Sneak Peek: Avril Lavigne talks The Black Star Tour Avril Lavigne is finally saying "hello" to Canada for her latest road trip, The Black Star Tour, in support of her fourth album, "Goodbye Lullaby," which was released in March. She has spent the past five months taking her new live show all over the world -- China, Russia, the Bahamas, Brazil, Italy and in between. The pop singer begins an extensive Canadian arena tour in Victoria, BC on October 1 and ends 16 shows later in Montreal on the 25th. MSN spoke to Lavigne on the phone from Paris about what she has in store for her countrymen. Karen Bliss: At what stage in the making of "Goodbye Lullaby" did you start thinking about the tour? Avril Lavigne: I always think about the tour when I'm writing the songs. I was ready to not have to try to rock out so hard and to be able to take it easy on stage. This album, in general, I didn't want it to be over-produced and I didn't want it to have a ton of tracks. I wanted it to be about the vocal performance, capturing the emotion in it and just being able to hear it and get the feeling out of it behind the lyric. "What The Hell" is the first single but it isn't really what the rest of the songs are like. I'm excited to be releasing 'Wish you Were Here' as the third single because that song really reflects this album and what it stands for. I wanted this album to be little more song-driven, more stripped-down -- respect being a singer and being a songwriter. I love the song 'What The Hell' and it's so much fun to play live and it's kind of like my older stuff, but to get to this point now with this single, I'm excited for that. KB: On your earlier tours, you would sit at the piano and you'd just have the band, no dancers and no distractions. We could marvel at your voice or see you play guitar or sometimes get behind the drum kit for fun. Is this tour just the band or do you have dancers? AL: The tour is just the band and I. There's not much of a production. It's just us up there playing the songs. There's a lot of rock-out moments where I'm playing all the older songs, like "Sk8er Boi" and "Girlfriend," and even "What The Hell," and then there's some more stripped-down moments where either I'll be on the piano or it's just more acoustic, so there's a mixture there. And it's nice having those moments to switch it up and just be like, 'Okay, I'm going to chill out right now and just sing [laughs]. KB: What about the stage design and lights? AL: For lights and stuff like that, I just wanted to keep it dark, to use a lot of red and blue. Just keep a moodier, darker tone. KB: Last time, you were all about the pink and black. On the DVD that comes with "Goodbye Lullaby," there's a tour rehearsal segment with your band where you are all joking around about the silver. Is there still a silver drum kit or silver mic or silver guitar? AL: Yeah, we have a little bit of silver. Like the boys are wearing silver shoes and some of us have silver guitars, but we have silver and red. And there's a red curtain behind us. And, yeah, the last tour was the biggest production that I'd ever done with dancers and all that, pink and flashy [laughs]. KB: Are you changing anything up for this [Canadian] tour, even for yourself, because you've been touring for so long? AL: We're gotten into a bit of a groove. We changed a lot around in South America. Every night I was putting in a different song, taking something out. The set has progressed and changed. You can only change it so much though because you kind of perfect it after experiencing it live. And you have different sections. The beginning, of course, is my rock-out section. I run out and I'm like, "Woo!" get the crowd to dance. And then I like to strip it down and do some kind of moodier, more mellow pieces, and then I like to come back out and try to rock out again, but the thing is, I don't have a million fast songs so you try things out. Sometimes you try different versions; sometimes you speed it up; sometimes you strip it down. KB: When you recorded "Goodbye Lullaby," you hadn't road-tested any of the songs so they hadn't taken on a life of their own. Are they any from the album that have now changed from the recorded version? AL: When I do "Stop Standing There," I play it on piano and my guitar player gets on the drums. KB: That's my favourite song on the album with that rhythm... AL: Thanks. I wrote that one myself. And I like to play that one on the piano because I wrote it on the piano, so I'm like, "I already know how to play it. Let's just do it like this [laughs]." Yeah, every country and every audience responds and reacts differently. Sometimes, you feel