Lifeline, the third full-length album from the rising reggae rock singer, songwriter, producer and guitarist, includes the lead single and summer anthem “Little Love” (hailed as “an absolute bop” and “a mood-booster”) and his latest singles “Meant To Be” with Wax and “Home” with Mihali, the latter two co-produced by Eric Krasno of Soulive.

For Lifeline, Samba worked with outside producers for the first time, recording four tunes with Krasno (a huge personal influence for Joe) and three in LA’s famed Laurel Canyon with Anthony Resta (Duran Duran, Collective Soul), who co-produced “Little Love.” The final tracks of the 10-song collection were self-produced in Maine at the Halo Studio with engineer Kevin Billingslea. Joe first introduced this new musical chapter in June with the release of “Little Love,” which Daily Reggae applauded by saying, “This is such a beautiful song and another reminder that Samba is one of the best visual songwriters in reggae today.” Tempering a head-nodding bounce with a salsa shake and loose guitar lick, “Meant To Be” is about being on the road and having second thoughts about what you’re doing. Amplifying the energy on the hip-hop leaning track, rapper Wax delivers a head-turning guest spot. Elsewhere on Lifeline is the islandy “Home” featuring guest vocals from Mihali (lead singer/guitarist for Twiddle), “Communicate,” a song that epitomizes relationships with your friends as you grow older, and the robust title track “Lifeline,” a dedication to Joe’s wife and son.

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. All of these vibes and more are on full display on Lifeline, which tells the story of various life changes including becoming a dad, moving, touring life and being away from family, friendships, and more.
