His songs are heart wrenching stories outlined by divine melodies, intelligent and hooky guitar lines set in subtly epic productions with Luke Pickett’s unique soaring vocals and signature falsetto. This young man has a way of spinning a classic love tale into an über-romantic twisted musical sonnet. Luke Pickett is the troubadour sent back from the future to wake us up from the banality of shoe-gazing retro hippies.
Citing Jeff Buckley, Michael Jackson, and Prince as influences, this 22 year old’s sound is somewhat hard to pin down. It’s labeled Acoustic/Alternative/R&B, but Luke Pickett’s music is clearly the result of a wide range of influences.
Luke has previously fronted post-hardcore band Her Words Kill.

Ooo
First up, it paid off we′re stronger now than we ever were before
Held on now we're tough
Girl, you had my back when everyone was running
Doing nothing wrong, getting nothing right
We been waiting on this moment since like 2:05
Are you ready for it? Is it ready for me?
Gon' and deal that dream
I don't want to leave
Why can′t we go back to what it was? (yeah)
No big plans just you and me sharing our simple love
Simple Love, Love, Love
Simple love, love, love
Simple love, love, love
Simple love, love, love
Oouuou
House calls, late nights,
Girl we park it up and girl you always give up that fan
Every night is a memory
But we′re loosing what every single time i leave(yeah)
Is there still a place in your heart for me?
She looked at me and said aint you got places to be
Gotta put you first, caus baby youre my last
Im still clinging on to the past
Why cant we go back to what it was baby
No big plans just you and me sharing our simple love
Simple love love love
Simple love love love
Simple love love love
Simple love love love
And I don't want to talk about the days that im gone
And i don′t want to talk about the days that you called (ouu ouuu)
And i dont want to talk about the
Days that i should have stayed to talk
You don't have to say nothing at all at all
Why cant we go back to what it was (what it was)
No regrets just you and me sharing (why cant we)
Why cant we go back to what was (why cant we go back to what it was)
No big plans(no bigger plans) just
You and me sharing (just you and me)
Just you and me
