Based out of Minneapolis in the USA it's James M LaRocque with his slick new cut, "Need You". One thing that got us from the offset was the dreamy guitar tone that sounded like you were back in the 1960s on a beach in sunny California.
... a sun-drenched slice of retro bliss—think 60s California beach vibes wrapped in dreamy guitars and feel-good charm
Vocally, too, the song is very breezy and compliments the upbeat percussion, and especially with those reverb-drenched guitar tones at the breakdown, it just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
"Need You" is the sort of track that you'll find yourself putting on if you need a pick-me-up, so be sure to wrap this around your ears to get around this before everyone else does. It's almost like it's soaked in surfy nostalgia and subtle swagger. LaRocque has really nailed that hazy-daydream-meets-modern-romance kinda vibe.
