«Gonna Need My Love» was released May 28, 2021 on all DSPs and was produced and engineered by Shawn McGhee (Drowning Pool). The sultry, edgy, and bluesy rock-driven pop song showcases Hoyt’s signature, soulful voice and elegant piano playing, while McGhee – who also lent his guitar and bass skills – and drummer Charlie Nicholson drive the tune’s melodic, sing-songsy choruses.
«As my first official single, ‘Gonna Need My Love’ truly represents who I am as an artist», said Hoyt to me. «When Keith first approached me about writing a song for me, I was beyond humbled. He said he was a fan of mine and wanted to create something that really highlighted my voice. The entire project was taken to a whole new level when Shawn wanted to produce it. I am thrilled with the way it turned out».
