SUMMARY:Hayley Williams at The Van Buren
DESCRIPTION:Ego Death At a Bachelorette Party puts Hayley Williams’ full range on display. “Mirtazapine” is a late-’90s alt-rock love letter to antidepressants\, while on “Glum\,” she subverts her own voice—using vocal presets to striking effect as the track meditates on loneliness. Other standouts include “Whim\,” an easy Americana earworm with a songwriting backbone that nods to her Nashville roots\, and “Ice in My OJ\,” a thoroughly modern track that pairs sharp production with some of Williams’ most biting and humorous lyrics to date. Long-time Paramore fans may quickly recognize the “Ice In My OJ” chorus\, as it was first sung by Williams in 2004 on “Jumping Inside” by the Mammoth City Messengers. But perhaps all of her talents converge most impactfully on the album’s only previously unreleased track\, “Parachute.” It’s a reminder of Williams ability to strike right at the heart\, with not only her confessional lyrics\, but her unmatched delivery. The album captures all the dynamism Williams has shown throughout her career and collaborations. At its core\, these songs are the work of a supremely gifted artist with a voracious\, genre-defying appetite for music and creative exploration. \nThese songs come as the third batch of work released from Williams as a solo artist. The COVID-era saw her release two extraordinary albums – 2020’s Petals For Armor and 2021’s Flowers for Vases. Both albums were gorgeous and stark meditations on loss and offered up a contrast to the high-energy and up-tempo muscle she displays in Paramore. “The record—epitomizing vulnerability and transformative growth—reveals a more mature and introspective side of Williams\,” said Pitchfork of Petals\, and went on to say of Flowers “her voice is undoubtedly the standout feature… husky and gentle\, dangerous yet warm\,” and explained that the minimal production “makes this a purposeful reset.” \nHayley Williams is a 3x GRAMMY winning singer\, songwriter and musician best known for her role as the frontperson of legendary rock band Paramore. With her incredible range and delivery\, Billboard ranked her at #13 on their list of 50 Greatest Rock Singers of All Times saying\, “when it comes to singers in contemporary rock\, Hayley Williams reigns supreme.” Frequently listed as a source of inspiration from contemporary performers as varied as Chappell Roan\, Doechii and Billie Eilish – she’s also appeared on a wide variety of albums and singles as a collaborator and guest vocalist including Turnstile’s latest “Seein’ Stars”\, Moses Sumney’s “I Like It I Like It\,” and Taylor Swift’s “Castles Crumbling.” Swift went on to have Paramore open the first ever The Eras Tour show that debuted in Arizona and later they went on to open all dates on the European leg of her world tour. \nAt just 16 she brought the band to the masses with the release of their album All We Know Is Falling which was certified Gold and just celebrated its 20 year anniversary last week. The band’s breakthrough came with 2007’s Riot!\, powered by the success of the 6X certified platinum single “Misery Business.” In 2009\, Brand New Eyes solidified their place in the rock landscape. Paramore’s self-titled 2013 album marked a commercial and critical peak\, with the platinum single “Ain’t It Fun” earning Paramore their first Grammy win for ‘Best Rock Song’ in 2015 and further nominations for ‘Best Rock Album.’ 2017’s After Laughter introduced a polished\, ‘pop-influenced sound that continued to attract acclaim with the breakout single “Hard Times.” After a long hiatus\, in 2023\, they returned with This Is Why\, a full grown\, alternative-leaning record that earned the band two Grammy wins for ‘Best Alternative Song’ and ‘Best Rock Album’ making Paramore the first female-fronted rock band to ever win the category in its 31-year history. \nHayley Williams bandmate Zac Farro also recently released his first solo-work under his own name. Zac Farro – Operator is out everywhere now via his own label\, Congrats Records. \n \n \nIt’s A Beautiful Place opens with zero-gravity instrumental ‘One Small Step’ – a fitting prelude for what is one giant leap for New York duo Water From Your Eyes. The album is a gleaming megalopolis\, a satellite view of eras and musical forms\, a reframing of the y2k songbook that is at once awe-struck and mindful of its place in the vastness. Short instrumental interludes serve as portals between towering\, muscular songs. “It ended up being about time\, dinosaurs and space\,” says Nate Amos . “We wanted to present a wide range of styles in a way that acknowledges everything’s just a tiny blip.” Throughout It’s A Beautiful Place is a clear sense of a band who have honed their curveballs into home runs. Looming and melancholy\, wide-eyed and petrified\, it’s Blade Runner with a touch of WALL-E\, it’s Kubrick and Asimov with a hint of Jay and Silent Bob. These are songs that look outward\, conscious of our smallness and questioning our place in the universe while admiring the surrounding beauty.
