I don’t know why, ever since Head Above Water, Avril seems to have forgotten how to lip sync in music videos? She barely opens her mouth! It frustrates the hell outta me, so I don’t think I can stomach watching the music video again. If I was the director, I’d just say to her “OPEN YOUR MOUTH” lol Yeah that’s my only issue with the video actually - especially that opening scene on the “youuuuuu”

If her lip syncing was anything like the Queens on Drag Race her videos would be elevated to such a new level!

I am in love with the video! Yes, this is exactly what I expected! I actually wanted something between Sk8er Boi and He Wasn't and I must say I'm very happy with the results because she still has that Let Go era attitude and her Under My Skin looks.
As for the lip-sync, I guess you can't expect her to open her mouth widely or quickly at the beginning of the song because the sound and lyrics are low and smooth. I agree she may not be the best actress ever but what can you expect when the beginning of the song is so calm and smooth? We all know she isn't the best actress ever but she does a great job in the chorus. In fact, I've watched the video with no sound at all and I can say she vocalises properly. And of course, she isn't going to be as energetic and agressive as Mod Sun, but it's comprehensible. He wrote the lyrics, it's his story, his experience. Besides, it's his song and video. Like it or not, he's the protagonist.
Anyway, the only thing I don't like about the music video is the graveyard scene. The set reminds me of the one from I Fell In Love With The Devil, which looks cheap because the lighting isn't the best. I'm sorry but the gravestone here also looks awful. Other than that, I am impressed and delighted with Flames. I even got goose bump the first time I saw Avril and Modsun staring at each other while screaming pure gold.

As for AL7 I know she said it will be out soon, and reading this I'm the first to be super excited, but you know it's Avril, I will take it with a pinch of salt... inside me I hope that this time she will surprises us.

It was very amusing to see 😄

The graveyard scene is left intentionally goofy, like from a silly horror movie ;-). They also didn't bother to hide where fire originates, and the people behind net fencing is most likely an 80s throwback, I'm almost sure of it!

Considering how close she seems to be, I honestly wonder if we could get the first single as early as next month, maybe with album to follow in April, similar to the timeline of TBDT. But then I wonder what her incentive would be to release the album so soon considering live performances still can’t take place. I guess she could still do virtual interviews and performances for promo? Such a shame that this will probably be her most live performance-friendly album in a long time yet she won’t really be able to perform anything for quite some time.

If I was the director, I’d just say to her “OPEN YOUR MOUTH” lol More like since Alice honestly I don’t understand what’s so damn hard about just actually singing to make it look more real? Or like if she’s got a big note to hit, in real life she would open her mouth so much more, why can’t she replicate that even if she isn’t actually singing? I know right! And you’re right, it has probably happened since 2010 or so. I just cannot comprehend how the directors of Alice, WYWH, HTNGU, TMIO & IFILWTD all couldn’t manage to get Avril to lip sync properly! It’s baffling! Maybe they all try & she just doesn’t get it? How can she look back at them and think it looks good? Sorry, but it bugs me SO much LOL!

Such a shame that this will probably be her most live performance-friendly album in a long time yet she won’t really be able to perform anything for quite some time. True but also, would she even play the songs live? Lol, I’d expect we’d get about 13 old songs and maybe 5 from the new album, and I’m being optimistic.

I’m expecting first single out late March / April.
2nd in the summer .. then the record.
Both 2 first singles very energetic. Probably she will use the MGK collab as 2nd single to build hype and new fans before the release of the record.
Then after the summer .. a ballad . For winter . Late 2021.
Tour? I’m sure they rescheduled begin 2022, but the experience and common sense leads us to know they clearly won’t happen. So it will happen hopefully late 2022 or early 2023, but as Bogo says she will sing few New songs so it doesn’t truly make a difference. And I’m pretty sure also AL6 will just be reduced to HAW and IFILWTD live, or probably just HAW.
So, she can release 2 singles in first half of 2021, then the record in the second half along with a 3rd single, then the tour for AL7 in late 2022/ begin 2023 when things will be better.

Honestly I didn’t like the video. Her parts where very very basic, singing with instruments. The ModSun parts were good.
As for AL7, no one is following the same formula to release music. People is so focus on social media now and because of Covid, she could get tons of performances and do nothing to her music.
They should focus on playlists, internet ads, viral videos, great photos, surprise releases. That’s how it works. Nothing else will make her music success
