After a three year break from the music scene,
Avril Lavigne is back. She recorded the song "
Alice" for the soundtrack to the
Tim Burton film, "
Alice In Wonderland". This is the second song she has contributed for a major motion picture soundtrack, the first being "
Keep Holding On". This time around, she didn't strike theatrical gold. "
Alice" isn't nearly as interesting as the former pop hit for the film adaption of "
Eragon". The problem with "
Alice" is the melody. It's very monotone at times.
Lavigne sounds as if she is shouting throughout the entire song. It can get tiring. If the melody was re-worked and the chorus was lowed, the song would be much better. One upside to the song is that it does have a cinematic sound to it. Depending on "
Alice In Wonderland's" opening or closing credits, the song could be suitable. Personally, I would skip this song and wait for a new album from
Avril, unless you're a
huge fan. This one doesn't exactly impress me...
