G enuine, non-snarky question: why is Avril Lavigne still here? You would have been a fool to bet against her original shtick being huge in An era in which Busted bestrode teenage affections like a tri-headed, invariably gurning colossus was clearly ripe for a Canadian teen dressed as a schoolgirl, sticking her tongue out, doing devil-horn fingers and peddling battery-farmed pop-punk aimed squarely at teens. And it was huge: her debut album Let Go sold 16m copies. Equally, however, you would have been brave to bet on Avril Lavigne hanging around. You could marvel at the precision-tooling that went into Sk8er Boi without thinking it was necessarily the stuff on which protracted careers were founded.

Avril Lavigne Releases New Album 'Head Above Water' - PAPER
Avril Lavigne' new album departs from her pop-punk days with new sound. Mason Parcell, Writer February 18, The powerful ballad showcases a side of Lavigne we had never seen before. Gone are the days of her punk-image. We now see a spiritual woman who holds onto faith in order to get through her struggles. Last September , Lavigne posted a letter on her website detailing her battle with Lyme Disease and announcing the release of the track. The only problem is its repetition and lack of lyrical excellence the artist has shown her fans in the past.
By Dailymail. And now Avril Lavigne is turning heads once again thanks to the steamy cover for her new album Head Above Water. The year-old songstress debuted the risque cover on Friday via her Instagram account.
But now after a 6 year break, a divorce with Chad Kroeger and a long battle with lyme disease, Avril is back. And she means business with her rawest and most honest album yet, but one that is quite repetitive and uninspired. Now Avril is embracing what may be a true version of herself — a woman who is battle scarred from the trials of life.
