Bulletproof
"Barrel of MonkeysOpen in new Window.
Day 10






"Bulletproof"
by Nate Smith feat. Avril Lavigne
from California Gold (unreleased)


For my last "Barrel of MonkeysOpen in new Window. entry this month, I'm actually choosing a song that features Avril Lavigne, rather than a song from one of her albums. Nate Smith is a country artist I just discovered this year when his song "World of Fire" popped up in my Spotify recommendations playlist. That song was the second single off his self-titled debut album and his first with a major label. This song is the first single off his forthcoming second studio album, California Gold (release date TBD) and I included it because I was blown away with how well Avril Lavigne's voice seems to fit with this style of country song.

After two decades of listening to her power ballads and pop-punk-rock anthems, I'm convinced that we need a country album from Avril Lavigne. This collaboration with Nate Smith is great, and I think it would be a fun side project for her to tackle that would surprise people. This is definitely one of my favorite country music discoveries this year (along with Nate Smith in general).

This has been a really fun blogging challenge this year, and it's gotten me excited about "The Soundtrackers GroupOpen in new Window. Fall/Winter setlist with "Resurrection JukeboxOpen in new Window. coming up in October and "12 Days of "Christmas"Open in new Window. following not far behind once December rolls around. See you all then!
