{August 23, 2024 – Nashville, TN} – On the heels of his record-breaking week, ACM New Male Artist of the Year Nate Smith announces his highly anticipated sophomore album, California Gold will be released on October 4th. California Gold will include brand new track, “Fix What You Didn’t Break,” which features Smith signature raspy vocals and a country pop/rock production (listen here). Pre-order/save California Gold here.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of big epic pop rock songs of the 2000’s,” says Smith of the track. “Bands like Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls, 3 Doors Down were all influences in my early teens. “Fix What You Didn’t Break”, to me, feels like the perfect blend of 2000’s rock and heartfelt country. I want to make love songs that cut deep but are still tough. I teamed up with the same crew that wrote “World On Fire” with me: Ashley Gorley, Lindsay Rimes, Taylor Philips, and myself!! This is easily one of my favorites I’ve released. It will be the first song on my new album out this year. I chose this to come out first because I feel like it really showcases my influences and sonic taste. It’s a bit of a theme song for this new project!! Hope ya love it!”
The 16-track album will include previously released tracks “Wish I Never Felt,” collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Alesso as well as the Music Canada certified Platinum track “Bulletproof,” which this week broke records and scored Smith his 3rd consecutive multi-week No. 1 on the Mediabase chart in the US and which peaked at #3 in Canada. The historic feat marks Smith as the first artist to start their career with three consecutive multi-week No. 1 records in R&R/Media base history. “Bulletproof” follows the record-breaking No. 1 record “World On Fire,” which spent 10 consecutive weeks on top of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart and three weeks on top of the Mediabase chart while his first No. 1 single “Whiskey On You” spent two weeks atop the Mediabase chart and one week on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Smith’s first three singles have spent a combined 14 weeks at No. 1 between the two charts.
Smith is gearing up for his 2024 Through The Smoke headline fall tour. The highly anticipated 16- city headline tour will kick off on September 19th in Portland, OR and end in Nashville, TN on December 5th. Earlier this month, Smith wrapped up touring with Morgan Wallen on his 2024 ONE NIGHT AT A TIME 2024 stadium tour.

About Nate Smith:
Bursting onto the scene a few short years ago, country vocal powerhouse Nate Smith has accumulated over 1.7 billion career streams, scored three No. 1 records (“Whiskey on You,” “World on Fire” and “Bulletproof”), garnered multiple gold and platinum records, sold-out shows across the US and received numerous nominations for best new artist from the ACM Awards, CMT Awards, iHeart Radio Awards and so many more. Most recently, Smith received the award for ACM New Male Artist of the Year, Billboard’s Rookie of the Year and Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist for 2024.
Since making it to Nashville, the singer’s “powerhouse tenor” has become “perhaps country music’s fastest-rising beloved voice” (The Tennessean). He’s made a huge splash with songs such as his platinum-certified multi-week No. 1 hit “Whiskey On You,” has over 500 million streams globally and second single, “World On Fire” reached No. 1 on the country radio charts in December and remained at the top of the charts for a record breaking ten consecutive weeks. This feat marks Smith as the first artist to achieve this run with a second single at country radio and consecutive week run. The song also hit No. 1 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart for three weeks. Only 19 songs went No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in 2023, two of which belong to Smith. Both singles are featured on Smith’s self-titled debut album which debuted Top 10 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart.
The ACM Award winner just wrapped a major stadium tour with Morgan Wallen and has toured alongside Thomas Rhett and Cole Swindell. Nate is managed by Kevin “Chief” Zaruk and Simon Tikhman with The Core Entertainment.
