I fell in love with the devil. (who's the "devil" by the way? from what we've seen, at most, they were imps, degrading to goblins lately. ) Dumb Blonde. (I mean, seriously, is it a self irony? it looks interesting, when a blonde chick calls her song that. wouldn't it be yet another song, that supposedly "isn't meaningful to me", but with the time, turning out to be a representative one. like was with OOTG and GF?) The lyrics form the leaked press release show it's about how people prejudge and underestimate her because of her appearence. It's about not wanting to be stereotyped

I love the concept for the album cover, and I predicted it months ago, which is so Raven of me. The editing is terrible though! They need to fire whoever is in charge of editing her pictures.
I think, from the titles, which is not a lot of info, that we're getting less filler tracks this time. Glad she scrapped the Baby Rex track tbh. Sue me. 12 tracks isn't a bad thing, it's the perfect lenght imo. I highly doubt there will be an EP, she's an album artist.
My guess is that Dumb Blonde and Bigger Wow are the teen pop summer "hits", and the rest of the album is her original vision. Who_knows.mp3 I also think it's an album for the fans, it's not an ambitious pop record meant to be a huge smash and to dethrone the current trend of rap/urban/trap/whatever; it's a gift to us, and a celebration after almost fucking dying. I am happy and when it comes out, I'll tell you which songs I love, and which ones I don't.

I guess it's a coincidence, but the similarity between the two is shady. On the other hand, I really like the cover of the album, in black and white, raw and with a lot of feeling, which is what Avril knows best. And well, wishing to hear on Wednesday "Tell me it's over" Attachments:

Lol I love Shakira too (she has been my savior in this Avril drought). Similar styles but still very different.
Notice how Avril took a darker turn with her cover. Maybe because it deals with her health which was not always good days.

As a funny sidenote, how would she even have her head under water in that picture? Kinda hard to drown in that puddle she's in, unless she somehow falls asleep face-first. Is that why she was asking God not to fall asleep?

I'm speechless! Everything turned out to be different from what I thought. Album cover called "Head above water" has Avril sitting on the water. No dress, only her naked body and a guitar. I was like WTH at the very beginning but then I started to think about the symbolism behind it and it kinda makes sense to me. Now I can say I like the cover. It doesn't kill me but I like it more than AL5 Cover. I learnt not to judge an album for its cover so it may be an amazing album. I won't judge the song titles, I will wait until I can listen to each of them and let them grow on me little by little. 12 tracks is ok to me. under my sking has 12 tracks too and its a fan favourite by far (I'm not generalizing). I'm really curious about the vibe of the songs and how they make the whole album. Now #TellMeItsOver is what I'm waiting for so....Only thing I can say is that I'm really glad she finally is back after all these years and that she's able to make music and to express her heart and soul after what's she's been through struggling such an illness like Lyme Disease.

Now it is actually happening. Its not a dream. The wait is closing up. We will so soon have album to hold and to listen to. A booklet to look through. Lyrics to memorize. New songs to jam to. Music videos to watch. Melodies to get stuck in your head. More songs to analyse and disect. A journey has just ended. A new one just began.
I dont care if i hate or love the album art. Cause the feeling I've got from seeing it... The notification... I never been more anxious to be over with xmas and for february to come.

I really like the idea of the cover but it was bad edited and the guitar makes no sense when the songs are piano driven, this fits more GL. The cover would look beautiful with a better photoshop

I'm not a photoshop expert,but to me it's a truly ispirational, meaningful cover that relates to her experience.

Omg..the cover editing..is beyond horrible.... reflection... awful.... editing signs all-over her leg...this picture from the middle down...(half picture) needs to be heavily redone.... I do photoshop and graphic design....my eyes are bleeding.... eternally.
Wtf....her team seems blind.
I am too negative i know...but she can not sell albums with that cover...
