Funny, because that song is the complete opposite of what you said for me. I really like the production, the backing track but I can't hear the interesting melodies.

Well, this song is not the case, but in American Girl the production was pretty weak and generic, for example.

Actually, I think American Girl is a really good song but it doesn't suit her style.

And I wouldn't say that about producers, actually I think it's a direction problem.
That's why this is not working.

I didn't know she was released from her contract with Epic last year.

She released the new EP without a label. I had to support her and to buy it.
And I liked it..

Believe me, after cowriting these huge global hit songs, she's not poor.

What direction would you see for her?

I would say that she's hot as hell but hey...the lady is thirtysomething acting like she's twentysomething.

She's amazingly hot.
I'd suggest her to keep it as a songwriter or stop the full pop thing.
She's really into fashion and trends and she could do some things really interesting with her image: maybe to tone down her image and stop singing in a higher register.
Everything is so over the top and seems forced to me.

I'm excited about a the song she recorded with Major Lazer, for example.

Well, what to say about Avril Lavigne then? :)
I think the main audience is people under 30, or even less, so that's why they want to fit that age and not seem old for younger generation.

It's a good example - she didn't have a major hit since 2010.

EP is now available worldwide. Not a single song as good as "American Girl". But overall a nice teaser for the hopefully upcoming album. (With Max songs  ::))
And I liked it..

Sampler of her EP coming out next week:

Easy sounds excellent.

unfortunately that's the only song I like from the EP but EASY is really brilliant!

Bonnie being honest about her careeer.

In some ways, "Bombastic" takes me back to the raw sound of your debut LP from 2004.
You know, my first album is so painful for me to listen to.

Why is that?
I really can't even handle it. It just came from a really dark time in my life. It was also before I had been touched by any of the industry songwriting rules — I hadn't worked with Max Martin or Dr. Luke yet, so I didn't know the songwriting rules. It was just my raw teenage instinct, so there are a lot of mistakes on it. When I listen to it I'm like, "Why did I do it that way?", if I'd written now I would have done it so differently.
