Avril Lavigne
Avril's new CD 'Under My Skin' hit the stores on Tuesday, May 25, 2004. It's her second album, ``Under My Skin,''is the follow-up to her monstrously
successful debut, 2002's ``Let Go.'' Though she's only 19, Lavigne has had a profound effect on the pop world in her short career. In 2002, most teen female singing stars were little more than sexy nymphets singing prepackaged pop that was neither distinctive nor written by the stars themselves.Her album sold more than five million copies and received a slew of Grammy nominations thanks to hits like ``Sk8er Boi,'' ``I'm With You,'' and ``Complicated.''Though the record definitely has elements of her previous hits - great pop melodies with a rock feel - they also delve into more adult topics, like broken relationships, the loss of a loved one and complex emotions. Kreviazuk says that instead of worrying about her past success, Lavigne is more interested in being a well-rounded artist. And she's learned to shrug off the barbs she's received, let down her guard and let people see there's something more to her than an angry stare.
