Avril Lavigne seems to have taken to heart in her brand-new bizarre for her uptempo pop punk-rock offering, "Rock N Roll," the second single from Canadian singer-songwriter's upcoming self-titled fifth studio album, due to hit shelves on September 24 by Epic Records. Lavigne is never (like, ever) growing up, at least when it comes to her two most recent singles. So apparently Lavigne isn't done about telling people to stop growing up and now she's going to show the world the true face of rock and roll. And the video is loud, unsubtle and utterly fantastic.
It seems like forever ago that we were crushing on sk8r bois and putting pink streaks in our hair because we really wanted to be like Avril Lavigne. Well now it's finally time to get the leopard-print hoodies and wristbands back out of the wardrobe, because she's back with her brand new song "Rock N Roll," which is what we'd imagine a punky pop-princess' love song to sound like, as Lavigne sings about not caring if she's a misfit, putting her middle finger up to the sky and being "different when I'm with you."
The Max Martin-produced anthemic pop/rock track, is complete mainstream pop but with a strong rock influence, and a boisterous declaration of rebellion on which the 28-year-old puts up her middle finger to the sky to let 'em know that we're still rock and roll. Lavigne shows off her pure gratitude with this full of attitude, catchy melody, cheeky lyrics and epic production. The track, sonically and thematically, picks up where her first single, "Here's to Never Growing Up," left off, thanks to its sing-along chorus, rocking beat and carpe diem attitude.
The Chris Marrs Piliero-directed steampunk Tank Girl themed clip should be noted, demonstrative of Lavigne's razor-sharp comedy chops and her complete willingness to kiss a girl. It can't exactly be summed up in mere words, features surreal scenes including a makeout session with Wonder Years actress Danica McKellar; a fight with a BearShark, an homage to Guns 'N Roses' "November Rain" video (playing a razorblade guitar-solo as she walking away from a church) and blasting Titanic star Billy Zane into space on a Segway. Lavigne, who declares herself "the motherfreaking princess" on the track, isn't sporting a crown, but instead an army helmet and camo-green bustier.
