“I’m not punk, but my music has some punk influences.”
– Avril Lavigne
Avril’s music exhibits a diverse range of influences, encompassing various genres such as country and punk rock. Her music always generates a strong emotional response, bursting with energy and intensity!
At the beginning, she found inspiration in renowned country music artists like Garth Brooks, the Chicks, and Shania Twain, whose music reflected a refreshing and authentic atmosphere. However, as her musical career advanced, she gradually transitioned towards a more assertive genre, drawing inspiration from punk rock bands like blink-182, the Offspring, and Sum 41. This musical transition not only signifies the development of her individual musical genre, but also her ongoing investigation and innovation in every aspect of music.
I don’t know if you know or what but Avril performed on behalf of Canada during the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics. In addition, she composed the song “Keep Holding On” specifically for the film Eragon, thereby enhancing the movie’s dynamics and imbuing it with a captivating energy. And also in 2007, her album titled “The Best Damn Thing” reached the number one position on the Billboard 200 chart. This really fascinates me that how can she do all these by herself, impressive, isn’t it?
But apart from the praise and appealing melodies, there is a unique aspect in Avril’s music that deeply connects with the audience. Perhaps it is the sincerity in her songwriting or the captivating energy in her live shows. Whatever it is, there’s no doubt, the magic that happens when you press play on an Avril Lavigne track.
