Luke James returns with his new R&B "pre-album" 'Whispers in the Dark.'

The New Orleans singer releases this 10-song teaser to tide fans over until his 2013 studio effort. Producer-rapper Hit-Boy provides the only guest verse on 'Oh God,' a melancholy love song. "You left me with these tears baby and gave me all these fears baby," Luke croons.

'The Blues' has a tender jazz feel and provides a nice bed for James' vocal talents while 'Hurt Me' is a sultry and sensual ode. "When I'm in your hood, all we do is bang, bang, bang," sings the 2013 Grammy nominated artist.

The singer earned a nod for Best R&B Performance for his track 'I Want You.' He's up against fellow crooners Miguel and Usher.
