Girl, then stop writing if you want to finish it lmao.
The same thing happened with LS. She finished the album and kept having writing sessions, hence, why she started playing with the idea of a double album. Maybe we can confirm she's literally done with AL8?
Maybe this new material will be for a proper deluxe.

I seriously doubt she'll stray away too much from the LS sound since she's working with the same people. I'm almost certain it will still be within the alternative category, maybe adding some new elements to some songs and parts. Besides, she never said it wouldn't be pop-punk, she just said it would be different from LS. There're so many ways she can expand within this genre and that's what I think she's doing. We know Travis has been recording drums in most of her stories and we've heard some pretty heavy, yet short, snippets. So yeah, it's not like she's coming back with a pop album lol.
Yesterday she worked with Feldy in what seemed to be a writing session, followed by a recording session at Travis' studio. I just hope she finishes really soon. We know it's never too good when she sits on an album for too long. Hopefully this month she's finally done with it.

I'm not surprised, since streaming has never been and never will be her strongpoint. GL probably got all those streams because of WTH alone, same with TBDT with Girlfriend. She does much better at physical sales than many of the top-listened artists on Spotify. Plus, she did really well on radio with LIWYHM and now IAM.
It would be great to have a single in the next album that reaches 100M streams in the first weeks of its release, but she just doesn't create that kind of hype anymore, and I'm completely fine with it. She's finally making music she loves and isn't forced to put out "hit songs" that eventually never achieved any kind of success after WTH.

Why is it so important for her to collab with someone who has only one song that distantly sounds like something she would release? I just don’t see this collab work unless they pull out a Dumb Blonde 2.0 , and I wouldn’t really be looking forward to that.
Maybe she’ll put out a remix with her for that F2F song? Who knows.

I’m not sure if it’s my new AirPods or if they remastered love Sux on Apple Music. Not the deluxe, the og. There various added voices and such on deja vu, and love Sux has different production. More like “ew.” And such. I swear they remastered it. Almost 100% your new AirPods, and you must be listening to the album through Dolby Atmos, which gives you a richer listening experience and you get to hear the adlibs, instruments and other elements in the song in a much more crisp and enhanced way.

That’s what I don’t understand. If she’s doing so well with IAM on radio, should she at least be debuting at the Billboard 100?

She just started following Maggie Lindemann on Instagram, who is one of my current favorite singers. I know her follows are mostly random, but Maggie has always been very outspoken about how much she loves Avril and has been a huge inspiration for her, not because she was asked about Avril like other singers, but she genuinely brings her up as one of her main inspirations and idols, so I’d love them to collab even if it’s a stand alone single. It would definitely be a dream for Maggie!
Maggie’s music is very rooted in this new wave of pop-punk music, so they could make something epic for sure.

It should've been a single. Too bad the era is nearing the end if not dead already, unless the keeps going with the LS Tour in Europe and she could make it a single before the tour.

The song is nice, but probably won't go back to it too often. Flames was much better on first listen.

These last few stories have restored my faith in the album. There's no way this album won't be heavily instrumented with all the drums Travis has been recording, and damn, he seemed to be going nuts on that one, so I'm excited to hear what they're cooking up. I really think that by "beats" she meant incorporating some beat elements to songs like in IDHTT, Mercury In Retrograde and LIWYHM, but still have them go full band in the chorus. I think it's safe to say there's no way this will be AL 2.0, and I am happy that's the case.

Other than Break It So Good, which I think is probably her best experimental song (and IMO a version with an electric guitar in the final chorus would make the song a masterpiece), the rest of them are pretty bad, and I’m glad she ditched those electronic versions of songs. HAW is a quite underwhelming album as a whole, but I’d rather have the version that ended up being released than these songs which sound nothing like her and not in a good way.

Agreed. I can't see anything from GL onwards getting an anniversary edition, since they're all too forgettable for the GP. Only one major hit has come from the last four albums, that being WTH, and it wasn't even Top 10 on the Billboard charts.
However, I can see something similar happen to UMS and TBDT, since they were still huge and had major hits. Not sure if we'll get a bunch of unreleased b-sides, but we could get "Daydream" and "Take It" as additional bonus tracks for UMS and "I Will Be", "Alone" and maybe one more unheard song. It would be nice to have those songs on vinyl for the first time and a remastering taking place, especially if she's still working with Feldman / working at DTA by that time, since he remastered all of LG for the 20th Anniversary edition.

The previews of his album so far sound really good. He's taken the best part of his previous album and placed it into every song here. Feldy is such a great producer, and I'm glad he's working on AL8. Hopefully the same will happen with Avril's album, where she takes the best parts of LS and enhances them.
I hope Shelter is on par with these. So far all we know it's an "emo" song they did together, so I expect something like Flames but maybe even darker or moodier.

I’ve been listening to Blackbear’s newest album, which was produced by Andrew Goldstein and Travis, and it has a mix of instruments and beats (one is very similar to the beat on Mercury) and it actually works really well.
I think that when Avril means she’s experimenting with new sounds it must be more related to what Blackbear has done while still under the Alternative lane. It sounds very different from LS but still is pop-punk, with some small hip-hop/trap influences. I guess she’ll just add ballads and some mid tempos that would be in line with what she said about it being a mix between LS and her other albums.
Maybe we’re worrying too much in advance expecting an AL 2 when we could actually be getting an album with its own identity.

Avril follows lots of artists randomly and like 99% of the times it means nothing. She recently followed Pink, and it probably just means her wanting to follow more artists, not for collaborating.
