I'm not really a big fan of them, but the songs I've heard from them are good so far (Ride, Heathens and Stressed Out).

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.

Lately, I've been very obsessed with Melanie Martinez and her music. You've probably heard about her. Last year, she released her debut album "Cry Baby" which is about a character with the same name. Here are some of my favourite songs from her;

I wasn't a fan between the TBDT and GL era, so I can't really say if this gap is worse or better than the previous one. So far, it's not unbearable for me at all. I have other artists to listen to besides Avril and a lot of stuff hapening that has kept me distracted from the fact that we've been waiting for almost 4 years for a new album.During the first two years, I was longing for new music and eagerly anticipating the release of anything new from her, but over the past year I've become less eager and more patient with the long wait.

I'd like to go to one of her concerts, if she comes to my country while on tour. But that depends on many factors (i.e. setlist etc.).

I love the part in the bridge where she sings "Get back on my feet again" and "Is it pretend?" Me too. This part is my favorite part of the whole song. I absolutely love how her voice becomes lower when singing those lyrics.

For some odd reason, even though at first I heavily disliked it, I always get goosebumps now everytime I hear "Alice". It brings soo many memories and every time she sings "I found myself in wonderland..." - from that part onwards - I get goosebumps.

No. Despite her making amazing catchy music, she hasn't made any "masterpieces" and that's okay. Her music cannot be compared in my opinion with the music of anyone who could be considered in my opinion a music genius.

Personally, I think that in addition to what has been said, the problem also lies in the fact that the items just look lazy. There is no creativity whatsoever. They look as if they were made out of pure boredom, as if she felt forced to do them or had run out of ideas and she started designing clothes that looked more like poor quality tour merch for little kids.

To my knowledge she hasn't had surgery but maybe she did and didn't tell anyone. I'm not so sure she looks "different," maybe just older. She's also gotten extremely fit within the last couple years and maybe she lost weight in her face, which could be why it looks different? I downloaded the new single this morning, gave it a listen, and yeah it's ok but nothing special IMO. She used to have great songs like from the Oops and Britney eras, but now I just feel like her newer songs aren't that great (Hold It Against Me, Work Bitch, I did like Pretty Girls though). They don't hold a candle to Stronger, Oops, Slave 4 U, Overprotected... If they're gonna make her continue the pop princess route they need to give her better material than this. This is just generic and throwing a rapper in? Gee how original and creative She looks great on the single cover but she also looks like she is trying to be 18 again. I gave it a listen as well. It's - just like you say - a merely ok song. Nothing special, or unpredictable. As for it being uncreative as well as unoriginal, due to throwing a rapper in, well, a lot of songs have had a rapper thrown in. From some older songs to what's mainstream today. Yes, it is not the most creative or original thing to do. But I don't think it's the act of throwing a rapper in the song and as a result, having a song that is not creative or original due to that aspect that that's the problem. It is not just having the rapper thrown in that makes it sound kind of uncreative. It is the entire song, its theme as well as its production. Even them are not something creative or original. It's like they want to bring her old image back to life in order for bher to become as popular as she was back in the early to mid 2000s again. However, I disagree with what you say about her newer songs being not that great. There is a lot of newer stuff from her that is great in my opinion. Of course, none of her newer music holds a candle to her older stuff. But she still has some good music, which is more current. Just not as good as some of her stuff back in the 2000s.

This thread is such a great idea, since there are so many Avril fans out there who are fans of The Pretty Reckless as well and now there's finally a place to discuss solely about The Pretty Reckless, their music, discography and so on.
"Take Me Down" is very good. Clearly not something I was expecting from them (was expecting a heavier lead single for this record, something like "Going To Hell" for some reason), but I have to say that either way it's totally awesome. I'd like it to have a little bit more guitar in it, to be a little bit more heavy. But still, I'm incredibly satisfied with the result. It's a very catchy song and it has some kind of carefree vibe about it that I really love. Can't wait to see what this album - that they are going to release - will sound like. I'm pretty curious for this record.
