Nearly four years after the release of "The Best Damn Thing," Avril Lavigne has finally set a date for her long-awaited fourth studio album.
在距上一張專輯《The Best Damn Thing》發(fā)行四年之久后,朋克小魔女艾薇兒確定了粉絲期待已久的第四張專輯發(fā)售日期。
The Canadian pop star will drop her new set, entitled "Goodbye Lullaby," March 8 on RCA Records. She will premiere its first single, "What the Hell," during a performance on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" on December 31.
這張新專輯被命名為《Goodbye Lullaby》,將于今年3月8日通過RCA唱片旗下發(fā)行。首波單曲《what the hell》于2010年12月31日在紐約跨年演唱會上首次演出。
Lavigne told Billboard last February that the album, which will include tracks like "Stop Standing There," "Push" and "Goodbye," would feature a "somewhat more raw" sound than her previous output.
上周二,艾薇兒向《告示牌》雜志披露了新專輯中的幾首歌名《Stop Standing There》《Push》《Goodbye》,較以往的專輯相比,這張專輯將會多一些“原始”的聲音。
In a letter to fans , Lavigne sounded off about the delayed release of "Goodbye Lullaby," which has reportedly been finished for over a year.
在寫給歌迷的信中,艾薇兒解釋了這張已被報道一年的專輯推遲發(fā)行的原因。
"This has been a really difficult record for me to create and to release," she wrote. "Not only is this the most meaningful and special record I have written, it is sincere, honest and close to my heart. But for the first time I experienced a bunch of bureaucratic BS... People do their best work when they are doing what they want, love and is natural for them, not when you are forcing them to be something that they are not."
“創(chuàng)作和發(fā)行這張專輯對我來說真的是一個艱難的過程。”她寫道,“這不僅因為這張專輯是我的創(chuàng)作中最有意義和最特別的,它真誠直率,直抒心意,更因為我第一次經(jīng)歷了諸多無奈的事情。當人們?nèi)プ鏊麄兿胱龅氖虑椋麄兛倳贸鲎詈玫淖髌?,而如果是被迫做自己不喜歡的事是不會有成果的。”
