CD contains 4 bonus tracks.
Headstrong and fiercely independent, 17-year-old Avril Lavigne makes a huge splash with her debut LET GO, a collection of confessional songs with attitude reminiscent of fellow prodigy/Canuck Alanis Morissette. Collaborating with producer/songwriter Clif Magness, Lavigne avoids the credibility pitfalls plaguing the brigade of bubble-gum divas that ruled the charts in the late '90s and early millennium by penning her own material.
Blessed with a voice that makes her sound ten years older, the self-professed tomboy assuredly asserts herself in relationships (the sing-along breakout hit "Complicated"), admits to emotional vulnerability (a stark "Naked"), and delivers a breezy summation of her life and dreams (the pop manna "My World"). Aided by a simple three-piece back-up band Lavigne and her stellar debut could very well end up picking up where Alanis and JAGGED LITTLE PILL left off.
Editorial Reviews
2 stars out of 5 - It's a polished collection of songsof teenage angst full of guitar-driven hooks...between Nelly Furtado and Alanis Morissette.
Uncut (10/01/2002)
3 stars out of 5 - ...The missing link between Britney Spears and Blink-182...
Q (09/01/2002)
3 stars out of 5 - ...A dozen infectious hymns of TOTAL REQUEST angst...none of which would matter if Lavigne didn't have a voice, equal parts baby girl and husky siren...
