First Album

Avril always hoped that one day she could stand on the stage and sing, but she did it. When the record company heard her singing, she signed a contract immediately, while some people would take 10 years to negotiate a contract, so even she considers herself very lucky!

After moving to New York, Avril immediately started creating records. When she got her first album CD in 2002, she embarked on a completely different life path. After releasing his first album, he immediately became popular and became a popular idol singer. And she is not yet 18 years old. She probably never thought that she would be so successful.

The album, titled "Let's Go", sold 9.6 million copies worldwide, and the sans-headwear style quickly gained support from a large number of music fans

Rolling Stone magazine selected Avril Lavigne as the Person of the Year in 2002, and Newsweek even announced in advance that Avril Lavigne would be the Artist of the Year in 2003. Now she She is still promoting this album, but she is not relaxing at all and is already writing songs for the next album. In the "Let Go" album, her singing voice is full of energy, her voice is as clear as crystal, and the lyrics are It also reveals pure feminine style. "Anything But Ordinary" is an ode to individual uniqueness; the guitar-driven first single "Complicated" is a concise song that hits the mark on Love Hustlers; and the string-tinged "I'm With You" reflects The softer side of Avril is revealed; songs such as "Losing Grip" and "Unwanted" bravely face the heaviness and sadness required to deal with the themes of rejection and betrayal; and the following "My World" and the metaphorical "Mobile" ” perfectly expands Avril’s life experience.

“I had this awe-inspiring opportunity to live my dream. I traveled all over the place, flew here and there, and encountered different things every day,” she explained. . "This is my lifestyle, but I don't want to live a normal life, otherwise I will feel bored."

In short, this is an "absolutely extraordinary" album. We are also looking forward to Avril's next album and hope she will do better!

Second Album

Lavigne's first album "Spread Your Wings" released in 2002 established a unique and unique brand in the minds of music fans around the world. A clear impression, in one fell swoop, Avril was promoted as the most representative female voice and appearance of the new generation. After achieving astonishing sales of nearly 15 million albums worldwide and being nominated for eight Grammy Awards, this Canadian rock girl is about to take the world by storm with her new masterpiece "Under My Skin". If you expect that this time Avril Lavigne will bring the same style of songs to the world as her last album, then you are totally wrong. Because just because Avril is Avril, she is definitely not an artist who will rest under the shining halo of awards and countless rock laurels.

The album "Under My Skin" opens with the very dramatic songs "Take Me Away" and "Together", which are intended to lead to the first wave of hit songs "Don' tTell Me"

Excellent emotional presentation. The single "Don`t Tell Me" is full of heavy rhythmic guitar accompaniment and is definitely a popular best-selling single on the radio. At the same time, this song is full of female power and asserts female sovereignty. It extends the artistic conception of the single "Super Complex Complicated" from the album "Fly High" and continues its deeper meaning. In addition, if music fans around the world hear the single "He Wasn`t", they will definitely shout about the guitar lead in it. In addition, the song "Who Knows" makes people can't help but shake their heads along and blend into the rhythm. The single "Freak Out" makes the audience spin, and the violent rock power is guaranteed to make everyone hooked. Some of the more slow, emotional and slightly worrying singles, such as "Forgotten" and "Nobody`s Home", also nakedly present the dark side of Avril's heart to everyone through musical notes and their meanings. before.

Avril Lavigne said: "I have grown a lot in the past two years. I have experienced many things and experienced many ups and downs in life. My songs are my experience and expression of the things around me. "For me, every song is a very private personal experience and the most real life experience." This time, the producers who also participated in Avril's new album include: Butch Walker. producer of the Marvelous 3), Raine Maida (producer of Our Lady Peace), Don Gilmore (producer of Linkin Park and Pearl Jam).

Avril Lavigne also co-wrote 12 songs in the "Under My Skin" album, and these songs are all about true stories that happened around Avril Lavigne.

