Yes, you read that title correctly, I'm declaring Avril Lavigne the new Queen of Pop. Now many people would question this but those who know anything about anything will realize its the complete truth. Case in point: Girlfriend, her new single. Now, not only is the single available in English, Avril has gone the extra mile and recorded the chorus in seven other languages. Now these might seem like cheap gimmickry to some cynical minds but in reality this is the best move she could make. The single is endlessly listenable because, honestly, what's funnier than listening to Avril singing in Mandrin?
Separate languages alone do not an awesome single make however. The single itself boils down everything that makes a great pop song into one great tune. Clocking in at just over three minutes, it's the perfect length for a great radio pop hit. The thing features hand clap breakdowns for pete's sake. Basically this is the equation for this song: Baycity Rollers + Ramones+ The Go-Gos= Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend."
