Rising reggae rock singer, songwriter, producer and guitarist Joe Samba has released the summer anthem “Little Love” via LAW Records. PRESS HERE to listen. On the new track, produced by Anthony Resta (Duran Duran, Collective Soul) and Samba, breezy acoustic guitar washes over an organic beat as Joe’s high register gives way to a chantable handclap-boosted chorus: “It makes the world feel bright and new when you put a little love in what you do.” PRESS HERE to watch the official music video for “Little Love,” directed by Tyler Ayers at Revelry Studios.
“‘Little Love’ is an anthem to motivate myself and others to continue on this journey of doing what I love for a living,” shares Samba. “Even if what you do isn’t everything to you, ask yourself how you can put a little love into it.”
Known for his energetic live show, Joe and his bandmates will bring the grooves to various cities this summer with a mix of headlining shows, festival appearances, and dates supporting Ballyhoo! and Bumpin Uglies.

Joe Samba has a song for every season. You could drift off into the smoky summer groove of his reggae-infused bangers or jump into spring fueled by the punk rock gallop of his guitar-driven anthems. He’s got the kind of melodies that could warm you back to life in the winter and the chantable hooks you want to celebrate with on a year-end victory lap in the fall. He threads everything together with unfiltered emotion and honest lyrics about life as a father, husband, son, friend, and artist.
Following a childhood immersed in music, the Massachusetts-born and now New Hampshire-based multi-talent paid his dues by endlessly gigging around the Northeast. He formally introduced himself as an artist via The Wrong Impression in 2019. Samba’s independent debut topped the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, debuting at #1 and gathering millions of streams. During 2022, he leveled up on his sophomore album Far From Forever (LAW Records), featuring the singles “Create Something,” “Boomer Economy” and “Beef.” Along the way, Samba has amassed over 17 million total streams, toured or played alongside everyone from The Dirty Heads, Ziggy Marley and Pepper to Shwayze and Sublime With Rome, and performed at such festivals as Summer Camp Music Festival, Cali Vibes, Reggae Rise Up, and Cali Roots Festival.
Stay tuned for more music from Joe Samba coming soon!
