She Fights Label Bosses for Pushing Her Rock Into 'Urban' SoundAvril Lavigne was furious when record label executives tried to persuade her to ditch her trademark rock roots in favor of a radio-friendly "urban" sound.
Avril Lavigne's latest album "Goodbye Lullaby" was mired in delays after RCA bosses pushed Lavigne to try out a different vibe - and she was shocked when they suggested she sing dance tracks.
Roughly two weeks before Avril Lavigne's new studio effort "Goodbye Lullaby" hits stores across US, all tracks listed in the CD is previewed in an album sampler. It begins with twinkling piano sound of ballad tune "Black Star" before moving to more upbeat songs like "Smile".
Among the previewed tracks, the stand-out ones include "Wish You Were Here" which features catchy "damn, damn, damn" hook. After snippets of three songs' acoustic versions, the album sampler ends with her shouting about not giving a damn about her "Bad Reputation" in a Joan Jett cover song. The last four songs that are previewed will be included in the deluxe package.
"Goodbye Lullaby" is coming out across the country on March 8. It's led by a pop/rock song "What the Hell" which was released on the New Year's Eve.
Good Luck!
