Anthony Smith

“Love Is Love Is Love”

Krankit Records/Nine North

On Sunshine, Anthony Smith’s forthcoming first album for his own Krankit Records, the singer-songwriter comes on fun, funky and strong. Co-produced by Smith and veteran hit maker James Stroud with Bobby Terry lending additional production assistance, Sunshine features his latest release to country radio “Love Is Love Is Love.” The single is already climbing MusicRow’s CountryBreakout Chart at No. 75.

“I’m just being me,” says Smith about his unique style of country. “I have never tried to sound like anyone else. I have always wanted to be me, musically. I’m doing the kind of music I love in the only way I know how.”

In addition to being a seasoned performer, Smith is also a veteran songwriter whose songs have been recorded by a who’s who of Nashville superstars, including George Strait (“Run”), Montgomery Gentry (“Whattaya Think About That?”), Tim McGraw (“Kill Myself,” “Kristofferson”), Trace Adkins (“Chrome,” “I’m Tryin'”) and many more. That skill with the pen went into Sunshine as well, which features all original Smith compositions save for one.

“I like getting a reaction,” he says. “My music isn’t the kind you sit and passively listen to. It’s going to make you move, and it’s going to make you react and feel something. I want an emotional response – whether it’s good or bad or romantic.”
