After 20+ years spent fulfilling their contract for Atlantic Records - a contract Williams signed as a mere teenager - Paramore announced in December of 2023 that they were finally an independent band. This surprise collection is self-released by Hayley Williams 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 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.
