“The Cure has been my favorite band for years and years,” Robinson said in a statement. “They were instrumental in my approach to production.

Avril Lavigne: Not Britney, not a girl, not yet a woman
Canadian pop princess Avril Lavigne, 18, is on the cover of the new Rolling Stone. In the story, Lavigne--who is polishing off a pitcher of beer when the piece opens--says her devout Christian upbringing has kept her grounded.
“My mom wouldn’t even let me sing [the country song] ‘Strawberry Wine,’ because it said ‘wine’ in it and I was this little kid,” Lavigne says in the story. “She protected my image. And that’s not the only reason why I don’t dance around like a ho onstage, but it definitely has something to do with being brought up with tons of morals. And I’m not saying I’ll never write a song with a curse word, because there’s definitely been times when it’s like, ‘Aww, man, “fuck” would sound so good there!’ But then I think about my mom, and how it would probably hurt her. So I just say ‘frig’ instead.”
