NEW VIDEO: LUKE JAMES, "MAKE LOVE TO ME"

Luke James has had an awesome 2012, and can cap off a great year of progress with a Grammy Nomination for "Best R&B Performance" for "I Want You." To end the year with a bang--why not drop another sensual song for the ladies? This one's called "Make Love To Me," and Luke describes his initial aspirations for the clip as told to ESSENCE.com, "I want people to catch the party feeling; make it a fellowship of spiritual sensuality in the act of dance."

Directed by Frank Gaston, the clip features Stacy Barthe, Terry Ellis (En Vogue), Omari Hardwick, and Kelly Rowland. Watch above.
