• Pop star Hayley Williams has announced her newest album entitled “Flowers for Vases / Descansos,” February 5, Friday.

  The album was produced by Daniel James and engineered by Carlos de la Garza. “This isn’t really a follow-up to Petals For Armor. If anything, it’s a prequel or some sort of detour between parts one and two of Petals,” Williams said on her Instagram story on Thursday.

  “I had written a long and poetic press release but man, after 16 years of being in the music business, 6 albums, and a lot of ‘strategies’ for how to ‘roll-out’ a project the right way…writing more words in an attempt to describe better words I’ve written for the album at hand just seemed so boring and silly,” she added.

  “I wrote and performed this album in its entirety. That’s a career first for me. I recorded it at my home in Nashville, the home at which I’ve resided since Paramore released After Laughter. 2020 was really hard but I’m alive and so my job is to keep living and help others to do the same. Yes, Paramore is still a band.” Williams explained.

  “Flowers for Vases / Descansos” follows the release of Williams’ acoustic EP Petals for Armor: Self-Serenades she released in 2020.
