Lonely Are the Brave is the debut studio album by English-Irish singer and rapper Maverick Sabre.

"[6] Digital Spy gave the album 4 stars out of 5 stars - "But while his voice may sound part-Amy Winehouse, part-Daniel Merriweather, few could accuse him of leaning on others [...] his first collection of self-penned tracks is both brutally opinionated and unnervingly honest.

"[7] "Let Me Go" was first released in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2011 as the lead single from Lonely Are the Brave.

[10][11] The track was succeeded by "I Need", first released as the second single from Lonely Are the Brave on 4 November 2011.

"I Need" debuted at number eighteen on the UK chart,[12] Sabre's second consecutive release to achieve this feat, also peaking at number thirty-two on the Irish chart and number twenty-four on the Scottish chart - higher than the peak of the previous release.
