A singer, a songwriter, a 'skater-punk'
- and a teen - Avril Lavigne the Rock & roll wild child, hit
big in summer 2002 with her spiky-fun debut song "Complicated,"
shifting pop music into a different direction. Lavigne, who was
17 at the time, didn't seem concerned with the glamor of the TRL-dominated
pop world and such confidence allowed her star power to soar.
Lavigne's rock ambitions were noticeable around age two. By her
early teens, she was already writing songs and playing guitar.
The church choir and local festivals and county fairs also allowed
Lavigne to get her voice heard, and Eventually she scored with
a record deal with Arista Records after winning a trip to New
York City and catching the attention of Antonio "LA"
Reid. Avril was 16 and moving to New York to work on her debut
LP.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Self-professed skate punk Avril Lavigne sings that she'd
"rather be anything but ordinary" on her debut.
While the fact that she had a record deal by the age of
16 separates her from the pack, too often Let Go's lyrical
shortcomings drag the teenager's musically impressive
recording entr?e into the realm of the typical. The catchy
choruses of Go are substantial, though, thanks to Lavigne's
riff-driven melodies and powerful vocals, which at times
adopt the unorthodox intonation quirks of fellow Canadian
Alanis Morrissette. The nuanced, dynamic "Losing
Grip," "My World" (which perfectly captures
the ennui of suburbia), and the buoyant power-pop blast
"Sk8er Boi" are the collection's highlights.
But Lavigne's honest yet awkward words weigh down the
likes of "Mobile," "I'm with You,"
and "Naked." "Nobody's Fool," which
displays her Pink-like take-me-as-I-am credo, hints that
someday Lavigne's lyrics will match the strength of her
music. --Annie Zaleski
