Avril Lavigne – Hot – Single Review
Well folks, she underwhelmed with her last single When You’re Gone, but can Avril Improve with new single Hot?
In Hot, she’s taken the tempo up a bit and dabbles a bit in S&M lyrics – “I wanna lock you up in my closet” etc. Apparently, the song’s a dribbling tribute to her new husband Deryck Whibley (of Sum 41 fame).
“You’re so fabulous”, she croons, “You’re so good to me. Bay-bee. Bay-bee…” It’s all very cutesy. Don’t you just love all this lovey-dovey stuff? No? Me neither.
On a positive note, the chorus isn’t too bad: a kind of stomping, arms in the air type of track. Unfortunately, that edge that you associate with Avril Lavigne is nowhere to be found. What’s replacing it is lacklustre songwriting and performing. Avril’s becoming more the manufactured pop star with each new release – despite the perfect punk princess facade, she’s failing to convince us anymore.
This single’s not so much Hot as lukewarm.
Here’s video evidence for you…from The Friday Night Project:
