Avril's official German site states that she recorded a new song, "Keep Holding On", which will be soundtrack to Eragon (December 15th). The song will be available for download on the same day. The song  will also be the lead single for her third studio album due April 2007.

Hot "Breakaway" type promoting?

[H.A.T.E. U]

I don't know why, but I have a feeling this will be similar to "Breakaway." I could be wrong though.

[Punchanello]

For Eragon? WTF

For those of you who don't know about that movie, its a fantasy tale about a dragon. Imagine if the Harry Potter movies had Avril in their soundtracks.

Eeek

Hopefully it's a good song, god knows us Canadians will be force fed it regardless.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

I don't know if Avril is in the position anymore where she should risk a soundtrack single before her album comes out, but I wish her the best. It really depends on the material. She's kind of at a fork in her career- if it's good, radio will still play her because she's still young and accessible... and if it's bad, she's over because you don't take a break this long after a semi-sophomore slump and get more than one chance.

NEW CANCON LEGISLATION!

I think she did great with her last album. Two top 11 and 2.7 million copies sold,
I loved that.

Impacts November 28th

[Hey Hey You You On Sundays]

I actually am looking forward to this. Get that hot smash Avril.

[H.A.T.E. U]

I can't wait. It should leak any day now!

[Hey Hey You You On Sundays]

Apparently, Dr. Luke produced this single.

[tozion]

SMASH!

[Hey Hey You You On Sundays]

Avril confirmed it in a message she left for fans, but Luke says it is different from songs like SUBG and U&Ur Hand.

[tozion]

Yeah. It's probably kind of like the song he did for Chris Daughtry or a "Behind These Hazel Eyes" type.

[Hey Hey You You On Sundays]

He actually said this is his first 6/8 song.

[That Skipping Rope.]

I look forward to hearing this one.

[Hey Hey You You On Sundays]

I am excited too hella super smash.

[Grenade]

Can't wait! I've been waiting for some new Avril.

[H.A.T.E. U]

This was posted at another board.

Hey guys.

How's it going!
I am in the studio right now as you know.
Fox approached me to write a song for their movie, "Eragon". They showed me the trailer
and talked about it. It's going to be a very big movie for them and everyone is really excited. So I worked on a couple different ballad type songs, and the one they ended up using is called, "Keep Holding On".

This song was specifically written for the movie. It was challenging writing lyrics that had to go exactly with the movie. It was a new experience for me and I learned a lot.
I was writing about strength, power, and destiny, while keeping in line with the story of the film. Dr. Luke also worked with me on this track.

This song however, is no indication of what the rest of the record is like. You guys are in for a big surprise. AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!


Later,
Avril

Go Avril! Get them royalties, girl!

Avril really does know how to be a successful writer. I can see her being totally washed up as an artist in 10 years but still writing hits.

[Hey Hey You You On Sundays]

Yeah earn that money Avril.

I dont know if that makes sense. You say she doesnt know how to write, yet in a decade she wont be an artist, but still be around to write hits?

How can she still be writing hits 10 years from now if she doesnt know how to be a successful writer?

Then maybe this will be another "Breakaway" after all. "Breakaway" was in 6/8 too.

[duh5]

I'm surprised this hasn't leaked yet.
