Hayley Williams’s first solo album is only a few weeks away, and she’s not done building up the hype just yet. The singer teased the release of this highly-anticipated album with her second Petals for Armor EP.

Petals for Armor II features four previously released tracks “Roses/Lotus/Iris/Violet,” “Why We Ever,” “Over Yet” and “My Friend” and one brand-new song titled “Dead Horse” – all of which are expected to be featured on her full-length album.

The “Paramore” singer described this EP as the perfect interlude between where Petals began and where it’s going and explained what these five songs meant to her.

“I needed these songs to help me get to a place where I could name my shame, take inventory of emotional scars, true friends, awful coping mechanisms and discover what I desire for my life,” said Williams in a statement.

Petals for Armor is expected to be released on May 8th, and it will also feature previously released singles “Simmer” and “Leave It Alone”.
