It has been five years since Avril Lavigne released her self-titled fifth album, “Rock & Roll.” In those five years, she’s gone through relationship breakups, rumours of a doppelganger and her death. To top that off, in 2013, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease.
One thing I love about her songs is that you can truly feel the pain and happiness within them.
“Head Above Water “is the upcoming sixth studio album. With her two singles released in the last month, she has been one of the world’s top tunes! She hit a woo-ping of 3 million views in less than two days!
Head Above Water” is a dramatic piano ballad of resilience that takes thematic inspiration from Lavigne’s recovery from Lyme disease.
On September 6, the 33-year-old explained to fans her reason for laying low.
“I’m so excited to finally be able to announce the first single off my new album along with its release date,” she began the emotional letter. “Five years have gone by since I released my last album. I’ve spent the last few years at home, battling Lyme disease.
Those were the worst years of my life, as I went through both physical and emotional battles. I was able to turn that fight into music, which I’m really proud of.”I wrote songs in my bed and on the couch and recorded there mostly as well,” she added. “Words and lyrics that were so true to my experience came pouring out of me effortlessly. Truly, by keeping my spirits up, having goals to reach and a purpose to live for, my music helped to heal me and keep me alive.”
Like the “Avril Lavigne” singles that precede it, “Tell me it’s over” is stunningly arranged, swirling a steady beat, long acoustic strums and yelping vocals that refract the mischievous glow of you.
The pain of her marriage dates back to the 1970s and 1980s.
Robin Murray –” of Clash complimented the track’s production and deemed it ” highly personal note.”
As most of you know, I am a huge Avril fan. Her new album caught my eye, and I would like nothing more than to share my review with you.
This “Head Above Water” album sums up the entire release: With music, she wants to play, regardless of reception. She was styled in her skater land of pop-rock and kept to her enjoyable pop-rock theme.
She grasps the fool’s quality—the power of her voice. Teenagers who didn’t like how she seemed to switch to pop with her fifth album will recognise the slightly gritty side of her earlier music here. It’s clear that Lavigne has been experimenting with and discovering more about her music.