like you want to play more fast songs. Sometimes the slow ones go over really, really well in certain places. See, I was kind of feeling it out, vibing it out, and switching songs up. KB: What have been the highlights of the past five months on the road [Avril started touring in China at the end of April]? AL: I feel like it's different. It's easier and it's the most fun I've ever had because of my experience now. I have a bigger catalogue so I have more songs to pick from. I always found it challenging on my first tour because I only had one record to work with and what happens is that certain songs go over really great live and some are okay, but some are better than others. So now, I get to pick and choose, "Okay, love these ones live. These ones aren't my favourite." So now I have more options. Also, I've been working on my vocals and I've trained with a vocal coach so that I don't lose my voice. I feel like my vocals are definitely the strongest they've ever been because: a) experience; and b) I'm singing correctly. I put so much work into this tour with training, and I do 45-minutes of vocal warm-ups because I get out there and I focus really hard and sing differently from a different place and sing correctly. And I have such an incredible band. They're so professional and they're amazing musicians that when I get out there I don't have to worry how is it gonna sound or how is my voice gonna be? I get to just put all my energy towards the audience and performing and making sure that they have a good time. So it's a different type of headspace that I'm in. KB: That said, is it weird to look out and all these people who have paid money to come see you play are watching your show through their camera phones? AL: That's what I do when I'm sight-seeing or something happens, I pull out my camera and then I'm like, "Why aren't I just looking at that?" I have a bit of a funny story. When I went to Japan for the first time, they were all saying, "Hey, when you're onstage, you might see people holding up cell phones. Just so you know, it's 'cause there's cameras." Because they had that way before we did. But, yeah, it is funny, the whole sea of people usually do have their flashes and their cameras. I never really think about it, but it's cool; it just means that they want to remember the moment [laughs] and stick it up on YouTube. KB: I know. It's such a different time. I don't have to remind you that next year will be 10 years since you put out your first album. AL: It's insane and since I started writing my first album, since I was 16, I've been literally living this for 10 years at this point, but yeah, it's crazy. KB: What do you recall about that young teen, right before "Let Go" was coming out? AL: [Pauses]. I was so innocent. I was super-young. I just loved music. And it happens. And I still can't believe that it did. And every day, I'm super-grateful. And I still can't believe it, you know? Definitely for me, a dream come true and I'm so appreciative and I'm so grateful. I'm here and I'm making the best of it and having as much fun as I can. KB: Is it more work or more fun than you imagined back then? AL: It was a lot of work in the beginning. And I was young. I've learned to find a good balance between not exhausting yourself by over-working and enjoying it because it's music. It's fun! But it gets to be hard when you're gone on the road for two years and you're away from your friends and your family and your body takes a toll. So I've learned how to keep a balance, to make sure that I enjoy myself. I work hard, do what I need to do, but you gotta have fun with what you're doing. It's really important. KB: Some people want to be famous. That's their goal, which is a hard goal, but you were the shy kid who loved music and had a fantastic voice and wanted to write songs. And on that first album, you became massive and have stayed there. Have you settled into fame nicely as you've gotten into your 20s? It's funny because living in Los Angeles, everyone wants to be famous. Everybody wants to be either an actor or a singer or this-that, but their intention is that they want to be famous and rich. And my intention as a little girl -- I didn't even know that this was really an option -- I loved to sing and wanted to be onstage, whether it was being in my parents' family room in front of the guests or being up onstage in my high school, singing the Dixie Chicks [laughs] or singing around town or even singing in the mall in Toronto. I just wanted to sing, and so it came from a pure place. And I'm glad it did because it's something that I love. And so it was super genuine. Source xo Friday Dawn

