Nearly four years after the release of "The Best Damn Thing," Avril Lavigne has finally set a date for her long-awaited fourth studio album.

在距上一张专辑 The Best Damn Thing　发行四年之久后，朋克小魔女艾薇儿确定了粉丝期待已久的第四张专辑发售日期。

The Canadian pop star will drop her new set, entitled "Goodbye Lullaby," March 8 on RCA Records.

She will premiere its first single, "What the Hell," during a performance on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" on December 31.

这张新专辑被命名为 Goodbye Lullaby　，将于今年3月8日通过RCA唱片旗下发行。

首波单曲 what the hell　于2010年12月31日在纽约跨年演唱会上首次演出。

Lavigne told Billboard last February that the album, which will include tracks like "Stop Standing There," "Push" and "Goodbye," would feature a "somewhat more raw" sound than her previous output.

上周二，艾薇儿向 告示牌　杂志披露了新专辑中的几首歌名 Stop Standing There　 Push　 Goodbye　，较以往的专辑相比，这张专辑将会多一些原始”的声音。

In a letter to fans , Lavigne sounded off about the delayed release of "Goodbye Lullaby," which has reportedly been finished for over a year.

在写给歌迷的信中，艾薇儿解释了这张已被报道一年的专辑推迟发行的原因。

"This has been a really difficult record for me to create and to release," she wrote.

"Not only is this the most meaningful and special record I have written, it is sincere, honest and close to my heart.

But for the first time I experienced a bunch ofbureaucratic BS.

People do their best work when they are doing what they want, love and is natural for them, not when you are forcing them to be something that they are not.

"创作和发行这张专辑对我来说真的是一个艰难的过程。

”她写道，这不仅因为这张专辑是我的创作中最有意义和最特别的，它真诚直率，直抒心意，更因为我第一次经历了诸多无奈的事情。

当人们去做他们想做的事情，他们总会拿出最好的作品，而如果是被迫做自己不喜欢的事是不会有成果的。
