Paramore open up about their new album

Paramore are being really secretive about their new album.





We know it’s coming (we think) at some point this year but as for facts, we’ve got nothing. Luckily for us, Hayley Williams has taken to Instagram to offer a small insight into the making of their fifth album.





“Following up our self-titled album didn’t seem like it was going to be an easy task and, unsurprisingly, it was not,” she starts. “The problem about comparing yourself to… yourself… is that even though it’s better than looking elsewhere, you’re still looking in the wrong direction. For me, it wasn’t until I trusted that the past is finished with me that I could go looking for what’s next. Our pasts can be a great comforter or a horror movie; a noose, or a shield… but it is ‘past’ for a reason. After a rest, we have to go looking for what’s supposed to come after that.”





Reading between the lines, it sounds like the new album will see Paramore breaking new ground. We’re expecting nothing less than poptastic btw.

about a year ago, we began writing & demoing songs for #5 / / / following up our self-titled album didn’t seem like it was going to be an easy task and, unsurprisingly, it was not. the problem about comparing yourself to… yourself… is that even though it’s better than looking elsewhere, you’re still looking in the wrong direction. for me, it wasn’t until i trusted that the past is finished with me that i could go looking for what’s next. our pasts can be a great comforter, or a horror movie; a noose, or a shield… but it is “past” for a reason. after a rest, we have to go looking for what’s supposed to come after that. – h
