Luke Howell is a seasoned musician who got his big break in the X Factor boyband What About Tonight. However, he had much bigger dreams than making manufactured pop. After spending a couple of years in Los Angeles collaborating with top producers and songwriters, he’s back on home soil and making his own music. His long-awaited debut single is “Stuck On You,” a laidback rootsy soul-pop number that takes inspiration from James Bay and Matt Corby.
Luke said the song “came naturally” during a session with local producer Josh Beattie.
“After recording about five songs that day, we came across this punchy bass line that moved us all in different/interesting ways. For what started out as lyrically sad, the groove of the record was anything but that. It evolved into to something magic and we knew that we were on a good path.”
Luke is currently working on an EP of new material that showcases his own sound. If this track is any indication, fans are in for a real treat.
