Avril Lavigne: "I'm Really Sensitive And Emotional And I've Done A Lot Of Growing Up"


Tuesday (May 25) is a big day for Avril Lavigne. Not only does the date mark the release of the pop star’s second album, Under My Skin, but it’s also the day that Avril makes her debut as a full-grown woman. When Lavigne’s debut, Let Go, came out two years ago, she was 17 – and as most critics who interviewed her at the time will tell you, not a particularly mature 17 at that. Now she’s a hearty 19, has traveled the world, dated a few boys, hung out with rock stars and lives in her own place in… Read more »

Avril Lavigne Reveals What's Under Her Skin


Beyond the leisurely melodies and the abstinence theme on Avril Lavigne’s latest single, “Don’t Tell Me,” lives a side of the 19-year-old singer many people never thought existed. Elsewhere on her new album, Under My Skin, due May 25, the Canadian songstress tackles topics such as emotional isolation (“Together”), existential introspection (“How Does It Feel?”) and a fear of growing up (“Nobody’s Home”) – subjects far more mature than the teenage crushes she sang about on 2002’s Let Go. “It’s the same me. I wrote on both records, but my tastes have changed,” she said. “I was like 16 when… Read more »

Avril Lavigne's Dark Side


Despite more than ten years difference in age, fellow Canadians Chantal Kreviazuk and Avril Lavigne formed a relationship of mutual respect and sisterhood – and become songwriting partners – after they met last summer. “We became really good friends, and no one knew we were writing together,” says Lavigne. “Every single night for two weeks, we would write a new song. And then I was like, ‘OK, I’m ready to record them.’” The pair co-wrote six songs on Lavigne’s forthcoming album, Under My Skin (due May 25th): “Slipped Away,” “Forgotten,” “Together,” “How Does It Feel,” “He Wasn’t” and “Who Knows.”… Read more »

Avril Lavigne To Show Fans What Lies Beneath On New Album


If the 6 million fans who made Avril Lavigne’s first album, Let Go, among the best-selling records of 2002 think they know what makes the 19-year-old rocker tick, they’re just scratching the surface.
