NEW DELHI - Canadian pop singer Avril Lavigne says her upcoming album has more to do with emotion and feeling.

The singer says that she’s taking a more serious, stripped-down approach to her fourth studio album, tentatively slated for a November release on RCA, reports the China Daily.

“A lot of the songs are mainly the acoustic and my vocal,” Lavigne told Billboard.com.

“It’s a lot different from anything I’ve done before. It’s not a pop-rock record. This is more about emotion and feeling,” she added.

Lavigne’s hubby Deryck Whibley produced eight of the as-yet-untitled album’s projected 12 tracks, half of which she wrote by her herself.

For the other half, she’s collaborated with former bandmate Evan Taubenfield and songwriter/producer Butch Walker.

“I’m kind of just keeping it in the family with all of my close friends. I started this record off really slow, just writing songs at home on my piano. I didn’t work with a ton of people this time,” Lavigne said. (ANI)
