocean hybrid. I thought he had potential since his first song out a few years back.

Just finished listening. Really liking it. Love the singles (excluding "Make Love to Me" ), "The Run", and "Expose". The only two I dislike are "Glass House" (nothing to it) (now I am starting to like this) and "Make Love To Me". Really getting some Miguel vibes from this. This might do fairly well without any promotion. It's currently #17 on R&B albums and it's just a pre-order. I wouldn't be surprised to see a song of his as Single of the Week on iTunes next week. Likely "Dancing In the Dark", if it were to be anything.