The third album

The Best Damn Thing features dazzling, improvised guitar accompaniment with instantly memorable melodies, choruses and Unchanged rebellious rock attitude. It marks her escape from darkness, and the tone seems like a rumination on Under My Skin. At the same time, Avril is also happy to create some plot for her lyrics, which, as she said, are not directly from her diary. Today we hear a range of her work that shows how she has slowly developed as a songwriter and singer, from the funky debut "I Can Do Better" (one of Avril's personal favorites) to this difficult song. Resistance's album's first lead single "Grilfriend" (the song unexpectedly incorporates hip-hop rhythms, strong harmonies, applause and rap-style girl group harmonies into a punk rock melody); to 20th Century Fox The touching love song "Keep Holding On" recorded in the legendary movie "Eragon".

As a well-trained artist with a keen sense of pop music, Avril devoted her passion to all aspects of the production of "The Best Damn Thing" album: from independently composing her own songs (she emphasized : 'There was no involvement from the company's A&R staff during the production of this record, I knew very clearly what kind of work I wanted') to choosing producers and musical partners. In the studio, she harshly adjusted the tone of her guitar and drum beats in an effort to create her best album to date. All the hard work ended up being a blast. “I had no idea it would be that much fun to make a record,” she says. There are also some production masters who contributed their production skills to this album, including Dr. Luke (Pink, Lady Sovereign), Butch Walker (Avril's old friend, who participated in the production of "Under My Skin"), Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Goo Goo Dolls), and Avril Lavigne’s husband Deryck Whibley (Sum 41 member). Regarding cooperating again with Dr. Luke, who had already created several outstanding songs for her previous album ***, she said: "Luke and I have great communication and chemistry." Their production in the studio There's a light-hearted vibe throughout: You can hear Avril laughing on "I Can Do Better," and she says you can even hear a beer bottle blowing during the last few harmonies of "Girlfriend."

There are four songs on the album "The Best Damn Thing" that Avril wrote with her former bandmate Evan Taubenfeld, namely "Innocence", "Hot", and "One of Those Girls" ” and “Contagious”, “Evan is one of my best friends in the world”, she said very affectionately, “He has been by my side from day one”. Of course, all these upbeat and energetic songs will come to life in live performances planned for later this year, for which Avril has not only organized a new band but also recruited two backup dancers ('I even Being asked to dance for the first time,' she said with a smile, 'it will definitely be a highlight').

Image and personal life

Before 2003, Avril always carried a large bag with thirty ties when traveling. Some of them she bought, and the rest she got from her father or fans sent her.

Lavigne stopped wearing ties in 2003 after she was shocked by frequent media reports that she used the look to cover up her music and set trends among her fans.

She got a star tattooed on the inside of her left wrist, and her friend and music assistant Ben Moody also got an identical tattoo. In the second half of 2004, a pink heart-shaped tattoo containing the letter "D" appeared on her right wrist - which was believed to be her fiancé Deryck Whibley. She bought a house with him in Beverly Hills.

In March 2004, she began to be involved in feuds with celebrities such as Helena Duff. It was rumored that Helena Duff criticized Avril Lavigne after she openly supported her. The reporter was angry because she was dressed like Avril Lavigne. Harare Duff criticized her for being "narrow-minded" and said: "You should be happy for supporting you." So during an interview on a Boston radio station, Avril Lavigne called Harare Duff a mommy's girl and a pretentious person. .She also said to Hilarie Duff (Herrith Duff did not attend the interview show): "You can go and destroy yourself!" It is said that Avril Lavigne also said about Hilarie Duff: " I'm sure she was really nice and sweet. I'm sure she had a smile on her face." She admitted to Rollingstone.com that she got into a fight one night. "That night, I had three fights." Avril said: "That night I was in the club, and some girls were showing off to me. She pushed me, and I threw her to the ground. The guard came over, but because I was on top, so the guard threw me out." In 2002, Lavigne exposed her buttocks during a March MMVA performance. The incident caused some minor controversy, and Lavigne eventually stated in several music magazines that her butt cleft was her biggest personal trademark.
