Demo of the Week: “Bridges Don’t Burn”
Writers: Lori McKenna, Caitlyn Smith, Troy Verges
Vibe: Vibrant/defeated, smooth/hostile, sultry/vivacious
Key lyrics: “I tried kerosene and gasoline and a whole damn box of matches / I tried dynamite and TNT just praying for ashes / some bridges don’t burn”
Could be a good fit for: Tori Kelly, Kree Harrison, Lucie Silvas, Margo Price, Randy Houser
X factor: The potential dualities of the vocal performance combined with a fresh take on burned bridges make this song multitudinously compelling
