Avril Lavigne Explains The Pop Behind ‘Let Go’

Jenny Eliscu of the Guardian spoke with Avril Lavigne who says that the harder-rocking songs on ‘Let Go’ – specifically, ‘Losing Grip’ and ‘Unwanted’ – had the sound she wanted for the whole album, but “I knew in my heart that I needed to be more pop to break.” Avril added, “Arista was drop-dead sh** afraid that I would come out with a whole album that sounded like ‘Unwanted’ and ‘Losing Grip’. I swear they wanted to drop me or something. I don’t feel like ‘Complicated’ represents me and my ability to write. But without ‘Complicated’, I bet you anything I wouldn’t have even sold a million records. The songs I did with the Matrix, yeah, they were good for my first record, but I don’t want to be that pop anymore.” Read more.
