Seattle, USA-based troubadour, Brent Amaker collaborates south of the border for earnest new single, I Need Love.

By Graeme Smith

I Need Love offers a mix of country and Latin influences with plenty of cut in the lyrics. Amaker has a voice that’s unique, and a way of expressing a story that makes it compelling. The simple message of I Need Love stays with you. Meanwhile the Mexican Mariachi musicians add some atmospheric flair.

Brent Amaker has graced our pages in various guises for over five years now, consistently delivering a sound that stands out from the crowd while keeping things interesting. It’s his earnest storytelling that keeps me coming back for more.

His new album, Vaquero, is set for release 12 September 2025 via Rodeo Corp Ltd.

I Need Love is out now and you can give it a listen below.
