Joe Samba Releases Video for ‘Losing It’ Feat. The Elovators
As he prepares to kick off his first-ever U.S. headlining tour tomorrow, rising singer, songwriter, and guitarist Joe Samba, who finds the sweet spot between smoked-out Caribbean bliss and sweat-soaked punkified energy, has released the official music video for his single “Losing It” featuring The Elovaters. The track is a fan favorite off Samba’s sophomore album, Far From Forever.
“Joe Samba has emerged as a purveyor of positive vibes, joyfully merging his optimistic energy with unifying messages delivered via catchy choruses and infectious grooves. His eclectic brand of upbeat reggae rocks with an undeniable soul/funk infused pop-appeal, while leveling his dynamic vocal range and guitar chops against an honest and, at times, raw lyricism.” – Live For Live Music
“While I’m busy working on new music to come out next year, here’s a visual for a goodie off my last album featuring my friend Jackson Wetherbee of The Elovaters,” shares Samba. “I also can’t believe I’m starting my first national tour this week. Super stoked for this and hope to see as many of you out there!”
“Losing It”
With guitar slung low, microphone turned up, and emotion overflowing, Joe Samba taps into rock ‘n’ roll spirit and reggae soul all at once. The Massachusetts-born and now New Hampshire-based artist sonically teeters on an axis of island-inflected grooves and gritty guitar-craft balanced by his dynamic vocals and honest emotion. Samba first recognized music’s inherent power to connect as a kid, growing up surrounded by music in his household. After testing the waters as a teen in a metal band, Joe soon cut his teeth performing solo in countless bars and watering holes and then, in 2019, released his independent debut, The Wrong Impression, which made a major splash. The album bowed at #1 on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart and has since clocked over 2 million streams, thanks in part to the breakout hit “How We Do.”
In a few short years, Joe Samba has quietly emerged as a phenomenon racking up over 8 million total streams and building up his acclaimed live show. Throughout 2023, Joe has toured extensively from coast to coast supporting Pepper, Badfish: A Tribute To Sublime, and Shwayze, performed at numerous festivals including Summer Camp Music Festival, Cali Roots Festival, Reggae Rise Up Florida and Maryland, and Cali Vibes 2023, and opened for Sublime With Rome, Andy Frasco & The U.N, and Ziggy Marley, in addition to various headlining shows.
Joe Samba launches his headlining fall tour November 2nd in Atlanta. The 26-date trek, featuring support from Joey Harkum, will make its way along the eastern seaboard stopping in such cities as Charleston, Asheville, Richmond, New York City (November 9th), Boston, Jacksonville, and Tampa, before heading to the Midwest (Grand Rapids, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Omaha, among others) and then wrapping December 16th in Denver.
