Lavigne To Release ‘The Best Dam Thing’ In April

Avril Lavigne checked in with fans on her blog at Myspace on Saturday (December 16) providing news on her new album, while showing signs of being a high school dropout. “Hey guys! For those of you who don’t know, I just did ‘TRL’ and the ‘Today’ show to talk about the song ‘Keep Holding On’ that I wrote for the movie ‘Eragon’,” Lavigne writes. “And I did a bunch of radio interviews yesterday. Anyway I keep getting asked about my record and what it is called… so I wanted to give you guys all the info directly… So… I’m calling the record ‘The Best Dam Thing’…. And the first single is called ‘Girlfriend’… The single comes out February… And the record in April… I promise you guys will LOVE this record, it is my favorite one! And I can’t wait! It is really fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way… All the good stuff. This record will make a great live show, and that’s what I had in mind while writing it! My last tour helped inspire me. So because I am a touring artist and spend so much of my time playing live shows, I wanted to make sure the songs were fun. Fun for the fans and myself. I will only have like 3 slow songs on the record. Yay! I am working on my last song right now in the studio. I should be all wrapped up by Monday in time for the Christmas holidays. So I will check in with u guys soon. xoxo avril”
