First Single, "What the Hell," Set For Worldwide Debut on Annual New Year’s Eve Special

 

December 7, 2010 – Two years in the making, singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne's fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, will be released by RCA Records on March 8, 2011. Lavigne will debut the first single "What the Hell" on New Year's Eve during "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve."

 

Lavigne worked with longtime collaborators Deryck Whibley, Evan Taubenfeld and Butch Walker, as well as songwriter/producer Max Martin. Lavigne continues to share her personal experiences through her writing and music, and Goodbye Lullaby is a further evolution of this, propelled by a more raw and organic sound.

 

Among its upbeat tracks are "What the Hell," an unabashed embrace of fun and freedom, and "Stop Standing There," fueled by an early-‘50s girl-group feel. The album runs the gamut of emotions: Lavigne expresses her gratitude for special people in her life in the rocker "Smile," explores the dynamics of a relationship in "Push," shows her vulnerable side in "Wish You Were Here," and finds the strength to close one chapter of her life and move on to the next in the title track "Goodbye."

 

Outside the recording studio, Lavigne is a successful entrepreneur who continues to design and direct her lifestyle apparel brand, Abbey Dawn, which has expanded its worldwide footprint and will be shipping to 50+ countries beginning this month. Along with her popular fragrance Black Star, she recently introduced Forbidden Rose and is launching a third fragrance in 2011. This September, Lavigne's past charitable work also inspired her to create The Avril Lavigne Foundation. The Foundation works in partnership with leading charitable organizations to design and deliver programs, raise awareness, and mobilize support for children and youth living with serious illnesses or disabilities.

 

Avril Lavigne has made an indelible mark on the music community, selling more than 30 million albums worldwide, earning eight Grammy nominations and seven Canadian Juno Awards. She burst onto the music scene in 2002 with the critically acclaimed Let Go, featuring the smash singles "Sk8r Boi" and "Complicated." Her 2004 release, Under My Skin, debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, as did her third album, The Best Damn Thing, which produced the irrepressible #1 single "Girlfriend" and logged more than 130 million views on YouTube! Lavigne also wrote the song "Alice" for Tim Burton's critically acclaimed Disney Film Alice in Wonderland. For more information, visit www.AvrilLavigne.com.

Can't Wait! - Cover = VERY 'My December'-ish though :\

The cover looks very amateur-ish, like it was made by someone on here even.

That cover is LUDICROUS. The last five years clearly just haven't happened in Avril's mind.

Oops, I think the cover is lush actually. ^_^

Apparently according to someone on twitter and digital spy.. a dancer of the xfactor has claimed she's dancing with Avril and Cher - Girlfriend.

I'm actually really looking forward to this album, I like the cover alot!

Even if it's fake, I LOVE it. ^_^

Nice to meet another Avril "Loon" by the way. I'm BEYOND excited for March already. ^_^

The preview sounds so good :wub:

 

And the official cover is great :D

I thought she'd come back with something along these lines. It sounds like she's caught somewhere between Girlfriend and Hot N Cold.

 

Still sounds pretty decent just from that clip ^_^ Maybe the album won't be a complete failure after all. Hmmm.

Not the biggest Avril fan (I like a few of her songs) but this preview sounds great :wub:

Preview sounds ok, very much like 'Girlfriend' though which I'm not too fond of.

 

my faves of hers are 'My Happy Ending' 'I'm With You' and 'Nobody's Home'

well I'm sure people are going to know what I think of the preview. :kink:

Crap? On course to be the worst single of 2011? :unsure:

Souns good! Definatly has the potential to be a very good track anyway. 'Girlfriend' comparisments are inevitable but it sounds more like a toned down, less annoying version of it which can only be a good thing.

I'm intrigued how she's going to sound on this anyway, 4 years is a long time between albms and I dont think anyone really cares or remembers her that much but this could still have the potential I think.

This is probably one of the tracks she was 'forced' to record to sell the album.

The preview sounds really good. I can't wait for the album, I've loved everything she's done so far :)
