August 20Aug 20 Author Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party is going to be the title of her third album. It will have the 17 standalone songs she has released so far, plus "Parachute", and they will be available on August 28. I guess she's going to announce the pre-order of the physical products that day.
August 28Aug 28 Author "Parachute" will be premiered on Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Sauders tonight.
August 28Aug 28 The official tracklist feels so wrong after sitting with this album for the past month — definitely one of my favourite projects this summer'Parachute' lyrics
August 28Aug 28 Author CD and vinyl (with two new tracks "Showbiz" and "Good Ol' Days") out November 7.
August 31Aug 31 Hayley Williams ‘Ego Death…’ project sounds fantastic in its full album form. Probably her best yet.
September 20Sep 20 Parachute is phenomenal, I had seen some of the lyrics before listening to it and I knew I wasn't ready for it, genuinely put off listening to it for about a week 😂
October 24Oct 24 'Good' Ol' Days' added to the album today.This one is probably one or the most commercial sounding songs on the album. It's pretty instant; most of this album took a few listens to gel properly, if they did at all - hello 'Discovery Channel' 🙊I'd be shocked if it charted, but I think if this was released as her comeback single, it could have definitely made a minor splash in the Top 100! I'm thinking in the vein of 'This Is Why', which I'd say is probably a bigger hit/more well known song than it's peak/chart run suggests as Paramore are basically a nostalgia act now - their type of music just rarely explodes in the charts!As for the album, a couple of months in and I'm still really enjoying it. I definitely prefer it to "Petals For Armor" (I'm just not the target listener for "Flowers For Vases" 😂): most of the album feels so well thought out and personal, with some catchy hook, to boot!'Glum', in particular, is SO GOOD. The, sorta child-like, pitched vocals in the verses are like an inner monologue of thoughts that feel like what she's struggling to vocalise with the chorus and "hey man, roll down your window" feel like what she's actually able to put to words. It's just so well crafted! Edited October 24Oct 24 by Juranamo
Friday at 20:431 day I'm slightly late to this. I noticed she was releasing lots of songs throughout the year and have enjoyed quite a lot of them! Haven't got round to listening to the album in full until recently - so many great songs. I much prefer it to Petal For Armour - I only liked a handful of songs from that ("Dead Horse" should've been a massive hit!). My favourite song is probably "Whim" (I love the production on that, it scatches an itch in my brain!) closely followed by "Kill Me". "Simmer" & "Dead Horse" are both higher highs though from the previous album!
