Tuk\u2019s debut album,\u00a0<em>Lookin\u2019 for Love, Ready for War,<\/em>showcases the versatility of his songwriting. From instantly infectious anthems to intricately arranged rockers and\u00a0\u00a0Americana-tinged ballads the album favors dedication over debauchery. In many ways it\u2019s a musical homecoming for Smith that shows that though he\u2019s covered with battle scars from perfecting his craft, he\u2019s come out on the other side with an amazing collection of songs.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by the legendary Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Eric Clapton, My Chemical Romance) explains\u00a0\u201cPeople that really like honest-to-god Rock and Roll &#8211; this is the kind of stuff they\u2019ll love.\u00a0\u00a0If you are a Tom Petty fan or aBruce Springsteen fan, if you like really great old-fashioned American Rock and Roll then I believe you\u2019ll like Tuk\u2019s music because it\u2019s cut from that same cloth.\u00a0It\u2019s original and it is it\u2019s own thing, I think he\u2019s the real deal!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWhat Kinda Love,\u201d is an instantly infectious anthem that unifies Tuk\u2019s love of rock, punk and glam into a unique amalgam of what\u2019s missing from today\u2019s musical landscape. \u201cWhat Kinda Love\u201d has Joan-Jett-meets-John Mellencamp grandeur and is part of a collection of songs that are a testament to the fact that you don\u2019t need to follow trends in order to create art that fosters a connection with your audience.<\/p>\n<p>Tuk produced and wrote the video, of which he explains \u201cI think when people first hear the song they might not get its\u00a0meaning right away. I wanted to create a narrative in the video that helped complement the lyrics. Having full creative vision as\u00a0an artist is as rewarding as it is daunting. If something doesn\u2019t pan out right there is no one to blame but yourself, but\u00a0it\u2019s the best feeling\u00a0when your vision becomes reality. I had so many close\u00a0friends and family act, be extras, and work\u00a0on videos with me.
