To some, today’s Avril Lavigne may be a shadow of her former self, known now as she who sang that catchy “Girlfriend” song a few years back and married/divorced Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley. In more simpler times, she was a sk8er girl, lamenting about how things were so “Complicated” and butchering Metallica songs on “MTV Icon.”
Avril Lavigne to Release ‘Goodbye Lullaby’ Album in March
Those pining for those days of yore, take note. A new video surfaced this week for the Canadian pop star’s song “Mobile,” which was shot nearly a decade ago in 2002.
Video: Avril Lavigne, “Mobile”
The song was featured on Lavigne’s 2003 debut album “Let Go” and was released as a single in Australia. The music video, which was abruptly shelved following its release, features Lavigne and Lavigne alone — guitar over her shoulder — and an angsty song about life on the road in her throat.
The video is simple enough, but for those craving old-school Avril (who debuted her new single “What the Hell” on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve), this brief return to the punk-pop princess of 2002 is welcomed.
