After a four-year hiatus, Paramore will return with their sixth studio album on a date to be revealed soon. For the first time in the band’s nearly two decades of existence, this album will include the same member lineup as their previous release.
Hayley told NTWRK on April 22, 2021, that the band had “started to work on music,” but there were no further updates until November of that year. Williams, in a newsletter regarding the release of the vinyl compilation of both her albums, thanked fans for their continuous support and hinted at a possible comeback for Paramore in 2022.
In an exclusive interview at the beginning of 2022, Rolling Stone revealed a behind-the-scenes peek at the album’s recording process. The band also stated that they were drawing inspiration from their early influences, emphasizing the guitar and allowing Zac to “go as animal as he wants with [drums].”
