Luke James Releases New Single 'Exit Wounds'

Luke James Exit WoundsIsland Records

Luke James is on a roll. We’re just weeks away until his self-titled album hits stores and today (Sept. 2), the crooner drops a new single called ‘Exit Wounds.’


Much like his previous singles — ‘Dancing in the Dark‘ and ‘Options‘ — the piano-driven track is another emotional ballad.


Produced by Danja and Ms. Lago, the song features James using his falsetto to sing about being dumped, which brings him much sadness and anger.


“I hope you know, this ain’t a heart, it’s just an exit wound that just won’t close / My brain is guarded each time I let you through, you left a hole,” he laments before shouting, “F— you!”


Last week, James revealed the cover art and tracklist of his self-titled album, which arrives in stores on Sept. 23. The collection features production from Kadis & Sean, the Alliance, Salaam Remi and others.


In addition, you can see James stripping down to his birthday suit in his latest video for ‘Dancing in the Dark.’
