Music News: Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun Team Up For Power Song, “Flames”
By Ashley Gallagher
Mod Sun and Avril Lavigne have teamed up for a new powerful, punk rock-infused anthem, “Flames,” for Mod Sun’s upcoming album. This is Lavigne’s first release since Head Above Water, which debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200 in 2019.
“Avril Lavigne has one of my favorite voices in music,” says Mod Sun. “It’s so strong and confident, yet filled with emotion and one-of-a-kind inflections that only her voice can do. This song holds a lot more weight than meets the eye. There’s a very deep message within it.”
“Mod and I had an immediate connection from the first day in the studio,” says Avril Lavigne. “He’s an incredible artist and producer. This is the first of many. Proud of what we made with ‘Flames.’”
Mod Sun is also gearing up for the release of his first movie project, “Downfalls High,” with Machine Gun Kelly. They co-wrote and directed the movie, which will be released January 15, 2021 and features Travis Barker, Chase Hudson, Sydney Sweeney and an all-star ensemble cast. Mod Sun also co-wrote Kelly’s “Bloody Valentine”, which was named the #1 Rock Song of 2020 by Billboard, Certified Gold in Canada and won “Best Alternative” at the 2020 MTV VMAs.
