Mmkay, can we not with the Kesha and Hilary Duff shade? They've done nothing wrong here! /Hilary Duff and Kesha were built with sugar, spice and Avril lite |

Anyway, stream Dumb Blonde for clear skin. Music video is rumored to play with the "Melissa" conspiracy theory, and she reportedly has asked Paris Hilton, Kesha, Britney Spears, and Taylor to take part in the video. Whether they've accepted or not is unknown. not a huge fan of the song but we may have to stan if that music video actually happens |

Avril really hasn’t moved on past 2013 XD. Doesn’t help that her attempt at lyrics about “empowerment” sound beyond cliche and dated.

But did they really think adding a rapper on this would make it appeal to Rhythmic leaning stations in any way? This is so the opposite of what is currently popular on ANY of the formats she used to smash on (Pop/HAC/AC/Alternative(?)) it's not even funny. But at the same time it's such a desperate attempt at a hit. This ain't even shade I promise.

Will someone remind me again why "Tell Me It's Over" was never pushed to radio? Because I'm already seeing people in here with that "lol, Avril doing the same shit again" shtick thanks to them pushing this. It's so damn frustrating. Sure, it may not have been a hit, but damn it this won't be either. Ugh.

At least the Little Mix song was a bop and an easy UK hit... this, or that Zayn song... nah. |

She tried the serious song, Head above water but pop wouldn't touch it. What do you expect her to do? She needs to get a pop hit.

Sure, it may not have been a hit, but damn it this won't be either. Ugh. Lolz, who cares about those people. When Avril released different type of songs like TMIO or HAW, they are nowhere to be seen. At least this get to the third page, means that she gets some attention for this. |

"Tell Me It's Over" should've been the proper second single. That song sounded like the type of hit she needed. This one is fun and I like it more than I probably should (which is how I feel about a lot of her songs like this #guiltypleasures), but I don't see "Dumb Blonde" doing much of anything for her. "Tell Me It's Over" felt fresh and different for her and I think it could've done pretty well for her on radio, but I imagine "Dumb Blonde" will probably make a bit of a splash in the streaming/social media circles up front to get her some attention before the album drops, even if I can't see it doing that well on radio. Still gonna bop to it though even if/when it flops, and I'm very excited for the new album. ETA: Also I just looked at the Wikipedia page for this song and apparently the critics love this because it's basically gotten rave reviews from every publication sourced there, so maybe she's onto something after all.  |

That was a hit. This...is not. Edit: Oh shit. I just realized Bonnie McKee co-wrote this. So, yeah...anyone who was crowing about how she should work with Katy Perry to get Katy more hits should be silenced. |

This is typical bratty Avril, so I'm not sure if it's Bonnie's fault. |

What The Hell, Smile and Rock n Roll were legit bops but she’s never going to get a hit even with stuff as catchy as that in 2019. Like Christina, something more serious like “Say Something” would go over better for the GP. We all know she’s capable of going deeper, stuff like this actually shows her age even more. |

"Bigger Wow" sounds like the most reasonable attempt at getting a pop hit. This is like "Pretty Girls" with less star power.
I do like it though.

Is this groundbreaking? No. It's trashy fun. And more upbeat and memorable than what most of the pop girls are doing nowadays. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I really miss pop music being fun and sassy, and that's what this is.

This is typical bratty Avril, so I'm not sure if it's Bonnie's fault. I was thinking about this - this is the only credit in the past couple of years. I think Bonnie sort of stopped writing after she tried her own career, sadly. I think she's currently unsigned. :( I feel like she wrote this years ago at a songwriting camp and Avril's team has just been sitting on it. |

Nothing about this song is good. And there isn't a single thing about it that's a hit. Not 15 years ago, not today, not in the year 3000. The fact that this even made it past the demo stage shows just how lost she is as an artist.

Look, I could understand that if this was Alessia Cara, or someone relatively new that has a chance to get back on radio's good side. But Avril has seen diminishing returns for every single era since her huge debut. This is the stage of your career when you start building some artistic credibility instead of chasing random hits. She's not getting a pop hit anyways. In the end she's getting no hits and no respect. For all the talk about maturity and growing up and trying to put her struggles into songs like "Head Above Water", this feels like a huge regression. |
