mixing process can take up to a year just so you all know πππ Actually, knowing how much time she potentially spent on writing and recording the songs, it would be good if she took at least half of this time to mix and master the album ππ youre right.. it would wouldnt it?

And for Avril is crucial that she separates herelf from her old image. I don't want to hear her sing songs like HTNGU anymore. As much as I love her, partying songs of getting drunk and not caring about anything and not wanting to change. "They say just grow up, but they don't know us", a 33-years-old-two-times-divorced-woman singing that is weird. I don't know. I'm ten years younger and I'm growing up and maturing. Every one is. It's just part of life. You can still have fun and be wild and have a fun song, but a fun mature song. Of course she can sing those kind of songs if she wants to, but fans move on. Sooner or later, they all move on. Under My Skin came out when I was 9/10 years old, I was in fourth grade, primary school. Self-Titled came out when I was in the middle of switching carreers in college. Now I'm a year and a half of graduating from college. As much as I love Avril, I don't feel connected to songs that are about not wanting to grow up or be chased by cops. This might go into unpopular opinion section as far as this fan-community goes, but I disagree. She should put more effort into more serious songs, and they should be more central to the new album(s), but there's no reason for her to abandon her "playful" side, for which she is most known, especially not in times where youthful behaviour is allowed (or even encouraged) to last decades longer than before. I originate from a rather conservative and religious place, where kids were expected to become "grown up" by the time they were 18-19, a thing now unfathomable for a good portion of western youth, which stretches their "young and wild" phase well into their 20's, and increasingly into their thirties. Maybe exactly because I've seen such an environment I am consequentially more against pressuring people into conforming to expected social norms, and I see Avril's "immature" acts as a playful rebellion, that is in some ways even more influential than her initial image. To shorten it all up - she should be aware that she's got more responsibilities than a 15 year old has, but she has no reason to abandon fun and games.

I think she's on vacay relaxing before the big announcement. The album should be done by now. As for why she doesn't release a statement... well she's Avril, we know she's super secretive Hahahah we have said this like a 1000 times before, and it's just not real. Watch her next post being a #tb or a micpic hahaha

To shorten it all up - she should be aware that she's got more responsibilities than a 15 year old has, but she has no reason to abandon fun and games.Β I wholly echo this, both the serious songs and her playful side (very nicely put slapstick βΊ). No one needs to bend to social norms or the expectations of who we 'should' be. The fact that Avril is now in her thirties does mean she has more life experience to write about, she will have different perspectives on things but I can't see her losing her rebellious side (thankfully!), and that's part of the reason I love her and her music -she does exactly what she wants to do and isn't ashamed of it. Maturing and growing up doesn't mean the fun and games stop, you can be in your thirties (and any age) and still have a delightful playful side π. As my friend always says to me "don't grow up, it's a trap!". Personally I enjoy her fun side and 'here's to never growing up' style songs, balanced with other styles and Avril's recent experiences and serious life changing events I'm still really looking forward to AL6 and what she wants the album to be. Even with the delays and soons's... π

Iβm happy to see that others here enjoy her happier playful songs!!! Those are honestly my favorite. Sure Avrilβs struggle with her illness will have a place on AL6, but it would surprise me or bother me if she had happier songs about her life after recovery! This IS Avril weβre talking about here. Sheβs bound to have some βIβll be here for you, stay strongβ type songs on the record too!!

But there are different ways of having fun and for me "mom's not home tonight, so lets roll around and have a pillow fight" its exactly what a 15 years old would say.

She can definitely do fun but more mature - see Who Knows and Freak Out, even 17. The issue is songs like Bitchin Summer, nobody is waiting on the bell Avril, youβre in your thirties..

I'm just saying that *generally* her cheery songs are perfectly fine even if she isn't 18 or 24 any more. I've seen plenty of people (irl and on net) saying that "she's old now, she should quit acting like a girl", "wtf woman you're 30 something, get serious!", and so forth. I don't like such mentality, and the older I became the more I realised that there's too much trouble and sadness in this world for anybody to be upset over another person living differently (and enjoying it) than themselves.

Avril is probably just waiting for that producer to become available so she can start writing for #AL6 π

Everyone gets really inpatient. It's clear that the fandom doesn't know what is happening or what's up with her. So if they wanted this well it's the right time to release something.

What bothers me more than Avril's silence is the lack of some so-called insiders opinion in the media. You know, all this kind of 'we know something but we cannot tell you' stories that go with all important releases these days.
