Avril Lavigne Finally Grows Up
By Allie | July 28, 2009
Get ready to hear a softer side of Avril Lavigne.
The Canadian pop singer says that she’s taking a more serious, stripped-down approach to her fourth studio album, tentatively slated for a November release on RCA.
“A lot of the songs are mainly the acoustic and my vocal. It’s a lot different from anything I’ve done before. It’s not a pop rock record. This is more about emotion and feeling.”
Lavigne’s husband (and Sum 41 frontman) Deryck Whibley produced eight of the album’s projected 12 tracks, half of which she says were were written by her alone. On the other half, she’s been working with former bandmate Evan Taubenfield and songwriter/producer Butch Walker, who co-penned her 2004 single “My Happy Ending.”
“I’m kind of just keeping it in the family with all of my close friends,” says Lavigne, whose last album, 2007’s “The Best Damn Thing,” has sold 1.6 million copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.
“I started this record off really slow, just writing songs at home on my piano. I didn’t work with a ton of people this time.”
Though the album’s first single hasn’t been confirmed, the 25-year-old says it could “possibly” be a song that emerged from the TV commercial for her new “Black Star” fragrance, which will also launch in the U.S. this fall.
