Yet another teen pop star is starting to come out of the folds. And even better, this one is from Canada, the land of Shania Twain and Celine Dion.

Seventeen-year-old Avril Lavigne has made quite an impression on the pop music scene with her song ‘Complicated’ and album ‘Let Go.’

Lavigne’s song are not of the likes of her pop companions such as Britney Spears and Pink or the more mature Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton. Lavigne’s voice may be like past pop stars such as Lisa Loeb and Natalie Imbruglia but her music that compares more closely to that of the angst driven Alanis Morisette or even punkish enough to be like Sum 41 with her catchy lyrics and guitar driven vocals that pop up occasionally on the album.

Lavigne is a skater punk rocker at heart and shows it with her punkish attitude on ‘Sk8er Boi’ while she shows her softer more wise side on songs like ‘Losing Grip’ and ‘I’m With You.’

Lavigne is sure to be on the fast track to success. After all, it only took her a year and a half to land a record deal with Arista Records ran by the famous Antonio “LA” Reid.

Originally, Lavigne thought that she would spend a lot of time putting out a demo and writing after she sent out a video to Nettwerk Records and they were interested in her.

After a short time, Reid went to the studio where Lavigne was recording and decided to sign Lavigne after hearing and watching her perform only a couple songs.

“Let Go” debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart this week at number eight. Her single “Complicated” is currently at number 30 after four weeks on the Hot 100 singles chart. Last week Lavigne ranked in at number 44 on the Hot 100.
