Avril Lavigne will reissue her debut album with bonus tracks later this year.
The singer’s first LP catapulted her into the global charts with hits such as Complicated, Sk8er Boi and I’m With You.
Two decades on, the singer-songwriter is set to revisit the project with a re-release packaged with previously-unheard demos from the original sessions.
“It feels crazy. 20 years! It does and it doesn’t feel like it… it kinda flew by, right,” said Avril (via Uproxx).
“I’m really excited to be celebrating it this year. I’m getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame around the anniversary.
“I’m planning on doing some fun shows that are just songs from that album. There’s a re-release of the album happening with some demos on it.
“It’s so crazy that it’s been 20 years.”
Avril recently returned to the charts with her seventh studio album ‘Love Sux’, featuring the singles Bite Me and Love It When You Hate Me.
In a review of the album, Retro Pop called ‘Love Sux’ a “pop-punk masterpiece” and praised “the level of life and energy in every recording – something that’s not been so well captured since Avril’s 2007 LP ‘The Best Damn Thing’.”
‘Love Sux’ is available on CD and cassette.
