A new talent with a timeless essence, 25-year-old singer/songwriter Luke Tyler Shelton encapsulates the warm embrace of the sun and the comforting glow of love in his third single, “Love on My Mind” – a luminous, harmony-rich tribute to connection and intimacy.
The release date indicates 2024, yet it may remind you of a track from the mid-1970s. Channeling the rich sounds of Laurel Canyon reminiscent of bands like The Eagles, Jackson Browne, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, Luke Tyler Shelton is indeed a new artist with an old soul. Originating from the San Fernando Valley, his third single radiates with warmth, supported by producer Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker) and Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Angel Olsen).
“Love on My Mind” showcases lyrics that reveal his deep emotions:
Waking up this morning
With love on my thoughts
It’s something I’ve been longing for
To be with a kind-hearted woman
She lifts me up
And never lets me down
She reigns in this town
And when I start feeling low
I’m grateful she’s around
Because no one loves me like my lady
She’s my sweet one, my baby, yeah.
“‘Love on My Mind’ has been one of my favorite songs to perform since I penned it,” Shelton shares with Atwood Magazine. “The song speaks to finally discovering someone to love and who loves you in return, and feeling secure in a relationship for the first time.”
“It’s a gentle song played in an open E tuning, which I often prefer,” he adds. “This tuning allows me to create unique chord shapes that wouldn’t work in standard tuning. This is another piece from my recording at Jonathan Wilson’s Topanga studio, collaborating with him and Shooter Jennings.”
While his words are simple and direct, his voice, songwriting, and overall sound are nothing short of enchanting. Shelton immerses himself in the beauty and wonder of love, crafting a narrative for all to enjoy.
I roamed far from home
Climbing many hills
Yet my demons left me be
With no reason to conceal
And now I understand that wherever I venture
She’ll be by my side
Nothing could be clearer
When she holds me tight
Because no one can love me like my lady
She’s my sweet one, my baby, yeah.
“Love on My Mind” is sincere, genuine, revealing, and introspective, making it a sunny companion to the highs that turn everyday moments into memorable experiences. Luke Tyler Shelton is a visionary, and with only four songs released so far (and a full album on the horizon), he’s undoubtedly one of the standout artists of 2025 – a must-watch artist brimming with passion and promise.
This isn’t the 1970s; it’s the present, and we all have the opportunity to join him on what promises to be an extraordinary journey.
They say this house was meant to burn
We’ll ignite the match when our time comes
So when your heart starts to ache
And your world begins to tremble,
Turn your loving light up bright
There’s nothing to fear
Just allow your thoughts to unfold
I’ll be here to guide you through the night
The path I've chosen is lengthy
But I’ve enjoyed the ride
And I don’t mind solitude
When love's on my mind
And now I realize that wherever I go
I’ll be by her side
Nothing here is more evident
When I’m holding her close
No one can love me like my lady
She’s my sweet one, my baby.
