The two played the track together live in Nashville. HalfNoise, his other project, just released a new EP, which features Williams. Last summer, the band were posting pictures from the studio, which included Hayley Williams and Taylor York with then-former drummer Zac Farro and Justin Meldal-Johnsen, who was the producer on 2013's self-titled album.įarro drummed on Paramore's first three albums ( All We Know Is Falling, Riot! and Brand New Eyes). Recently, 12 tracks were registered with the American Society of Composer, Authors and Publishers database. Paramore were teasing the record heavily on their social media over the past few days. Rumors of new music have been quickly surfacing.

Vocally and musically they have improved and progressed dramatically to create a truly gorgeous album that the band should be proud of. Paramore is a gallant effort from the incredibly talented band that will see them climb higher and higher to music stardom. Acoustic and simplistic, the song starts with Williams’ vocals softly singing us to a build up of intense guitaring that goes on impressively for five minutes with crashing drums, a false end and increasing volume. Starting off mellow and then exploding on the chorus the song is epic, but maybe not as much as the albums closing track “Future” which is an outstanding display of York and Davis’ musical ability. Not content with keeping the heartbreak to a minimum, the three wrote “Part II” as, well, a part two to “Let The Flames Begin” from their second album RIOT! which is a firm fan favourite, particularly at live shows. Beautifully intricate guitaring, orchestral music that isn’t overpowering and luscious raw vocals make this song an instant classic that will find audiences of all ages enjoying. Williams has said that slow ballad “Hate To See Your Heart Break” was written about York and despite the title, this song is likely to break your heart. The years break from the intense touring that Paramore are known for allowed them more time with their loved ones which leaked its way into the album with poppy love songs like “Still Into You” and “Proof” and at the same time brought the band themselves closer together. A further foray into the unknown includes the soulful “Ain’t It Fun” which sees the band increase in size when a gospel choir joins them and eventually further still as every single person who hears this song will no doubt sing along with them.
“Fast In My Car” is amongst others such as “Be Alone” and “Anklebiters” that mix the familiarity of previous Paramore releases with new electro rock that isn’t a far cry from the type of rock music the 90’s churned out, whilst tracks like the three interludes, “Moving On” “Holiday” and “I’m Not Angry Anymore,” show an entirely new side to the band as they dabble with a ukulele, producing short and sweet folk music. Not only will Paramore impress old fans but the album, which experiments with new sounds and genres, is sure to increase the already overwhelmingly large fan base with its eclectic range of songs. A lot of hard work and seventeen songs later the album Paramore was born and it seemed the band too were reborn a more matured, comfortable and tight knit trio. With no boundaries left to restrict them, the three had to find a new way of writing together, that also meant York had a frontal role in writing which he never had before. Hidden away for much of last year – they only played a handful of shows including Reading and Leeds Fest – the band began the process of finding their way once more and wrote their fourth album with Justin Medal-Johnsen (Neon Trees, M83) who challenged the band to write their best album to date.
