Unapologetically original. Unabashedly in your face. Avril Lavigne's 2002 debut Let Go gave young women a defiant voice set to music they could rock out to. Twenty million albums and eight Grammy nominations later, the Canadian chanteuse returns with Under My Skin but if you're expecting a whole lot of the same, you've got another thing coming. This is not a girl who rests on her laurels. 2005 is already shaping up to be a huge year for Avril, she leads this year's Juno awards with five nominations, including Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year. She is also embarking on a massive summer tour that includes stops in 15 Canadian cities and shows in Asia, Australia and Europe.

Under My Skin opens with the dramatic tracks "Take Me Away" and "Together," which set the scene for the kick-ass guitars and radio-ready chorus of "Don't Tell Me," a song of willful female empowerment that picks up where "Complicated" left off. From there three-chord guitar licks ("He Wasn't") and head-bopping optimism ("Who Knows") alongside ("Freak Out") and moody tracks ("Forgotten,"and "Nobody's Home") reveal a darker side of Avril Lavigne.

Still flaunting sassy vocals and a crystal clear voice, Under My Skin is sure to get under yours. Optimistic or melancholic, Avril's two-year wild-ride on the rock-star express has shaped her world view. Now Canada’s going to see what she's really made of when she brings her blazing live show back to our shores. Don't miss her!
