Anything she says when it's early on in the process I take with a grain of salt. I don't want to make room for disappointment anymore.

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: So I checked out some other songs by Rina Sawayama 😳. I think her song STFU! is something I'd be down for Avril to try. It kind of reminds me of Dumb Blonde but better. Now I'm playing Rina's new album. She kind of has a Britney vibe to her and I see her getting BIG if she isn't already. Thanks for sharing!

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. Yeah I agree. 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. This. Both posts.

I randomly listened to "Wings Clipped" and it's such a great song! The chorus is weird and overly "electronical" and she wouldnt need that. But the verses are so good, the tempo, the melody, her voice - this could be a great "summer-sound" for her upbeat-songs. Much better than Sippin on Sunshine e.g.

I really enjoy the sound of modern pop like Halsey/Taylor. Avril has only dipped her feet in it but it fits her so well like in Break It So Good/In Touch/Wings Clipped. TMIO is another one where she uses that sound except it also has a vintage vibe to it. Either way, I think she needs to do more songs like those. It allows her to showcase her voice without having it be another ballad.
She could also do acoustic pop songs like Starving or Graveyard. Avril has proved over & over she sounds amazing acoustic. The only thing though is that when she's done that in WYWH and Goddess she came off as basic especially in the latter. But Complicated wasn't. It made her. Maybe she should go back to the beginning. She made IWY pt 2 why not Complicated too. Or HTNGU that one was good too.
Then comes my favorite, pop rock. She could reign this genre again but in the guise of country music. Except she said she was making country rock songs so who knows what they will sound like. I'm still so confused about that.
For the rock songs many of you want. I doubt we'll get anything on the level of UMS or TBDT. But edgy pop rock songs are making a comeback led by Halsey's songs Nightmare and 3am or Miley's song Mother's Daughter. If she does edgy rock songs I hope it sounds like that and not another Rock N Roll no matter how fun that song is it's not rock n roll at all.
Sorry for the long post. I just got to thinking a lot about where she can go next. Who knows maybe she'll go for folk next like with FF. Except I rather she gives us something fun this time around and a lot less lovey dovey crap. I need edgy Avril back but not choke me edgy. You know what I mean?
Man I'm picky 😅

Man I'm picky 😅 I was refering to this part of your comment lol. I'm pretty sure she said many times about her songs to be "funny", WTH for example. But anywys, what i mean is that her conception of "funny" sometimes turns into something really cringey and just bad...HK for example (i always say that the song is ok, melody and sound wise, but it's the lyrics and especially the music video.) I mean, AL is a bit cringey overall with songs like BS, SOS, YASNY, RNR, even Hello Heartache falls into this category a bit, Idk, maybe it's just me, but saying you're a type of alcohol and your partner is another one, it's not the smartest thing to do (??) idk xD) I'm just afraid she will do something cringey or stupid in the future. I guess doing that in your 20's is ok, but just imagine the backlash and criticism. I'm afraid 'cause i know she's a little bit crazy sometimes.

ame · 雨 oh I thought afterwards that might of been what you meant. But I meant something more like fun upbeat songs that I can enjoy as an adult. I often find her fun songs to be cringey or corny to play while hanging out with my friends. But that's Avril she has fun with her songs and life in general. I wouldn't hold my breath for things to change with her. We got lucky on HAW with a few exceptions. For example, DB is a fun song but the cringe chorus ruins it for me. But like Bo mentioned, she's been listening to bro country. That's her party playlist. Expect some cringey lyrics. Let's just hope she avoids country stereotypes. I don't think she'll get backlash. HK was unexpected and mostly came out of ignorance of her fame in Japan and her respect for the culture. Her only backlash is the taint on her reputation as the bratty motherfkn princess. Here is an example of the fun songs I was talking about. Kind of reminds me of the energy behind WTH

Maddie and Tae’s latest album is the kind of sound I’d LOVE to see Avril do if she’s serious about this country songs thing. That albums fantastic.

It sounds like the intro of a 90's sitcom! I would love a sound like this for Avril!

All I can think I want from AL7 would be a cohesive album Avril could be proud of, A to Z. No "fillers" or songs she really doesn't even know exists .. if you get my drift. Follow a theme or thread throughout. Be creative. Upbeat and mellow driven. Guitars, piano, drums and strings. For all I care it can be country, folk, pop, rock, punk, jazz, blues or whatever inspires her. If she still have the creative freedom, use it for what it is worth
