Simple Plan – Jet Lag feat. Natasha Bedingfield

Having been following Simple Plan since the band’s 2002 debut ‘No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls’, I was extremely impressed when I first heard the band’s ‘Jet Lag’ single which features guest vocals from Natasha Bedingfield. There’s a very big sound about this single, Natasha Bedingfield’s vocals sit well in the song, but for me it is Simple Plan’s own Pierre Bouvier that really steals the show here. Bouvier’s vocals really do pack a mighty punch with this single, and as has always been the case with the music of Simple Plan, it is he that makes ‘Jet Lag’ so special. Instrumentally the music most certainly has much to offer, vocally though the sound is absolutely sensational here.

Jet Lag’ comes complete with an incredibly punchy chorus that we’ve come to expect from Simple Plan over the years; after only a couple of listens you find yourself really singing along to the song, already knowing absolutely every word. Simple Plan’sJet Lag’ sounds like it was 100% made for the top 40, it sounds like a summer anthem, and it’s not at all surprising that the single has already enjoyed success in several countries around the world.

When the band released its self-titled album back in 2008 there were several tracks that I found myself unable to stop listening to, ‘Jet Lag’ has had the very same effect on me and is a track that I can see myself listening to heavily for many months to come.

As a big fan of pop punk I’ve always had quite a soft spot for Simple Plan, more often than not their singles really seem to hit the spot, and this is most certainly the case with ‘Jet Lag’. If you’re a fan of pop punk or have ever heard and liked a Simple Plan track in the past then I’d most definitely recommend listening to ‘Jet Lag’ as this is not a track that is likely to leave you disappointed.
