The album draws inspiration from Lavigne's battle with Lyme disease, with her describing the album as an "emotional journey". She assumed an integral role in the album's production and collaborated with several producers including Chad Kroeger, Stephan Moccio, Chris Baseford, Johan Carlsson, Lauren Christy from The Matrix, Ryan Cabrera, Travis Clark of We the Kings, Bonnie McKee, JR Rotem and Mitch Allan among others. It is Lavigne's first studio release since her self-titled fifth studio album (2013), marking the longest gap between two of her studio albums, and is her first and only album recorded for the new incarnation of BMG (she was originally signed to the first incarnation of BMG, which later became Sony Music). It was released on Februthrough BMG Rights Management. I hope she releases a better album for the next one.Head Above Water is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. I give it a 7 because there are some really good songs that overcome the bad ones, but it could've been easily a 6. I think this album is in the "middle of nowhere", it has glimpses of what direction she should (in my opinion) go towards, a more mature, less pop one, but still some of that "bratty" spirit she was famous for. It makes wonder what it could've been if Epic Records had let her do her thing instead of making her go back to studio for "hits". The album as a whole isn't bad at all, but songs like 17 (badly produced), **** Summer or Sipping on Sunshine are subpar and even filler to me. They worked together for this album in 2012 and the album was going to consist of their songs for the most part, before she was sent back to studio with "hitmakers" like J-Kash or Martin Johnson. *Tripod is the name she gave to the team of songwriters/producers that contain David Hodges, Chad Kroeger and herself. There are really bad songs (the infamous Hello Kitty, or the forced Rock N Roll) and really good ones (Tripod* and self-written songs, like Let Me Go or Falling Fast). It's definitely too "over the place" as she said, and it confuses me a lot. It's not as bad as The Best Damn Thing was, but it's a step back from Goodbye Lullaby.
It's I have very mixed feelings about this album.
I have very mixed feelings about this album. Without a doubt, is one of the best albums of the genre that came out this year. Well, Avril Lavigne can not be the factor that the world looks today, may not have the performance of various pop divas, but she makes up for it all with quality and honesty. ''Hush Hush'' the last track has a great role to play, and she does it without the least effort proving a powerful ballad. ''Falling Fast'' is an incredible sensitivity, Avril is crazy with a guitar, and it's no different here, is a show of sweet voice and honesty. ''Hello Heartache'' is strange, in a good sense, his lalalala in the beginning, you do not know what to expect, but over time it marks its place on the album, showing completely new and touching. ''Sippin 'On Sunshine'' is a great track, very fun to listen to, but the other side is no big deal. Hello Kitty is stupidly fun, other music not imagine anyone behind unless the same ''You Ain't See Nothing See Nothing Yet'' remember old times of their work, it is so easy to digest it and let it flow. Bad Girl is completely unpretentious and weird, with the robotic vocals that make the treat even greater in this case. ''Give You What You'' Like is perhaps the most curious track, is a huge vulnerability as well, but at the same time an incredible aggressiveness, is without doubt one of the best tracks on the album, also featured the vocals. ''Let Me Go'' explores well Lavigne vocals and Chad 's a good personality to the music. We have so many good times here, ''Rock N Roll'' is completely debauched and is what makes it work so well, also with ''Here 's To Never Growing Up'', who else could sing these two songs without being Avril? 'Summer'' is a flash-back of affairs led by a good vibe and showing what came when delivery to rap.
Sounds like a case of pure nostalgia, Avril seems to want to make music, to share everything she has with her fans, doesn't seems to be a Sounds like a case of pure nostalgia, Avril seems to want to make music, to share everything she has with her fans, doesn't seems to be a work produced just to squeeze money out of the world.
