Yeah, she said this year, but it means nothing. Like really, nothing. It would be so great to have an album this year, but I am not that excited tbh and I feel a bit bad because so much of you are so really hyped, but I just... I'm not. I just know how it goes when it comes to her releasing albums. She goes back as she has some new ideas (or who knows why) and most of the times her original visions are almost completely scrapped. GL, AL, HAW. What we get is no consistency, no energy, no passion for the songs. Sorry for the negativity. I am not trying to drag anyone down. I'm just standing on earth and leaning on my experiences (from the last 12 years). On the other hand I do care about her releasing music and I'm waiting for it, that's why I'm here. But I'm not letting my expectations high anymore. these are all really good points, sadly

I wonder when or if she'll tell us in what stage of the recording process she is currently in. Like before the hype, her social media promises mean very little to me. I do get excited but mostly because you guys' energy is infectious Yes, just seeing all the chitter chatter is half the fun, even if it is full of folks getting annoyed by Avril's "Yaaas coming s**n!" snaps, hehe . I am waiting for her album with curiosity. I know what roughly to expect of her, and that is some nice, fun and catchy little songs, and plenty of interesting photoshoot pictures. It may sound silly, but after such a nightmare of a year, every smallest nice thing and moment feels that much rarer and hence valuable.

That song is surprisingly very pop considering how gothic her image is.

I really hope we only get 1-2 singles max before album release, cause by then we’ve already heard like 1/4 of the album. I’d like to have as many new songs to listen to as possible. She could always release a stand-alone single that came from their sessions but won’t be on the album. I agree. I remember MGK released 4 awesome singles and then the rest of the album dropped (11 new songs) and I was very disappointed. Until now, I am just getting into 2 other album tracks and have yet to listen to the deluxe version. I don't want the same to happen to Avril. Even if she's my fave and I am most likely to enjoy her music anyways. But with her trajectory of making half ass efforts on her albums I rather not risk it. 1-2 singles is cool with me. Like how Selena Gomez and Harry Styles released their albums very fast after their first singles in late 2019.

I don't understand releasing 4 singles before the album because then the album coming out is like the end of the era. Where do you go after? There's the tour but most fans aren't going to see the tour and those that do is usually one show.

And I'm getting hyped because of ModSun to be honest, I started following him on Twitter, Insta and FaceBook so he has a lot of videos. I've let myself get hyped up and I'm also around since Complicated but hey, I like it. I love all the new pictures, little videos and TikTok's. We'll see.

There's the tour but most fans aren't going to see the tour and those that do is usually one show. Well yeah, but then the wait between the album release and the next era is longer too. If you release 3-4 singles before the album you are literally extending the hype to last the maximum possible amount of time. and that's good in terms of marketing and also for the fandom to not be overwhelmed with 11 new songs. I understand were you all guys are coming from but I'm also thinking about how easily we got bored. Haw is literally dead to most of us and it did had 3 singles before the album (maybe only 2 cause DB was realesed like 2 days after) but you get the point. I love full albums and I love having a lot of new things to check out like 11 new songs for instance. But at the same time I also love the pre-eras or let's say the time before the album gets released. The excitement of what's next and the waiting, the hype basically. And if you give me just little by little you are literally giving me dopamine every month during 3-4-5 months instead of diving me a christmas dinner that will make me full and will end up wanting to puke bc I ate too much. That was not the best analogy xD but i'm trying to make a point here xD As I said, we need dopamine basically every day and quickly. If the dopamine stops then what? waiting 3 years again? Plus 4 songs it's not that big of a deal TO ME. it's like, we'll get 8-9 new songs anyways. It would be a good deal for me just to keep me hyped rather than get bored of the new era in like a month. But as i said, i understand you guys, so that's toally ok too. Let's see what happens and what she does. Maybe she'll retire after Falmes lol xD (I'm so good at picturing the worst scenarios, aren't I? xD)

I don’t know if that strategy works that well these days though. People want stuff NOW, not putting out 3-4 singles and then 6 months later we finally get the album. Only her most dedicated fans would have the patience for that, meanwhile the GP will have long forgotten about it by the time it gets released. I’d be fine with 1-2 singles followed by no more than a 2 month wait for the album. I remember Miley announcing Plastic Hearts for pre-order probably around September or October for a November release, and it was agony waiting that long lol I want to say the lead single came out around August? With album in November.
Same with Ariana. Positions single was released 1 week before the whole album I think. Album was announced in the same month as release.
On an unrelated note, I really like that ModSun posted a video to TikTok as it will expose Avril to a different audience since we know she’s not going to use TikTok at all.

Maybe she loses her mind and decides to give Tik Tok a go lmao. Even if it's just a few videos around the time of her releases and then she disappears again, it would still definitely be an extra push in terms of divulgation. Tik Tok is one of the most powerful social media platforms at the moment and many songs have blown up because of Tik Tok last year. More and more big artists are taking advantage of the platform and if it continues growing the way it has I'd say it's only a matter of time until it becomes a regular alongside insta, facebook and twitter. But I also don't really picture her doing it for some reason. And if she ends up doing it for the new album cycle it's 100% because her team talked her into it -- much like with all her socials, I suppose

I truly hope she wants to give Tik Tok a go. Look at Jason Derulo. He basically promotes every single with an easy - fun - tiki's Tok dance choreography. Every time the song is sooo over used and people go and listen to the official song. I have also read many articles about so many "unknown" songs which became hit thanks to Tik Tok viral videos using it so it's not a stupid thing. (A few months ago What The Hell began being used for so many videos, for no reason.. and in fact it was used 1,3 Million times on Tik Tok. Her second most used is Hello kitty, 822 k. Flames, at the moment 350 times). Imo it's a new platform, it can be fun, done with dignity, Tik Tok is used by so many young people and let's say it: Avril needs also new fans and not only us from 2002