Avril Lavigne interview med AOL Music!

Yay, nyt interview! Her kommer vi ind på nogle lidt andre ting, som ikke har været oppe i de sidste par interviews! Læs det her!

Avril Lavigne on Her 'Emotionally Raw' New Record, Deryck Whibley + Why She Won't Appear on Reality TV

Avril Lavigne has moved beyond the teen sensation tag, leaving behind the mall-punk posturing and angsty girl hiding behind sweeping bangs and heavy eyeliner. With four albums under her no-longer-studded belt, Lavigne has proven staying power and, based on her latest album 'Goodbye Lullaby,' the new-found maturity suits her well.

About to embark on a cross-country tour of her Canadian homeland -- the jaunt kicks off Oct. 1 in Victoria, B.C. -- the singer, who moonlights as a fashion designer and Ford model, spoke to AOL about her "emotionally raw" new record, why single 'Wish You Were Here' was brought about by ex-husband and Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, her reality TV star boyfriend Brody Jenner (yup, from the infamous Kardashian/Jenner clan) and why she'd, like, totally be aNirvana groupie if the band was still around.

You wrote 'Darlin',' one of the songs off 'Goodbye Lullaby,' nearly a decade ago. Why record it all these years later? 

I learned that song in Napanee in my parents family room and every time I hear it I totally think about that room. That was before I even had a record deal or anything; I was 14 or 15 when I wrote it. So it totally brings back memories. It was also always one of those songs I remembered and I was always playing it for my friends. Oddly enough, Deryck produced the song. The day I met him -- when I was, like, 17 and 'Complicated' was just coming out -- we were in Vancouver with his band, all hanging out, and I played him that song and then like eight years later he produced it. He remembered it and was like, "Let's record this song." So we did.You've said your new single 'Wish You Were Here' really shows off your vulnerable side. A lot of people assume the lyrics are about your divorce from Deryck?

People will always make their assumptions. I never really get into exact detail about what my songs are about. I put them out there and hope they inspire people. The message with 'Wish You Were Here' is looking back and remembering all the good times and missing somebody. And we all go through missing someone at some point in our lives, whether it's someone we've separated from or had a falling out with. I'm really happy to have this song be released, it really represents this album.

I'm really happy to have this song be released, it really represents this album.

Since releasing 'Goodbye Lullaby' in March, you've toured all over the world. Are there any standout moments from backstage or meeting fans that have stayed with you?

Right now there's a few different girls that have been traveling around to every show and they're in the front row -- and that's very dedicated, that's hardcore, they're like No. 1 fans. So stuff like that is really cool, and to meet them and hug them. I like jumping into the pit, the crowd, and seeing people cry when I touch their hands. That's special.If you were in a different place and time, is there a band you'd follow from city to city as their No. 1 fan?

Probably Nirvana. When I was younger I really loved them and really loved rock 'n' roll music with bands like Blink 182and Pennywise. That's the kind of stuff I liked, headbanging stuff.So far, has there been one 'Goodbye Lullaby' track that audiences have identified with the most?

Every country is different with the requests people make.Do you listen to requests?

I do. I ask people stuff over Twitter. Like, "What do you guys want to hear tonight?" I love Twitter for that, because you get a response right away. It's really, really cool.And now you get to ask your Canadian fans what they want to hear what with your big cross-country tour. How does it feel to be coming home? Will you visit Napanee?

I'm excited to be back. I get to see my family and my old friends from high-school, and it brings back memories from my childhood. And everyone is always so warm. My family doesn't live [in Napanee] anymore but I always try to stop in at La Pizzeria and talk to the owners. They have a pizza called the Avril Lavigne Pizza.

Avril Lavigne interviewe med Jam Music!

