It has been revealed by Avril Lavigne that she has collaborated with Marilyn Manson for a track on her upcoming album, set to be released this year.
Titled ‘Bad Girl’, this unexpected collaboration is described by Lavigne as one of the album’s “heavier” songs. “The record’s really diverse,” she explained. “We’ve got these pop-rock tunes, and then these piano ballads with orchestras.”
“I have a song called ‘Bad Girl’ featuring Marilyn Manson, which is heavier, and then there’s ‘Hello Kitty’ that sounds unlike anything I’ve done before.” The new track ‘Here’s To Never Growing Up’ includes the lyrics: “Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs, with the boombox blaring as we’re falling in love.” Lavigne noted that this track, co-written with her fiancé Chad Kroeger, is “one of the rock tunes on the album, but it’s all over the place.”
Late last year, the Canadian pop-punk artist released ‘How You Remind Me’ by Kroeger’s band Nickelback, which will be featured in the soundtrack of a new anime film One Piece Film Z.
On another note, Marilyn Manson recently raised concerns when he collapsed on stage in February.
