Hayley Williams News

The trio revealed their new album plans in September with the release of the album’s title track. “This Is Why,” currently climbing streaming and alternative radio charts around the globe - now at #2 at Alternative Radio! - and saw the beloved band make their Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon debut in between a run of intimate theater dates.

The accompanying video, inspired by the band’s favorite horror movies and thrillers, was filmed in their hometown of Nashville, TN and directed by Mike Kluge and Matthew DeLisi. One of Paramore’s most striking, agile and frenetic songs, “The News” puts drummer Zac Farro and guitarist Taylor York’s dynamic chemistry at the forefront.

Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on May 23rd at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC and makes stops at some of North America’s most iconic venues such as New York’s Madison Square Garden, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, Austin’s Moody Center, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena and more.

The incredibly special, one night only event will be available to stream live exclusively via the premium social live media platform Moment. Fans around the globe will be able to tune in live to Zedd recreating the chart-topping 2012 album by performing in its entirety for the first time ever and experience the project in a new and unique way.

Paramore are back with their first new music since 2017. The beloved Nashville-based trio of Zac Farro, Hayley Williams & Taylor York have returned from their hiatus - and the global pandemic - with “This Is Why”, one of the best songs of their already impressive repertoire. The band have also announced the release of their sixth studio album.

Globally, the duo have reached over 140 million streams and sold over 250,000 albums, inspired a wealth of lobster fancy dress, garnered an ASMR following as well as finding fans in the likes of Drew Barrymore, Lorde, Iggy Pop, Elton John, Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Harry Styles, Edgar Wright and Dave Grohl.

Grammy-winning superstar Maren Morris and acclaimed producer Zedd reunite on a new collaboration, “Make You Say,” featuring production duo BEAUZ and co-written by Zedd, Maren, BEAUZ, Charlie Puth and Jacob Kasher Hindlin. The new track follows the duo’s six times Platinum-certified hit collaboration from 2018, “The Middle.”

To celebrate the announcement Jamieson has shared a video for lead single “Sink” and shared news of a raft of new UK live dates including support slots with Willy Mason alongside her upcoming festival appearances. Produced and engineered by long-time collaborator Steph Marziano (Ex:Re, Lapsley, Hayley Williams) and mixed by Isabel Gracefield.

After my previous blog about how jukebox musicals should not be looked down upon in the theatre world, I got to thinking about which of my favorite artists would have the best jukebox musicals. Here are six female artists from the twenty-first century whom I believe should write a musical or have a jukebox musical.

Along with the track, the band share their colorful and fun video directed by Ryan Baxley (Best Coast, The Regrettes, Charlie Hanson) featuring American skateboarder and photographer Ray Barbee.

The closing track—the aptly titled “This Is a Song”—seems to strip things back to the very root of Pedinotti’s process and creative impetus.

At only 20 years old, WILLOW has spent half her life in the music industry. With her fifth album coming this summer (out this summer via MSFTSMusic/Roc Nation), a decade of growth both in the industry and as a young woman come to a head. Her new single and LP is a love letter to that constant evolution.

Founded in 2018, The Linda Lindas also include Lucia’s 10-year-old sister Mila (vocals, drums), their 13-year-old cousin Eloise (vocals, bass), and longtime friend 16-year-old Bela (vocals, guitar).

The single was originally unveiled via Beats1’s Zane Lowe as a New Music Daily and WILLOW released a companion performance video directed by multidisciplinary creative force Dana Trippe, who is known for her work with Haim, Demi Lovato and more.
