2020 is bringing with it a whole new journey for Hayley Williams.
The singer has been at the front of Paramore since founding the group with Zac Farro in 2004, but has decided that the time is right to release some solo stuff. But don’t worry, she isn’t leaving the band.
Paramore released their last album, After Laughter, in 2017 and Hayley revealed that the rockers have been taking some downtime since 2018. Throughout the band’s 15 year tenure, the lead vocalist has lent her voice to other projects such as “Airplanes” by B.O.B. and “Stay the Night” with Zedd.
But now it is time for Hayley.
The front woman made the announcement a day after she turned 31 on December 27th. In response to all the birthday well wishes, Hayley told her fans that the year to come will be important as she drops a few solo tracks.
“Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes. 30 was a very important year. 31 will be too,” she wrote. “I’m putting out some music next year,” she wrote before seemingly crossing it out. “With the help of some of my closest friends, I made something I’m going to call my own. It’s a really special project and you’ll get a taste of it in January.”
We can hardly wait.
