Video for Avril Lavigne's "Mobile" Released 10 Years After it was Created

Idolator.com just posted a previously unreleased music video for Avril Lavigne's "Mobile", a song from her debut album that was created 10 years ago.

The music video was originally made in hopes of making "Mobile" Avril's first single in Australia, a plan that never took off.

It's kind of weird to see the music video 10 years after it was set to be released. It's a much more stripped down version of the Avril we have today. She is wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a fitted orange t-shirt. The video itself is rather simple, featuring the singer walking around a desert atmosphere.

You can watch the video for "Mobile" below:


Over the years Avril has been criticized for "selling out" or becoming too glamorous. I never really thought that was much of the case. Yeah, Avril may have gotten a little less rebellious and a little more pretty and girly. It's called growing up. I still think she has that edginess and angst in her and I can still see that in both her music and wardrobe. It's just a little more adult looking now.

I would like to see Avril do a more stripped down music video for her new album, though. "Mobile" was very simple, but still very good. There aren't many music videos out now that can be both simple and good. It would be neat to see Avril go back to her roots like that and make simple cool again.

What do you think about the old school Avril video?
