In May we discovered that Avril Lavigne is already writing new songs. Even though her self-titled 5th album came out only last November and she is currently touring in support of it, that hasn’t stopped her from crafting more tunes. She confirmed in June that she’s been writing these new songs alone.
Now we have more info on Avril’s new songs: In an interview with In Rock Magazine, Avril revealed that the songs she was writing while in Brazil are less pop than the music she’s known for. Will Avril’s next album go in a new direction?
Avril’s last two albums have been inconsistent and confused in their musical style. Avril probably knows what she wants: Less pop, more singer-songwriter/rock/acoustic. But her label wants her to repeat the success of “Girlfriend” over and over, and demands pop songs that she ultimately isn’t interested in.
Hopefully Avril Lavigne’s next album will be exactly how she wants it, and represent the sound and style that she has in mind. We’re excited to hear her “less pop” songs. If they’re anything like the more latter half of Avril Lavigne, they will be amazing.
