Avril Lavigne will release her new studio record, The Best D.AMN Thing, on April 17. The lead single, "Girlfriend," impacts at radio on March 5, with the video debuting on MTV on February 26. Billboard reports that the album finds Lavigne switching between Pop-Punk guitar riffs on some new tracks, and piano power ballads on others. The Best D.AMN Thing also includes her recent single, "Keep Holding On," from the Eragon soundtrack.

Thanks for the info. I saw her live once and she is quite talented!!

I loved her last cd! She is one of the youngins' I think are the real deal! I look forward to her new cd!

I'm looking forward to it too, it sounds pretty cool.... i'll be watching for snippets of it to listen to...

Here's the album cover! I'm so excited for this record, I love Avril! I'm lovin' the pink hair, very cute.

AWESOME!!!!!! thanks much for posting it!

No problem! I love the cover, and can't wait for the record. Looks like we're getting a bit of old school Avril. <3

Avril's new single, "Girlfriend", has leaked onto some website and you listen to hear it HERE! It's very different from her previous music, but I love it!!! Check it out, and let eveyone know what you think.

thanks for the link.... its kinda cute, i like that she says "Hell ya, I'm the muthaf.uckin' princess" LMAO

I cant wait to hear her piano ballads more then the pop stuff though....

I like Avril... I really do. But I can't help but wonder how her "hardcore" fans are gonna react to this song. I'm sure it'll be a hit on pop radio, but it's so far from her previous music.

I can't wait to hear the rest of the album though.

I just read somewhere (trying to find it again) where the video will be Punk Cheerleaders... I love that idea. It fits perfect with the song. I can't wait for it!!!

Thanx livingnightmare, the song is definetly different for Avril! Kinda poppy for her, but I liked it. The viedo sounds interesting! I will be buying her new cd!

Am I the only one that finds it amusing her singing a song about wanting to be someone's girlfriend being married and all. I wonder when she wrote this haha. Kidding. it's a cute song.

well, I imagine "girlfriend" sounds better as a title to a song, or lyrics then "wife", lol... I'm def gonna check out all the songs on this CD.

I've been a hardcore Avril fan since day one, and I love the new song! It's so fun to jump around to. :P
