Tuka, one-third of acclaimed Australian trio Thundamentals, today shares the video for Wish I Knew – the first single to be lifted from his forthcoming solo album Nothing In Common But Us – set for release on July 31 and available to pre-order now.
The vivid, hallucinogenic visuals for Wish I Knew are directed by the all-female Australian collective Femme.TV and features animation from acclaimed artist Serwah Attafuah. Seamlessly transitioning from real life to fantasy, from socially-distanced club to Tuka’s harbourside performance shots, the Wish I Knew video perfectly encapsulates the driving electronica and pop energy of his vibrant new single.

Wish I Knew was written with The Presets Julian Hamilton and produced by JONCE. Widely known for his melodic and heartfelt hip-hop songwriting, Wish I Knew finds Tuka applying his strengths to an enormous deep house influenced soundscape, complete with one of the catchiest hooks of his career – “I just wanna be around you” – creating a tone that that is both satisfyingly nostalgic and strangely of the times.
Directors Natasha Foster and Erin Fairs said – “When we got the track for “Wish I Knew” we immediately thought it was a good opportunity to get our hyper-colour femme bot world happening that we’d been scheming. We worked very closely with Serwah to design our femme-bot character based on a real life girl – everything was the same, down to the design on her nails which we had custom hand painted for the shoot. We love creating unreal/fashion/colour worlds like this and hope you enjoy!”
Having consistently built a reputation for dynamism as a songwriter and performer over the past decade, Tuka now prepares to enter a new creative phase – one marked by some of his most open and ambitious work yet. It is a phase that Tuka emerges energised, ready to invite his core fanbase and newcomers alike to witness a new element of his artistry – his brand new album Nothing In Common But Us.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
