AVRIL LAVIGNE - Let Go 2xLP (Turqoise vinyl)

Label: Sony / Legacy

Avril Lavigne's debut album Let Go remains a significant pop punk milestone. Emerging from Napanee, Ontario, Lavigne swiftly transitioned from singing Pentecostal hymns to winning a singing contest to perform with Shania Twain. By 2002, she transformed into a pop-punk icon, delivering hits like 'Complicated' and 'Sk8er Boi.' Her collaboration with the Matrix production team brought forth a blend of scrappy attitude and polished pop melodies, resulting in genre-defining tracks. Songs like 'I'm With You' and 'Anything but Ordinary' showcased her emotional depth and vocal prowess. Let Go's success, now certified platinum seven times over, paved the way for alternative-influenced pop, influencing a generation of artists and solidifying Lavigne's legacy. Now reissued on turquoise vinyl, Let Go continues to resonate as a raw and vibrant portrayal of teenage angst and authenticity.
