Paramore’s Hayley Williams Surprises Fans By Sharing 17 New Songs Online

Over the weekend, Paramore’s Hayley Williams surprised fans by releasing 17 new songs on her rudimentary website, accessible via a code linked to her Good Dye Young hair dye company. The tracks have a confessional, homemade charm to them, ranging from meditative tracks like “True Believer” and “BloodBros,” to edgy, inventive rockers like “IceInMyOJ” and “Hard.” It remains unclear if this unannounced collection serves as an official follow-up to Williams’ previous solo projects, 2020’s Petals for Armor and its 2021 sequel, Flowers for Vases/ Descansos. The site also includes miscellaneous extras like a 2017 live performance clip, lyric sheets, and a photo featuring a “Hayley Williams is my favorite band” T-shirt. This surprise drop follows last week’s Nashville public radio release of Williams’ new song, “Mirtazapine,” which she performed live for the first time with Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers at the Newport Folk Festival on Friday.
