MUSIC NEWS: Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts Release Reimagined Ballad Version Of ‘Little Renegade’
Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts have released a reimagined ballad version of Little Renegade. The original version appears on their 2024 album Rogue To Redemption.
“I posted a minute-long snippet online of me sitting at the piano doing a version of Little Renegade, and I got so many messages from people telling me they would love to hear a full version,” says Smith. “So I thought it would be a cool project, and maybe a bit of a challenge to strip it back and re-imagine it.
“This is the first song I’ve ever done without a single guitar track on it. I used my old 70s upright piano and an analog synth from the early 80s for this. Then I took some real drums from another recording session and built loops and ended up having a lot of fun with this one. It’s got elements of a 70s piano ballad, an 80s pop banger, with a little more modern production with an orchestral feel.”
Rogue To Redemption is out now via Gypsy Rose Records, available to stream HERE or purchase HERE.
