Grade: B+
Avril Lavigne hits back hard with her album “Goodbye Lullaby” after her divorce with Sum 41’s lead singer Deryck Whibley. Less mainstream than her last album, Lavigne writes from the heart about her experiences in the past four years, pulling material predominantly from her new single status and her divorce. Channelling P!nk’s “Funhouse,” Lavigne puts a slight punk-rock spin on it, making it her own. Standout tracks include “Push,” “Smile” and “I Love You.” The album is fun, an easy listen and a decent addition to her impressive discography.
