Avril Lavigne: Let Me Go ft. Chad Kroeger

Well, it was bound to happen. The two perennial radio favourites tied the knot after all, despite the collective willpower of the Internet, so it was only a matter of time before they teamed up on a single release as well.

Avril loves a lilting 6/8 track, and Kroeger has long swam in the murky waters of big, empty sentiment, so obviously this big, brooding, Evanescence-esque power ballad will be impossible for radio programmers to ignore.

Lavigne delivers a vocal performance that reminds us that she can belt with the best of them, while Kroeger, as usual, is so awash in effects that he sounds like an underwater Vedder-bot. Hopefully the title proves prescient.
