00:00What it do, y'all?
00:00Can I get a yeah?
00:01Yeah.
00:03Oh, I love that.
00:04I love that.
00:04I love that.
00:06So I'm here to present the next award to a brother of mine,
00:10a perennial king in love making ballads and pillow talk
00:13confessions.
00:14Lucky Day has become the new age blueprint in R&B.
00:19Women swoon because when this brother croons,
00:21it's smooth like butter.
00:23After his 2019 breakthrough painted,
00:26Lucky Day put the world on notice
00:27and let them know that New Orleans isn't
00:29just the home of Frank Ocean, but another R&B superstar
00:33capable of driving the genre forward.
00:36By aligning himself with D-Mile early in his career,
00:40Lucky became a risk taker, stretching
00:42the boundaries of his creativity as proven
00:44by his new album, Algorithm.
00:47His versatility remains unmatched there
00:50as he tap dances through various soundscapes
00:52with relative ease.
00:54Ultimately, the R&B gods rewarded him for his efforts
00:58as he earned his first number one on R&B Adult this year
01:02as a lead artist with That's You.
01:07From songwriter to Grammy Award winner,
01:11Lucky Day is one of the reasons why R&B will continue
01:14to shine for years to come.
01:16So without further ado, Billboard
01:19would like to present this year's Torchbearer
01:21Award to Lucky Day.
01:30My brother.
01:32Thank you, man.
01:33How y'all doing, man?
01:34How y'all doing?
01:36Oh, you had a teleprompter.
01:41Look, hey, y'all look beautiful, man.
01:43I want to say thank you to Billboard.
01:46I want to say thanks to all my friends, all the peers
01:48that support me.
01:50I couldn't do it without them.
01:53This signifies that Billboard sees the light in my music of love and of happiness.
02:00And that's all I strive to do, man.
02:02And I am in it for the long haul, and longevity is in me, so yeah, you right about that.
02:06I'm not going to stop, and I'm going to continue to evolve R&B.
02:10Tonight we celebrate.
