After 20+ years spent fulfilling their contract for Atlantic Records — a contract Williams signed as a mere teenager — Paramore announced in December 2023 that they were finally an independent band. This surprise collection of solo tracks by Hayley Williams is self-released on her new venture, Post Atlantic. These 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, offering a striking contrast to the high-energy, up-tempo muscle she displays in Paramore.
