After making waves online teasing images with Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun in the studio, today officially marks the first of hopefully many Avril Lavigne pop-punk-leaning tracks in 2021.
Teaming up with Mod Sun for his emotional duet dubbed “Flames,” this marks Lavigne’s first official release since her 2019 album Head Above Water.
Commenting on the collaboration, charismatic emcee Mod Sun said, “Avril Lavigne has one of my favorite voices in music. It’s so strong and confident, yet filled with emotion and one-of-a-kind inflections that only her voice can do. This song holds a lot more weight than meets the eye. There’s a very deep message within it.”
As for the “Sk8er Boi” queen of the early 2000′s, Lavigne notes, “Mod and I had an immediate connection from the first day in the studio. He’s an incredible artist and producer. This is the first of many. Proud of what we made with ‘Flames.’”
