A Happy Ending: Avril Lavigne Promises New Music Is Almost Ready

EDIT: Avril gave fans another update on April 16 via Twitter. See them at the bottom of the post.

Avril Lavigne took to social media to confirm that she is almost finished with her highly anticipated new album. Back in January the 33-year-old provided an update on the project. Describing it as “personal, dear, intimate, dramatic, raw, powerful, strong and unexpected,” she explained it was nearing the final mixing stages. Since then she has posted a handful of pictures from the recording studio, which seems to imply that she is still laying down songs. Today (April 12), she posted two new pictures and a coy status update.

Alongside a black-and-white snap of her writing with a guitar in hand, the “Sk8er Boi” siren wrote a simple vow: “Homestretch Bitches.” A second picture includes a piano. It is unclear if these are throwback pictures from the recording process or if the hitmaker is still laying down new material. Either way, it seems safe to assume that we will hear a new single before the end of the year. It has been more than four years since the pop/rock princess unleashed her self-titled fifth studio album, and fans are ready for her to reclaim a spot on the charts.

Although it has been years since the “Complicated” singer released an album, she has appeared on a series of buzz tracks over the years. In 2017 she collaborated with the production duo Grey on a robust track titled “Wings Clipped.” Before that she teamed up with the Special Olympics to record an inspirational ode called “Fly.” Hopefully she is able to put the finishing touches on her long-anticipated LP, because we are ready for more new music from her.

(1/2) I know there have been lots of rumors about the names of the track and the release dates but we are not quite ready to make those decisions just yet.
