I hope the album won't get delayed again like the last 2 albums. I hope maybe they will release a single around April which is when Charming is due to be released followed by the album in June or sometime in the summer. Think that would be a perfect timeframe. And I'm so happy she says that her battle with Lyme disease will be reflected in her new music. Please no more WTHs or HTNGUs, I'm ready for songs with substance. don't get too excited.. there's always gonna be at least one.. Not necessarily. The first few albums had upbeat songs but they weren't cheap "let's go party" type songs. I'm sure there'll be some upbeat tracks but upbeat can have substance, too, so I hope they're more along those lines than another party type song.

It is one of Sony Music's three flagship record labels alongside RCA Records and Epic Records. What can only mean that in the UK Avril's music goes under Columbia. We still don't know what's her major in the US.

I guess this is exciting, I mean, we already kind of knew that an album was going to be released next year, or at least we could assume that. It's nice to have a confirmation , but I was honestly expecting a single release date yesterday, not an announcement about an album that could come out in December 2017 for all we know. Since she's not with Epic any more, I'm curious to know if she's already signed with another label and is keeping that behind closed doors until she announces her single , or if she's going to record most of the album independently and then sign with a label. Is it too farchetched to think we could be getting a single as soon as January?

The music industries attitude towards promotion has changed drastically and it's been to the demise of Avril as her management haven't kept up with the practices used today. They are still working by the promotional tactics used prior a digital / download/ right here right now age and hopefully with this album they are going to start!
An early 2017 release would be perfect, most major female pop stars either released their albums in 2016 or are due late 2017. Even with low sales she still has the chance to gain high chart entries, which is what she needs to get her back on the map.
So with this Instagram post, it should be the beginning of the promotion to an album out soon and not in November. If so, she has shot herself in the foot for a third time.

I feel like, by announcing it now, things must be fairly far along and they must have some kind of idea how long it will take to release. I'm hoping for a new album in the first half of the year. She has Charming coming up in April so I imagine a single will be just before or just after that

This exciting news Can't wait to see what direction she takes musically what the new music sounds like She's probably now left Epic and she's only with Columbia records, since neither I can find her on Epic. Hopefully, they'll understand her artistic vision and let her make the music she really wants there.

Avril usually keeps mum about stuff like this until she's absolutely sure it's set in stone. And considering what happened with the last 2 albums where she kept saying it would be out on this date and then had to take it back, I think she would be careful this time and wouldn't have said anything if she wasn't confident the album would be released sometime next year.
We do have some info of people she has worked with so far: Chad, Zane Carney, and the lead singer of We the Kings (his name is Travis something). This is not including songs she may be writing or producing by herself or leftover tracks from previous albums. She started writing songs back in 2014/2015 when she was sick and recording in her home studio. Back then we weren't sure if she was just doing it for fun, demo stage, or whatever, but it sounds like she is pretty far along by now, hence why she felt comfortable enough to come out with an announcement.
I don't put any stock in the Columbia thing. That could just mean that's the label that distributes her albums in the U.K. I feel like Epic or LA would have RT'd Avril's message if she was still on their label.
There is clearly a plan with the timing of all this. Attached herself to a headline in the media just before making an important announcement. One OK Rock feature coming in January. New collection of AD coming sometime soon. Charming movie coming in April, so Trophy Boy may come a bit sooner than that. Perfect timeframe probably for her to release the first single to piggyback off of the hype around Trophy Boy/Charming. Followed by album in summer or early fall at the latest provided there are no delays or sent back to the studio BS.
It's unclear at the moment what their plans are for promo and tours. She seems like she is recovered from Lyme disease but who knows if she has the strength to travel all over and have such a busy schedule with little sleep, etc. To be perfectly honest I would be happy just with a new album if that's all she felt up for doing, maybe with a few TV performances and interviews here and there. I'm not expecting it to be like her past eras. I'm not even expecting a tour at all or at least not until probably 2018. And it may be a small tour limited to mostly Asia. Considering she skipped the US on BST and was just an opener on AL Tour and skipped Europe and had only 1 show in Canada, I don't think she's able to do big tours anymore. If she were to tour again, they at least need to give her smaller venues in the places where her popularity has declined. But who knows if she is healthy enough to do a big tour like that. Like I said, I'll be happy just getting a new album, provided it's really good. The rest if it even happens is just a bonus.

My question is, why this announcement is NOT on her Facebook? (no, it's not that she doesn't like Mark anymore) I really hope she's some of the dates set and she will be able to use the Charming promotion to promote also her new music. I was always saying that combaining these two would be a perfect move for her but this announcement is on the one hand a great confirmation of something we knew for a long time, and on the other it's like giving us a huge hope with (at least for now) nothing on the table. I wasn't assuming she'd premiere a new single on Christmas Day but I am really hoping she won't stay quiet about this first single off this album till summer.

Everybody was spending Christmas with their families yesterday. I kind of think Av runs her own Twitter, IG, and Snap for the most part but I get the feeling she doesn't do FB and that someone else updates it.

Facebook(Mark) owns instagram also, so if she would dislike him so much, she would stop using instagram, her facebook posts always come later than the instagram one's, it happened before they were posted on fb 2 days later.

Whatever her label situation is, I hope she gets to keep her VEVO account. She has 6 million subscribers there, that's just to much to Let It Go. She will lose her VEVO account in case she goes independent and doesn't have some kind of distribution deal with Sony or Universal. But if not with Epic she is probably still bonded with Sony because no one sign a one album deal...
