While being in London Hayley Williams did a bunch of press meetings to discuss her recently released album Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party. One of them was for The Face which is now available online along new photos taken by Zachary Gray.
In the interview Williams talks the famous 360 deal she signed with Atlantic Records at the age of 15 and its expiration in 2023. This moment turned to be a very emotional one for her, resulting in a sudden feeling of grief and a need to process emotions turning to music. This is how Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party was created, even though Paramore started recording new album while on tour with Taylor Swift – click here to read more.
Among many topics Hayley didn’t forget to mention Paramore’s future, stating it feels more like another longer break than a break-up!
So, I have to ask, what’s going with Paramore then?
“Do we ever know where we’re at?!” she laughs. “We always take huge breaks. In order for us to metabolise shit that we go through as people, it takes the amount of time it takes between albums.” But Williams can confirm that the band are on a break, rather than broken up.
“There are no better musicians in the world than Zac and Taylor,” she says. “There are no better performers than [the touring musicians affectionately known as the] Parafour. It’s just magic, man,” says Williams.
“I feel such a vindication in knowing that nobody can discount Paramore,” she continues. “But it’s also really important for me to strengthen other muscles and these parts of myself that I deflated because I was scared that people were going to notice me too much.”
