How are we talking about an album that’s ten years old in the thread about her newest album? Oh right because we have NOTHING For a moment I thought you were talking about LG, then I realized that it's 2021 and GL is indeed a decade old already, wth.

Even though I've stopped listening to "Flames" about two months ago, I still like it, and when I do have one of those rare moments where I go back to it, I enjoy it. But yeah, the hype around "Flames" is over. I am looking forward to the acoustic version, but it should have been released in February, or at least early to mid March imo. As for Avril's music, those past experiences over the last eras have taught me to not get excited too early. Call me pessimistic, but I still don't believe in so much as a snippet until late May or even early June. I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if it turns out that we won't get a single till after summer after all. I just can't help but see this oh so well-known pattern from the last eras: Avril spends lots of the time in the studio, gets us excited and hyped, posts every day for a couple of weeks, and then... nothing. For several weeks. Followed by a "back in the studio" post by the time new material should already have been released.

Yes! It's finally official! "Flames" acoustic on Friday! I just hope they actually re-recorded their vocals. But tbh, I'm trying not to expect too much.... Either way, at least we'll have new content. It's been pretty quiet around Avril lately and my hype for AL7 has pretty much died down again (why does she always have to do that?? )

I just read every post so idk who said this but a lot of people finish songs in less than 48 hours. And a lot of artists also go back last minute to add a song or change something. It's just with Avril that that last part is usually a bad thing but that's usually when she takes 2+ years working on it and now she spent months. Really?! I had no idea! That's super fast, isn't it? A lot of the artists that I follow besides Avril have said they worked on some songs for several years. Obviously with gaps in between (so, not every single day over the course of e.g. 5 years, lol), but 48 hours? No way.

What? HDIF and boring?! Have you heard the bridge, and the outro with those high F notes? How can this be boring? I...
(But I do have to agree concerning the lyrics, they're trash.)

As for the recent instagram videos (or whatever - I just see them on avril_snapchat's Twitter): I quite like the cheerleading sounding drums. I think they could work great for a verse. Just not an entire song. We don't need another "Dumb Blonde" where it's just the same drum pattern throughout.
And the pick slide ... ah, I love pick slides! I hope we'll get some on AL7, too.

I don't hate Innocence, but it's certainly quite low in my personal Avril song rating, lower than KHO and WYG. I mainly just can't relate to it at all. Like, at all. I can't even pretend to relate to it, or just ignore some lines. The entire meaning of the song is just completely bizarre and strange to me. Guess I'm just too much of an always-anxious person, lol.

I haven't really been following the conversation much lately, but an album full of ballads? No thanks. That goes for any artist. I'm not a fan of ballads. Sure, there are exceptions (e.g. IFILWTD), but mostly, I prefer either mid-tempo songs like FTP, Birdie, or Darlin, or something aggressive and powerful like Take Me Away or Alone. Ballads tend to be too slow for my taste. I need something with some pep or I will indeed fall asleep.
Btw, all of TBDT's ballads are some of my least favourites. They all just sound too cheesy imo. #UnpopularOpinion

Since we've been using this thread to talk about Avril's appearance on Yungblud's show - one of my favourite vocal coaches on YouTube just uploaded this. I haven't even watched it myself yet, but I usually love her videos and just couldn't wait to share this one.

IDHTT is one of her best tracks vocally. Her voice is incredibly strong. She even fucking screams like a pro! The song also has killer production and instrumentation. The live drums are phenomenal. It's one of my absolute favourite songs and has been for ages. Honestly, it might even be the #1 Avril song for me.

I know I probably shouldn't expect much else from Avril, but if AL7 is just full of party and love songs, I'm going to be so disappointed.

I'm honestly surprised some of you guys are already getting impatient. Didn't Avril mention spring/summer, with more of an emphasis on "definitely (by) summer"? I know March already counts to spring, but honestly, I don't see anything so much as a snippet until earliest mid-April, and that's being super optimistic.
I can't really compare her to other artists, I don't know how fast they are, how much or little time passes between finishing the album and releasing it. But I could imagine that, depending on how much promo and other behind the scenes stuff needs to be planned, that could easily be about a month or more. After all, a promo team and a manager don't work for just one single artist, do they? They've got several clients. Also, just because Avril said the album was finished, doesn't mean they also got the design/layout, the mastering, and some other such stuff finished. So yeah, mid-April earliest, but since it's Avril, I wouldn't count with anything before May at this point.

This is clearly directed at the situation with this stalker breaking into Avril's house.
But someone please remind me - who is Danny Wozniak again? Google tells me he's a murderer, but I don't think that's the same guy. The picture certainly looks different, lol.
