7.18.13 - New Music - Avril Lavigne

So, we’re on to the second single and we have no word yet on the release date or title of an upcoming fifth album.

“Here’s To Never Growing Up”, the lead single that came out earlier this year, performed better than I expected (am I alone on that one?). It reached the top 20, and knowing the landscape of music these days and her pop/rock/punk style, that’s impressive.

“Rock N Roll” is more of the same, but that doesn’t mean all is lost. If anyone is going to make Avril relevant these days, it is super producer Max Martin. The track is co-produced by Chad Kroeger (of Nickelback and…Avril’s husband).

Again, I’m not sure that this is going to be a big hit, but I’ve been wrong before.