Læs hele Avril's interview med Jam Music! Avril Lavigne is all grown up By DARRYL STERDAN, QMI Agency Avril Lavigne's life is still complicated.  At the ripe age of 27, the Canadian singer-guitarist is all grown up. She's a music-biz vet who's sold millions of albums over the past decade. She's divorced from Sum 41 rocker Deryck Whibley -- an experience that fueled the sombre tone of her fourth CD Goodbye Lullaby. And she's a businesswoman whose ventures include fragrances and a clothing line. But the Ontario pop-rocker -- who doesn't seem to have aged a day since exploding onto the radar with 2002's Let Go -- insists she still connects with the girl who sang Sk8er Boi in a wifebeater and tie. "I absolutely still connect with my older songs," insists Lavigne. "They're still so close to me. They're a part of me. Yes, I've grown up a lot and changed a lot. On each album, I've progressed. And I have different sides to me. So my music is diverse. There are different moods, different tones, different styles and vibes. But it's all my music. And I still connect with all of it."  Beginning Oct. 1, Lavigne will connect with Canadian fans when her Black Star tour kicks off a 16-date run from Victoria to Montreal. From a stop in Paris, Lavigne called up to talk about baguettes, being an old soul and bucking trends. You've been doing a lot of travelling lately. Do you still enjoy it? A lot of artists find it tiresome. "I'm actually enjoying travelling more than I ever have before. I think now that I'm older, I view it differently. Today I'm in Paris, and I'm like, 'Let's go eat some baguettes. Let's go have some pommes frites.' I have a different appreciation for it. I try to take advantage of being in certain cities, and I bring my friends out with me now. It's important to have a balance. Before it was just work, work, work. And I was so young that maybe I didn't understand how awesome it was to travel internationally. So yeah, it's actually better now." You've lived in L.A. for years. What does touring Canada mean to you? "Well, Canada's still home for me. It'll always be home. And when I come to tour in Canada, it's different. My family comes out to the shows. My friends from high school come out. My old neighbours. And there's everything I grew up with in Canada -- certain foods, the weather, everything like that. It's always special and a lot of fun and a good time. It's just nice to come back." You've had a tumultuous time the last few years. Is the stage a comfort zone for you? "Music is a great escape in all sorts of different ways. When I walk out on stage and I'm singing songs and people are having fun, I'm having fun. When I'm writing my songs, I'm expressing myself and it's very healthy for me as an artist and as a sensitive, emotional person. To me, it's just good no matter what." You've changed a lot in the past decade. How do you feel when you listen to your old songs and videos? "It's interesting hearing some of my old recordings. I can hear the difference in my voice and my performance level. And looking at the older music videos, it is absolutely like looking back at an old photo album. It's cool to see myself. I was so young." Do you feel now that maybe you were too young? Do you wish in hindsight you'd had a more normal teenage life? "I had such a normal life -- a textbook normal life. I grew up in a very normal home. I went to school, played sports, played hockey, the whole Canadian thing. This all happened to me when I was 16. So I was young, but I think I was an older soul. I was very independent, always. So I was ready to take all that on at a young age. I don't feel like I missed out on anything. And the total experience has brought so much to me that I never would have had otherwise." Goodbye Lullaby is about some big changes in your life. Are those more difficult songs to perform? "There are a couple. The song Goodbye, for instance, is the most vulnerable song I've ever written in my career. I've never done it live. It's really emotional. It was really hard to perform in the studio. If you listen to it, you can kind of get that vibe out of it. There are a couple of songs on this album that are really real and honest. I allowed myself to be vulnerable and not hold back. That's what this album kind of stands for. But because this is a new album, I only perform about half the songs live anyway. And the songs that I chose off this one were the ones that kind of fit into the show: The singles and the fun ones." This album seemed to throw some people for a loop, as if they didn't want you to change. How does that make you feel as an artist? "Well, I live my life for myself. I definitely don't live my life trying to please other people. That would be my message to my fans: Be who you are. Know who you are. Go after your dreams. Don't try to please anybody but yourself, because you won't be happy. That's my motto. And when it comes to making music, artistically I'm going to do what I need to do. This record is a more song-driven, personal and introspective record. It's a record I'm really proud of. But the trend on radio is dance, pop, urban. I didn't make that kind of record. I didn't want to keep making the same record over and over. I wanted to stretch. I set goals and pushed myself. And I had a couple of challenges with my record company. But you've gotta do things for yourself in order to be happy." xo Friday Dawn
