OMG, I really thought they would start a new Paramore era and now this! Hayley Williams has announced that she left Paramore to start a solo career! Apparently she realized during the recording process of a new Paramore album that the music style just isn't her thing anymore. Instead she has already signed with Roc Nation and will start working on her debut album with Jay-Z, Timbaland and Dr. Dre:
I'm really looking forward to this new phase of my career. I loved every minute of my time with Paramore and I wanna thank all the fans who stuck with us during the last months, but I hope that they understand, that it's time for a new Hayley.Taylor York and Jeremy Davis decided to stay together as Paramore, with York singing the vocals. ...
Paramore should have new music by the summer. Speaking from the Grammy Awards red carpet on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, frontwoman Hayley Williams told AOL Music. "We are going to go tomorrow to South America to do a tour. And then when we get back, we're hoping to record a batch of songs to release over the summer. All the details aren't worked out yet, but we definitely do want to release ['In the Mourning'] and some other ones before we put out a record."
Some of Paramore's fans feared that the loss of guitarist Josh and drummer Zac Farro would spell the end of the band. Fortunately, it's quite the opposite. The producer of their album 'Brand New Eyes,' Rob Cavallo, is excited to work with them again, possibly for another soundtrack song. Referring to the new band membership, "It's definitely extra motivation," said Cavallo," I'm really proud that they chose me to do this transition and when I heard the first demos, I was absolutely blown away."...
