《X-Posed:The Interview》Yeah, what a year for you!
Got married. You got this moive. You got a new CD coming out.
When did you have time to do all of this?
It sounds like a lot, but it's really...it wasn't
It was...I've just been at home the past year,
and taking my time on my record, and like you said
I got married and I filmed a part in a movie
as in ,doing voice over
And, yes, I have a record coming out
My record comes out in April
The first single comes out at the beginning of Febeuary
And currently right now I have a single out on radio called
I wrote that for the moive
It's a really good film
So, Avril, take us to the motions when they asked you to write a song for a moive
What's the experience?I mean, do they show you clips of the moive?
Or do they say, write something and (?) to us...How's that work?
Well. I was delighted to be asked by FOX
They came over here to my place and they played me about a 30s clip of the film
which is thought a lot to where we go
But you know, it's the trailer
And they spoke about...kind of...you know, the skyline...What they wanted
They didn't want the song to be romantic, because it's about the boy Eragon and his dragon
So I had to write about them...and like teamwork, and destiney, and like, you know, all that stuff.
So, a little challenging in that way that I couldn't just basically say wahtever I wanted
I had to do like...say and think about this dragon
And you know what, it was like, it was really fun, and it was different for me, so I like that
And when I watched the movie at the screening the other day,
Got to hear my song played at the end of it
It was very very rewarded, even...
I thought it worked perfectly with the moive, so I was happy with the outcome.
I love the song. and tell me what it was like...
I mean, are you like, the first year Chrismas, you get a little ornament that says Avril Chrismas Together
You started your little traditions and things like that
I was very traditional, I love Chrismas, yes
And for those who don't know, Mr. Whibley is your husband from Sum41
I hear that you changed your name legally. Is that true?
Yes, I changed my name legally to Avril Lavigne Whibley, just because...that's so much fun
It's already taken. I got all my credit cards says that. But of course I still just go back Avril Lavigne for my record and stuff
Speaking of the new year, that 2007, what are the plans for travel for you, or touring for you?
2007 is gonna be a big year for me, because I've got a record coming out. I think I said it's in April
And I just feel a lot of...you know, flying around the entire world, promoting my new record,
And my son still has, you gave him a little bracelet you were wearing like 50 of those little rober bracelets at the time
And you handed some to him and his friends that were there
And he still has that today so
I used to wear a lot of those, didn't I? Right.
Well. Both of you've probably gone through a little bit maturing, hah?
Are you still a hockey dude?
I love hockey. It's my favorite sport
Hey. Avril, tell us... We're familiar with your music, but what songs have you written for maybe some other artists?
Didn't you write one of Kelly Clarkson's songs?
Yes. It's not very often that I gave my songs to other people. Songs I don't use
But I had a song called ,
And Kelly Clarkson used that, and that's actually what's her last album just called, too. Right.
And she did a great job, you know, she's got such a beautiful voice
Wow, thanks. I'd like to keep my songs. It's like...these songs aren't gonna make this record now,
But these songs, that didn't make my last record but I put it in this record 'cause it suits it more.
This always need a B side and stuff like that. Sure.
I feel weird about getting songs for other people, especially they are really personal and it mean a lot to me cause I write my stuff
Well, most of your music really does seem personal, I think. I mean, they always have stories
I'm always wondering who you're writing about in this new record...
I mean, did you write anything about...you know, changes that've been made in your life?
Or is it a happy record? Is it gonna be a roar rock-out record?
This is really my most...yeah...so much fun...It's very upbeat
It's not as dark as my other records...they're kind of more serious
It's more (?), it's fun. It's funny
I do have some songs that are...you know, clearly about my love life
But the rest, I have 2 or 3 ballads on the record
But the rest is all really fast songs and rock stuff. It's fun. Girl stuff!
Girl stuff! I'm gonna love it!
Hey, Avril, what's the best concert you've seen lately?
I thought that Dixie Chicks at Staples center here in L.A. a couple weeks ago. Yeah?
Yeah, I like them
So, you like some country stuff every now and then?
Not too much. but I do like the Dixie Chicks
I think they're really talented, they are really great live.
I love where I can go to a show and people perform so well cause it was so inspiring and I always get ideas
Have you ever heard that from maybe an upcoming artist that said, I saw you, Avril Lavigne performing
And you inspired me or I love to do a song just like this
Well. I suddenly remember I met KC at the MTV Award.
This was like for...maybe her record came out, (her first one?)
She turned around and she said to me, uh! I love your record! Losing Grip is my favorite song!
She was like a huge fan and that was really cool.
Well, hey, happy new year to youWe can't wait for the new CD,
and we know there will be some surprises on it that we're not ready for, right?
Yeah,yeah, you know what, I promise, the first single is gonna be so much fun. I'm so excited. I love it!
Well, we'll get you back here real soon. You are so cute
Cool. Take care!
