Avril Lavigne is ready to make a comeback with her new album later this year.
The 33-year-old singer, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with her debut single Complicated, has had a rough few years as she was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2015.
However, in December 2016, Avril announced that she’s working on a new album, which will be her first record since releasing her self-titled fifth studio album back in 2013.
The Sk8er Boi singer walked her first red carpet in two years on Friday, attending the 25th annual Race To Erase MS Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Speaking to E! News about her comeback album, Avril said, “It’s a really powerful record. I’ve been working on this for three years. I can actually say this time I’m going to be done with this album in two weeks and I will put it out this year.”
“I’ve been writing songs that are really just powerful and true and honest and sincere and I think people will really be able to relate to it,” she said.
“I’ve gone through a lot of personal stuff in the past two years and so I’ve really drawn from that. I mean, I always do but this album is so different…I am producing, too, the songs. It’s more of a vocal record and just like, hearing the lyrics and really hearing the emotion in the vocal. It’s very piano-driven, too.”
“I know my fans have been like waiting for a long time and some of them are unhappy. They’re like, ‘OK, what is going on with this album?'” she said.
“But trust me, I’m doing everything I can and I just want it to be ready and everything to be perfect and lot of like, care has gone into this. All the waiting and the hard work on my end will pay off, I promise,” she added.
