Hayley Williams

When Hayley Williams began writing lyrics for the songs that appear on Paramore’s self-titled new album, she found herself feeling more op-timistic than ever before about the future of the band she has fronted since she was 15. “I had this kind of Tony-in-West-Side-Story-moment when he sings about how something is coming. He doesn’t know what it is, but it’s going to be great,” she says with a laugh. “A lot of the new songs came

out of that. They’re about needing to find whatever’s next.”

Lead-off single “Now” — with lyrics like

“if there’s a future, we

want it

now” — sets

the urgent tone of Para-

more, the Nashville, Tennessee-bred band’s fourth album. Given the choice of packing it in or reinventing them-selves as a trio, Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and bassist Jeremy Da-vis chose the latter and made a po-sitive, uplifting album that reflects who they are in the present. “I’m really proud of the fact that this is not an angry Paramore album,” Williams says. Adds Davis: “It’s a lot happier and brighter album than pe-ople might expect given what’s ha-ppened. We’ve wanted to write son-gs like this for so long, but weren’t there emotionally. Now we are.”The band members holed up to write over the past year and a half and emerged with a collection of songs that retains Paramore’s youthful spirit, but clearly shows their evo-lution. It’s the most musically ad-venturous set they’ve released to date. Which isn’t to say the album

won’t thrill longtime fans. Still pre-sent is a ferocious, churning energy (a hallmark of Paramore’s sound) on “Now,” “Fast In My Car,” “Proof,” “Anklebiters,” and “Be Alone.” But the album should also earn Paramore

Paramore announces departure of Jeremy Davis!

In an official note through social networks, the band announced the departure of bassist Jeremy Davis. Read the statement translated below:

These last few years made some of the best times we’ve ever had ... as people, as friends, as a band. We knew that the Self-Titled era would be one of the most important to us but that eventually we would have to move on. And going forward, there is pain, suffering and change ... and sometimes, change is not exactly what you wanted. We wrote and rewrote it countless times and there is a certain way to say ... Jeremy is not in the band with us. To be honest, this has been very painful. After taking the time to consider how to move forward, we believe that Paramore can and should continue. And that’s what we will do.

We are grateful for the many people who helped us to move forward in difficult times and we found out that these people do as much of it as we do. We are hope-ful for the future of Paramore and excited by what Jeremy will do next. Thanks for all the support and for believing in us. This keeps us going. We’ll see some of you very soon in Parahoy, and if you will not come on the cruise, we see in 2016.
