Avril has sent a video message!! CHECK!!
《Message from Avril》The title of the new album is 『The Best Damn Thing』. The first single is "Girlfriend". I'm sure everyone will really like it! I also like it very much. It has a sense of speed, is fun, energetic, powerful, confident, and full of energy. The new album contains only songs that are extremely fun to perform live, and I kept that in mind when writing them. My experience from the previous tour greatly helped in creating these songs this time. As an artist, I spend a lot of time on tour, so I really wanted to create songs that are fun to perform live. Fun songs for fans and for myself!
【Product Introduction】The lead first single "Girlfriend" is an upbeat, punkish rock tune that cheerfully shouts, "I will be your girlfriend, and then you will definitely be happy!" It is a super energetic track. The producer is Dr. Luke, who also collaborated on "Keep Holding On" and is a good friend of Avril’s as well as a top-selling producer (Backstreet Boys, P!NK, Kelly Clarkson, etc.). This track, reminiscent of Avril’s "Sk8er Boi," features an upbeat rock sound with a touch of rap, creating a completely new and powerful Avril sound! Once you hear it, you'll want to sing along and dance—truly a new girl anthem! Avril dances for the first time in the PV!
Additionally, the second single from the second album, "My Happy Ending," was produced by the talented producer Butch Walker, who also worked on "Keep Holding On." It is a beautiful, touching, and sad ballad "When You're Gone," and the album’s title track "The Best Damn Thing" is also a powerful track with pop catchiness and Avril’s signature style, almost as strong as a first single.Furthermore, two songs produced by Avril’s life partner, Derrick Wibley (SUM41), who married Avril in June 2006 (this third album is her first album after marriage), are included (Track 10 "One Of Those Girls" and Track 11 "Contagious"). Derrick also played guitar on three tracks! Avril, now even happier and openly sharing her happiness with the media, reflects her most shining self as an artist, making this her best work ever.
Additionally, the song "Keep Holding On," written for the blockbuster adventure film "Eragon: The Seeker of Power," which was released nationwide in Japan as a large New Year’s movie in December 2006, is included. She was approached by the film company and wrote the song based on her feelings along the film’s scenario, describing her songwriting style as "very challenging and educational as a songwriter." She performed a grand, beautiful ballad that rivals the scale of the film. Besides this song, there are other beautiful ballads, and she says, "I truly felt that way when I wrote those songs."Meanwhile, Rob Cavallo, who has worked with Green Day, My Chemical Romance, The Goo Goo Dolls, and others, is also credited as a producer (Track 8 "Innocence"), resulting in a variety of content unlike anything before!!
■ Japanese edition includes the "Girlfriend" PV (enhanced)!!
