Luke James - These Arms (Audio)

[@TheCurtmusic1]

Luke poured his heart into this song. It should have been a big hit. My son Eric Hudson produced and co-wrote this song and I played guitar on it. Sadly the music industry doesn't want real R&B today. When I spoke to Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak in Vegas, they said it was very hard for them to keep doing old school R&B music. I'm glad to see some people are appreciating this music. We need more and more people onboard to save R&B music. Trust me, there are a lot of talented R&B singers and producers out there who can't break mainstream. They just need the support of people like you in these comments. My son produced and co-wrote Trey Songz song "All This Love", which did well but should have been bigger too. HELP SAVE R&B!!!!!!

[@babyluve2323]

I love both songs. I can definitely hear the similarity of Ole school rhythms! Much love to your son..

[@antonioallen8793]

Absolutely tell son son to keep doin what he doin! We will always appreciate good music like this!

[@feliciajordan3331]

This song is Amazing alone with his voice...go Luke

[@mochashebful]

Hope you guys never give up on RnB. It's such a beautiful and rich genre. I love both songs.

[@karengibson9777]

R&B is not dimming as long people like your son & you keep it alive 💗 !!

[@cheycheyc]

It’s sad the current generation is not going to appreciate this wonder. If he was born a couple of generations earlier he would be a superstar. Love this mans voice. Wonderful song.

[@superfly3214]

You're right about if he was born a couple generations earlier 🤷 dude a beast stg

[@superfly3214]

Have you seen him do this live?? It's a lil small setting/crowd. It's dope!! He killed it

[@sambanks7939]

I was born in 2003 but my soul stays in old school music because it’s way better then most of the bullshit these days

[@PatinaEdochie]

I agree and really even the older generations in late 30s and 40s still struggling in general appreciating let alone giving or showing love like this which is sad smh Tired of having to be on the defense for myself it would be a beautiful and RELIEVING thing to be actually safe in some arms and chest to lay on and just feel safe, loved (with some good suga 😩) and like dats ME and he bs free! 😂😩🤦🏽‍♀️ I miss that kinda love it’s been so longggg lawd fix itttt 🙏🏽💯💓

[@terrymoody6479]

I play this song over and over. The video on u-tube is better, he can truly sing. He reminds me of my favorite singer Prince. When he sang on black girls rock I was HOOKED!

[@tanishaw01]

Wow let us give this man his flowers.

[@chadsolomon571]

Luke resurrected R&B with this 1

[@pierrehamilton3510]

This is what's missing in RnB

[@TheFastFreddy]

Pierre Hamilton i agree 100%

[@phoenixrising8240]

Right? Need to bring the old school stuff back.

[@rushawndarobertson2488]

Amen we need more music like this!!

[@KrazyDave1978]

Pierre Hamilton you definitely got that right for, this is what r&b music is supposed to continue sounding like. Real talk here.

[@toinettabrice5303]

I love this song!!

[@waistingdowntimeii3722]

I always said Luke is if Prince, D'Angelo and Maxwell did a weird experiment, then Marvin Gaye stamped his brand in approval, hehe.

[@naeehmas]

[@mindofamango3903]

I can here prince and maxwell

[@terrelljones2512]

garvin hart i think he also paid attention to Maxwell music also.

[@sroyalty.0480]

Terrell Jones well Maxwell wwnt off of Prince so

[@phoenixrising8240]

garvin hart I thought the same. Made me think of Prince.

[@ANGELB618]

I get a Prince, Maxwell, with a hint of Deangelo kind of vibe.

[@Jman417]

True that

[@bree_amputee]

You is right

[@breakingnewzentertainment892]

Yo, if this isn't a hit then something is wrong with people!!! I've had this on repeat for the past week. It's such a pure R&B feel. I miss music like this.

[@dalphonhamilton9980]

Don't know what's wrong with Young folks today. LOL. Been listening to this for a little while now. This brother can SANG!!! Asked my 20 and 17 year old granddaughters what they thought of it. Neither of them had heard it yet. SMDH. Damn shame when a 65 y/o granddad is jamming to a relatively new cut before his grandkids have even heard it. Still haven't heard it on the Chicago stations. This should go triple or quadruple platinum. I know more Boomers who love this song than young folks.

[@jilisaevans4360]

@@dalphonhamilton9980 you watch your fingers old skool. Some youngsters know WHAT real music is! This is in with the Mayfield and chi-lites collections! Not all are ignorant to a classic old or new!

[@dalphonhamilton9980]

@@jilisaevans4360 LOL. I know it's not all. My sons (38, 32, 32 twins, & 26) love hip-hop and rap, and know almost as many Motown & Stax songs as I do. But it caught me off guard when I was the one to introduce them to this song. Not only them but my older grandkids, too. I am SOOOO glad to know some of my gens kids & grandkids are not letting their talents go to waste.

Damn he's voice has gotten so much stronger...:)

[@professorXcross]

Stronger? I feel like this isn't even a strong one for Luke, but rather a thoughtful banger. Like, for Luke I feel like this particular version isn't as vocally straining as say.... A Hurt Me performance. In what ways is this song stronger than his past songs?

This is the 2018 Maxwell-Pretty Wings

[@lareelaree8510]

I'm so mad that this KING in R&B is still SO underrated.. This is why I always say that I wish I was born back in the 70s so that I could've experienced the world of music in the 80s and 90s. Because they actually APPRECIATED true TALENT back in those days and they still treasure it to this day. And I just know that if this song along with Luke James' other music was released back in those days..Chileeee! He would be getting way more EXPOSURE and Appreciation for his WONDERFUL & AMAZING GIFT that he shares with us. I Love and Appreciate you and your BEAUTIFUL voice Luke James!
