Accomplished American musicians Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro, who are familiar to a great many individuals across the planet as acclaimed and popular alt-rock ensemble Paramore, dropped their first new tune under their renowned band’s banner in half a decade in September.
Titled “This Is Why”, the Tennessee trio’s long-awaited last-released song was the first single to be taken from their highly-anticipated sequel to 2017’s After Laughter, which Hayley, Taylor and Zac revealed while unveiling the then freshly completed “This Is Why” will arrive in record stores and online on February 10th of next year, and of which “This Is Why” is the title track, making Paramore’s upcoming sixth full-length record their first since their debut album way back in 2005 to share its name with an entry on its tracklist, or at least partially in the case of the band’s classic inaugural compilation, All We Know Is Falling.
Now, the highly proficient trio have just dropped a brand new tune titled “The News”.
The newly-released second single from Hayley, Taylor and Zac’s upcoming compilation starts with a splendidly passionate first verse during which immensely electrifying instrumentation rings out energetically underneath tremendously expressive singing as the whole thing drifts delightfully animatedly towards a terrifically zestful chorus crammed with captivatingly spirited vocals and marvellously lively music.
This is succeeded by a second splendidly passionate first verse during which tremendously energising instrumentation rings out underneath magnificently expressive singing on the way to another terrifically zestful chorus, which is followed by a fantastically atmospheric and vigorous vocal and instrumental exhibition that precedes one last terrifically zestful chorus crammed with captivatingly spirited vocals and marvellously lively music.
Like the song that preceded it, the end result here is an extremely riveting and rousing creation by Paramore that’s full of feeling and showcases the delightfully punky attitude and style that made the band famous in the first place while simultaneously feeling magnificently fresh and innovative, and evolving the trio’s sound in an exciting, spellbinding and natural-feeling new direction. Also like its creators’ last single, its marvellously peppy combination of characteristically mesmerizingly melodic and wonderfully vigorous vocals, admirably deep, meaningful and heartfelt lyrics, and tremendously entrancing and remarkably skilful instrumentation is sure to satisfy long-time Paramore enthusiasts while also turning plenty of new heads in the band’s direction.
