I think she said the next album will be more country rock. I'm really interested in the new music she gonna be putting out I only hope that whatever these "country rock" songs are that she's doing are not bro-country like Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt type stuff. She mentioned she listens to Sam Hunt every day. My thoughts exactly Bo. I mean the chances of there being beer and party references in the songs are high but that's all I could take. I don't think country rock fits her and I'm sure she might be exaggerating with the rock part. If she does end up sounding country rock I at least hope she takes some cues from Miranda Lambert instead. Somethin' Bad or Locomotive for example. Or if she wants to sing about partying then Southbound by Carrie Underwood. My original vision for her was that she was going to do more songs like Souvenir, involving storytelling. A country version of Complicated/MHE or lyrical content like in My World. Now I don't know what to expect from her.

I would be cool with country rock stuff like "Life is a Highway" or Creedence Clearwater Revival (think long ago she mentioned she used to listen to them?) That's more like southern rock or swamp rock. But yeah usually her definition of what qualifies as "rock" is pretty liberal, so I would take that with a grain of salt. I literally think I remember her describing songs like WTH, RNR, and HTNGU as rock songs lmfao

I like to think she’d go a Kacey Musgraves/Kelsea Ballerini/ maybe even new-Maddie & Tae route but she is very unpredictable. I’m not expecting her to come out with any proper country songs.

My dream is that she links up with Hillary Lindsey. Shakira and Lady Gaga were able to get her so I hope Avril does too. So far, I think we can only confirm that she wrote some of these with Chad.

And self-written for now too, or maybe Pete is co-writing. I wonder if she has done any writing sessions virtually like a lot of artists are doing.

It's hard to understand what Avril means by "country rock". To me country rock is that of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eagles, Bob Dylan etc ... it would be interesting, I would love it, but I don't know how much that "rock" by her can be taken seriously. It's more likely she will end up doing something "softer" like Dixie Chicks, Miranda Lambert or Ingrid Andress.

I'd love for AL7 to be more rock sounding. I really hope it is. I think Avril could pull off songs like this (yeah I know it's japanese ): I really like this kind of fresh pop-rock sounds! I think modern j-rock/punk/pop & even lofi could work for her (in english, of course). Avril has always been kind of a weeb-y friendly artist. Also for a more modern The Best Damn Thing type of songs, I think this one is nice too:

It sounds so japanese lol. Not just because of the language, but the rythm, the speed on the verses, the melodies, the instrumental, everything screems japanese, don't get me wrong, i like the song, but with how lucky Avril is, she would probably be accused of cultural appropiation at that point xD LOL
I also like the second song, it sounds a bit more like Avril. Both are a bit "indie". But i agree it would be interesting to see her doing something like that. I wish she would work with Taka from One Ok Rock. Or with Kenshi Yonezu, or Radwimps, agh... probably never. (it would be weird too i guess xD)

I'd also love to have some more rock back. But I guess I'll just wait. I do always find songs I fall in love with on every album even if I have to listen to them tons of times before I realize, lol. Same wit the songs I don't like so... But rock would be good, yes!

Her "Me, RACIST?LOLOLOL!!!" is still iconic. So I don't think it's gonna be a huge issue even if the world is getting more SJW'd. + We need some buzz to promote AL7. Talking about One Ok Rock, Listen was a great song! Would love more collabs in the future!

I don't really care what kind of music she does as long as the songs are good. The genre shouldn't matter. She could make rock songs and they could sound like absolute crap. I've never got the fascination with her doing "rock" music, I guess it's because a lot of her fans are rock fans but IMO it's such an overrated genre. I don't get the fascination with her doing it on every record. Sure, she's made great pop/rock and pop/punk songs on all her albums, I wouldn't mind if she did more stuff like that, but I'm not clamoring for her to do it either. I'd really love to hear more stuff like TMIO and Crush, but I realize that's probably a pretty unpopular opinion. I'm also really curious to hear these "country rock" songs.

Rock is probably my favourite genre alongside country but tbh I’m kind of done with it from Avril. Her version of a rock song the last few albums isn’t anywhere near the standard of her old stuff, it just doesn’t suit her anymore as she’s got older. I’d much, much prefer more TMIO/Crush style songs. But I am very interested to hear the country stuff if we ever do.

I'm curious about the country stuff and I would love more TMIO/Crush stuff too. If her poprock stuff was the quality of her early albums then fine but since rock has been dead in the mainstream for so long and no one knows what rock sounds like anymore everyone produces it so watered down now and thinks it's really heavy sounding so if she's going to do that then it's a big no for me
