10 Popular Artists You Didn't Know Released Music In 2019
6. Avril Lavigne
Her first album since her 2013 self-titled album, Head Above Water was released in February to mixed reviews and chart failure. The title track featured an impassioned description of her battle with lyme disease, but is better suited to Christian Radio rather than her MTV heyday.
The albums religious themes continue with Goddess and I Fell In Love With The Devil. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, Avril's albums have lacked mature themes. But after years of wanting her to grow up, the old Avril is actually kind of missed here.
Dumb Blonde is respite for fans of 2000s Avril, and could’ve been a hit back then. An odd pairing with Nicki Minaj is catchy, while feeling a little tacked on as recently discussed in WhatCulture's odd musical pairings of 2019.
Head Above Water hits the spot for more Avril, but is lost in swathes of new pop stars in 2019.
