A single from Tom Tikka & The Missing Hubcaps and The Star Prairie Project, “California Smile” represents the first of two collaborative singles from the artists. “It’s a song about a guy from California, obviously, but it’s also a song about meeting that special person you settle down with,” Tikka explains, emphasizing the power of that unmatched moment. Tikka teams up with Nolen Chew Jr. of The Star Prairie Project for a memorable result, one that captures the power of love alongside a sturdy Americana styling.
