I have been waiting for a long time to finally share my new album Head Above Water with all of you. My heart is so full and complete right now knowing you will hear it all next week. It was very important for me to tell the raw and honest stories of what I’ve been going through since sharing my life with you last. It was very healing for me when I was writing and recording these songs which was very freeing to me and I hope you embrace them. Love you guys and thanks again for your continuous support!!!!
Now how about those song snippets?
“Head Above Water”
First up is the song that started it all. Last September, “Head Above Water” was released as the first single from Avril’s upcoming album. It was a stunning comeback that was heart-wrenching and powerful.

“Birdie”
“Birdie” has surprising energy, crashing drums and belted vocals driving it forward. Avril sings, “You can’t pull me down, so birdie fly away. Higher, higher.”
Avril described the inspiration behind “Birdie”: “This was written from a place of not allowing something to hold you back from your full potential. It’s about breaking free and loving yourself enough to allow yourself to fly. Finding the confidence and strength to escape and grow.”

“I Fell In Love With The Devil”
Our final song preview is of “I Fell IN Love With The Devil,” a song Avril wrote alone. Of all the songs clips, this one sounds the most cinematic and magical. Avril sings, “I fell in love with the devil, now I’m in trouble. I fell in love with the devil, I’m underneath his spell.”
Talking about “I Fell In Love With The Devil,” Avril shared, “Sometimes your heart conflicts with your head and leads you into situations that you know aren’t right and then once you’re there, it’s very difficult to get out. I also produced this song with @CBaseford.”
