Paramore are back with their first new music since 2017. The beloved Nashville-based trio of\u00a0Zac Farro<\/b>,\u00a0Hayley Williams<\/b>\u00a0&\u00a0Taylor York<\/b>\u00a0have returned from their hiatus – and the global pandemic – with\u00a0“This Is Why<\/b>“,<\/i>\u00a0one of the best songs of their already impressive repertoire. In what’s widely recognized as one of the most exciting musical returns of the year, the band have also announced the release of their long awaited sixth studio album,\u00a0This is Why<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0<\/b><\/i>for February 10th 2023 on Atlantic Records.\u00a0<\/b>Recorded in Los Angeles, California with long-time collaborator\u00a0Carlos de la Garza<\/b>, the album features 10 new Paramore songs with cover art shot by\u00a0Zachary Gray.<\/b><\/p>\n

Entering back into a world – and cultural landscape – very different from the one they last participated in, Paramore have returned with a song about exactly that.\u00a0“This Is Why<\/b>“<\/i>\u00a0is a deliciously infectious Paramore ear-worm for the post-truth world. Of the song, Williams says, “This Is Why was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. What came out of it was the title track for the whole album. It summarizes the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last 3 or 4 years. You’d think after a global pandemic of fucking biblical proportions and the impending doom of a dying planet, that humans would have found it deep within themselves to be kinder or more empathetic or something.”<\/i><\/p>\n

The video was directed by\u00a0Turnstile<\/b>‘s\u00a0Brendan Yates<\/b>\u00a0and filmed in Malibu, California last month. Speaking on the video and collaboration, Williams says,\u00a0“It was so rad working with Brendan. I’ve known the Turnstile guys for a little while and was so psyched to have our worlds collide in this way. There’s a cool kinship between the way our bands do things… Hopefully we will get to play shows with them at some point.”<\/i><\/p>\n
