Track List for Avril’s 5th

Napanee, Ontario’s Avril Lavigne has sold 35 million records worldwide, won 7 JUNO awards, and scored 20 Top 40 hit singles in Canada. She will be releasing her eponymous 5th studio album on November 5. Today, the album track listing was unveiled, and we are pleased to share it with you. Handling production and co-writing credits with Avril and new husband, Nickleback frontman Chag Kroeger, are Martin Johnson and David Hodges. Martin is the lead singer of U.S. band Boys Like Girls and has worked with Taylor Swift, Daughtry, and Hot Chelle Rae. David is a former member of the successful band Evanescence and has produced/written songs for Kelly Clarkson, Reba McEntire, and Carrie Underwood. The new Avril Lavigne album will contain 13 tracks, two of which have already been released as singles, the #17 hit “Here’s to Never Growing Up”, platinum in the U.S. and Australia, and “Rock N Roll” which has entered the Canadian Hot 100 at #37. “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” appears to be a Lavigne original even though it echoes the title of Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s most successful single. The album contains two collaborations, “Let Me Go” with Chad and “Bad Girl” with Marilyn Manson.

Céline Dion’s Loved Me Back to Life Official Track List

 At home, Céline Dion has scored 34 Top 40 singles, six diamond albums, and 20 JUNO awards. Worldwide, she has received some 175 awards and has sold an estimated 200 million records. She is the best-selling Canadian recording artist of all-time and is ranked 9th in the world. Loved Me Back to Life is the name of her upcoming studio album, her first Anglophone release since 2007’s Taking Chances. Last year, her Francophone Sans Attendre was certified triple platinum at home, the year’s most successful album from a domestic recording artist. Loved Me Back to Life will be released November 5 and can already be pre-ordered through the usual outlets.

As to be expected, the team involved in making the album included some of the world’s top songwriters and producers. This time around, Céline has opted mainly for those involved in the R&B dominion of music. Loved Me Back to Life was produced by Tricky Stewart responsible for #1 hits “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé, “Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey, “Me Against the Music” by Britney Spears, and “Umbrella” by Rihanna. Also onboard the production team was Babyface who has won ten American Grammy Awards. Below is the official track list with notes on some of them.

Loved Me Back to Life Official Track List

1. “Loved Me Back to Life”
This is the album’s opening song, title track, and lead single, currently available for download via iTunes. You can preview the entire song on SoundCloud (see below). The song was composed by Australian recording artist Sia Furler who was the featured vocalist on David Guetta’s “Titanium” and who co-wrote Rihanna’s “Diamonds”. Dion performed it live in Québec City at the end of July and is scheduled for U.S. chat show performances on Jimmy Kimmel September 6 and Ellen DeGeneres September 11. Please note that most of the lyrics for the song posted online are wrong. Celine’s team should release the official lyrics in due course.

2. “Somebody Loves Somebody”
This track was produced by Swedish trio Play Production and co-composed by American singer-songwriter Audra Mae (who incidentally is actress Judy Garland’s great-great niece).

3. “Incredible” (with Ne-Yo)
Ne-Yo is an American artist who has scored a couple of Top 10 hits in Canada. He previously worked with Céline on her Taking Chances album, co-writing and co-producing “I Got Nothin’ Left”. This new track is a duet and Ne-Yo commented that singing with Céline made him question his own vocal ability.

4. “Water and a Flame”
The original song was recorded by Australian singer Daniel Merriweather and featured Adele. It was not a big hit. We expect that to change with Céline’s version.

5. “Breakaway”

6. “Save Your Soul”
This was composed by Colombian artist Danny Mercer who has worked with Pitbull, The Wanted, and will.i.am.

7. “Didn’t Know Love”
This was co-written by Britain’s Francis “Eg” White who has worked with such stars as Adele, Will Young, and James Blunt.

8. “Thank You”
Composed by the aforementioned Ne-Yo.

9. “Overjoyed” (with Stevie Wonder)
Céline has performed this in her Las Vegas shows. Stevie Wonder needs no introduction and wrote and performed the original, a U.S. Top 30 hit in 1986. He rearranged and reworked the song for Céline.

10. “Thankful”

11. “At Seventeen”
This is a cover of the original Janis Ian song which was a U.S. Billboard #3 hit in 1975.

12. “Always Be Your Girl”

13. “Unfinished Songs”
This was written by Diane Warren and was featured in the British film Song for Marion though not included on the soundtrack as it was to be saved for the Céline Dion album.

Deluxe Edition Bonus Tracks

14. “How Do You Keep the Music Playing”

15. “Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)”
This is a cover of the Billy Joel song from his 1993 album River of Dreams.
