I think she/they cant speak about it because they dont even know where this whole AL6 album should go, which direction. Avril wanted a personal one, BMG wanted some upbeat, and maybe it is now a huge MESS. Songs dont fit with each other and the album is like the self titled, just a bunch of songs altogether and it just doesnt feel "complete". They are trying to maybe fit it, Avril is still recording.... I really had enough from this speculations, being in the dark because they just cant say a word. And our ONLY good thing (or for me at least) was the fucking live chat, what she said there, and now it is gone, they want to make in non-existence. NONSENSE. And Avril should know that frm the GL era that being in silence is not always a good thing. Jen and BMG should also know this. Where did you get that from? She wrote that. I mean in 2017 she was saying in the promo vid she made an album without feeling making one. And then she had to go back to the studio making fun upbeat songs to balance the album out. I think its obvious that BMG wanted her to make these songs. At leadt i Think that

And yes, I wouldn't discard the option that it was their idea, but it would be so sad and pathetic if that was the case, AGAIN. What's the point of switching labels if you're going to follow the same path you've done for the last two albums (with other two different labels)? She's definitely got some explaining to do, but I doubt she will ever explain it clearly...

I mean I obvi waiting to be released, but I dont expecting anything from Avril, or Jen, or somebody from her team. And I am sure that Avril/Jen knows we arw waiting and sufferinf, because in the live chat she read a lot of comments like "where is the single/album". I just really dont know why they cant pour clear water in the glass, and at least give us some update what is happeninf, and like how long should we wait? Like weeks, months, another year?

Not gonna lie, when I saw that mic pic I burst out laughing. I doubt there is any issue with Sony. Her contract with Epic was I think for 5 years. She signed with them in late 2011 so 5 years later would be 2016. In March 2017 she officially announced her transfer to BMG. So I don’t think there’s an issue with contracts. The only issue I can see is if she recorded any demos under Epic like all those songs she did in her Home studio with Chad in 2015. I don’t know if they let her take them or maybe she had to buy them back. But that’s not the vibe I’m getting from what is currently happening. I think it’s another GL/AL situation. The original version of AL6 was probably like GL, filled with ballads about her disease and divorce, etc. She or BMG probably thought it was too boring or too much of a downer album or there wasn’t anything hit worthy on it and that’s when she entered the studio with Rotem to make upbeat rock songs. She also said she wanted to have these upbeat songs for live shows. A show full of ballads would put everyone to sleep. I’m definitely thinking the issue here is balance. BMG seemed supportive of Avril’s vision so it’s impossible to know if the album is being reworked because of Avril’s decision or BMG’s. Maybe both. She also said she was trying to make it the best album it can be. Just because she had 25+ songs doesn’t mean they were all strong. An artist on average writes about 30-50, sometimes more, for one album that gets pared down to a dozen. For all we know, this mic pic could just mean she is doing harmonies or some retakes that didn’t come out well, adlibs, etc. It’s not necessarily anything major. We don’t have much information to go by but a lot of you are assuming the worst and jumping to conclusions despite having almost zero info. The only thing I’m confused by is that she said production would probably wrap by November. There’s no reason she should still be recording now, even if it was just adlibs and small parts like that. The only thing I can think is maybe they decided to release a deluxe edition with some acoustic versions and she’s recording those or she could be recording something for an entirely different project, like a movie soundtrack (it’s already been confirmed she’s not part of 50 Shades btw) or another artist’s song. We. Don’t. Know. All I hope is that she isn’t 2 months behind now and still recording main vocals. This album will seriously never get released if she’s STILL recording, even though production was supposed to wrap last year. I have the feeling this album won’t be out until at least summer at this rate. They probably deleted the FB live because clearly what Avril said in it is no longer true and they probably didn’t want anyone new watching it and thinking what she said was still true, or they didn’t want fans bitching at them for “lying.” No one will forget what she said, but I can understand removing it if what she said is basically moot at this point.

I just really dont know why they cant pour clear water in the glass, and at least give us some update what is happeninf, and like how long should we wait? Like weeks, months, another year? She has given us updates before like when she said production would wrap in November and clearly that didn’t happen. They should just keep silent until it’s truly finished and give a release date because literally every time she says she’s almost done there’s another delay. So an update from her would be pretty pointless IMO. I think some people are taking this album a little too seriously. They aren’t communicating well or doing what they said they would do and I get losing patience, but we aren’t “suffering.” Some people have built up these expectations in their mind that Avril never confirmed like the single should be out by Feb/March, she should be on the 50 Shades soundtrack, etc. And when it doesn’t happen they get pissed like it’s her fault. The lower your expectations are and the less you care, the happier you’ll be. I stopped caring about this album ages ago and I jut keep checking to see if there’s finally any news and while I’m disappointed about another mic pic, I mean... life goes on. This doesn’t ruin my whole day or make me want to stop being her fan or something lol I think some people just need to calm down a bit, it’s an album. And it’ll come whenever it comes. There isn’t anything we can do to make it come faster.

That mic pic is both funny and annoying. If she's back in the studio again....I give up lol. If she's just recording acoustic versions of songs she could have said that along with the mic pic lol. We know she's not clueless about what people are saying because she's alluded to it in her posts before....she must really not care lol. She needs someone on her team to say ok Avril that's enough songs now lets put the record out.

I’m thinking for quite some time, that she maybe has some huge lawsuit and lawyer battles with Sony going on. Did you guys never think how she got out of her articled contract ? I’m pretty sure she write a lot of the songs were she was still under Sony, maybe she did not expect how much trouble it would cost to switch the label when she was still under contract. I’m thinking she was a little naive about that. Only my opinion.🤗 If so, she might be with Epic, not Sony

I generally agree with the statement that there will always be someone who will not be content with how Avril handles her social media. They either complain about the lack of information or how it's very vague most of the time. But she really shouldn't post studio pics anymore without giving a brief statement of the current situation she's in. Fans will probably start complaining how she's not giving us any relevant information but that's miles better than the constant letdowns with what she's currently doing. Since she's still recording, there's no final track list, which could mean no album photo shoot was done yet, no promo plan. The album is not coming out before Spring at least. Her official web page has to be updated too, what will probably happen when the album shooting is done. We should all just cool down and wait for official news.

We don't know anything and that really hasn't changed since the first and the only one real statement they gave. Knowing she's always been coming back to writing/recording a day after posting a quote like "follow your intiution", we may assume she isn't happy. The point is, without a strict deadline she will never ever be ready.
