Singer songwriter James Ghareeb, from Peoria Illinois, but now resident in Chicago, has released his new single, ‘Do It With Luv’, ahead of the forthcoming EP of the same name, out later this year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

First finding success through his Vine videos, where he would make short clips of covers of Justin Bieber and other top selling artists, James garnered over 6 million views. He recorded his first EP, ‘Hanging From The Stars’ back in 2015, seeing him debut at number 4 on the iTunes chart. This attracted the attention of producer Tony Ghantous, known for his work with Kris Allen, and for Disney, who got together with Ghareeb for his second EP.<\/p>\n

‘Do It With Luv’ takes James’ signature songwriter vibes and blends them with elements of pop, rock, and 90s R&B. The EP is eagerly awaited by James’ legion of fans. The EP precedes James’ first full length album, ‘Colours’, earmarked for release next year.<\/p>\n

For the title track, Lebanese-American Ghareeb sings in a reggae style, combined with pop, singing about issues facing young people today: conflict and general worries – and his solution – in everything you do – do it with luv.<\/p>\n
