Well, according to Lavigne herself in her recent NYLON cover story, it’s the album she’s “wanted to make for whole career.” Big Thief The Queen of pop-punk is making her return to music in February 2022 with a brand new album of pop-punk tunes.
It’s lead single, “Poison” featuring The Weeknd, is already out, and Blackground Records founder and Aaliyah’s uncle Barry Hankerson has already confirmed that the project will include features from Drake, Future, and others. AaliyahĪaliyah’s first posthumous album, Unstoppable, is set to arrive sometime in 2022.
