Avril Lavigne shows her dramatic side in a haunting new music video for her piano-tinged pop-rock ballad, "Let Me Go," the third single from her upcoming self-titled fifth studio album, which was pushed back from its original September release date, and will hits stores November 5th via Epic. It's no secret that "Let Me Go," Lavigne's duet with husband Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, is an emotional blackout waiting to happen. It's got weepy synths, haunting harmonies, poignant lyrics, and now, an equally sob-inducing music video!
After dropping "Here's To Never Growing Up" and "Rock N Roll," the 29-year-old newlywed Canadian singer-songwriter is giving fans another taste of her upcoming record. The sad love song is a a piano-driven power ballad with elements of pop rock and alternative rock. Its instrumentation features a piano, a string section, an acoustic drum kit, and electric guitars and bass. The punk princess premiered the new track on MYFM Monday morning, and although the duet is with her man, the track is surprisingly a breakup ballad.
Lavigne painfully reminiscing over a failed love, sings: "I'm breaking free from these memories / Gotta let it go, just let it go / I've said goodbye, set it all on fire / gotta let it go, just let it go." Kroeger is featured in the song's second verse, where he sings, "You came back to find I was gone / And that place is empty, like the hole that was left in me." The ironic heartbreak tune with a lush, high drama ballad is reminiscent of many of Lavigne's biggest power ballad hits, including "Losing Grip," "Nobody's Home" and "Keep Holding On."
The newlywed rockers show their softer sides in the dramatic, Chris Sims-directed clip, as Lavigne takes on an old Hollywood glam look with golden curls and a little black dress, as she roams the halls of an abandoned mansion, where she plays the piano and rests on a regal couch, with Kroeger who's playing an ex-lover she's trying to get over as his appearance being channeled through an elderly yardman, only to be seen as his true self through mirrored and tablet-assisted images, and both strum an acoustic guitar in apparent despair. Thy appear together during the song's final chorus.
