After her latest record focused on her fight for survival as she battled Lyme disease, Love Sux is set to see Avril return to her pop punk roots.
The album’s first two singles, Bite Me and Love It When You Hate Me, are both reminiscent of her third studio album, The Best Damn Thing, in their fiery lyrics and guitar-driven sound.
Love Sux includes features with Machine Gun Kelly, blackbear and Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 – making this the most she has ever had on an album after Avril Lavigne’s two (Marilyn Manson and Chad Kroeger) and Head Above Water’s one (Nicki Minaj).
