Earlier this summer, Hayley Williams did something unusual. Instead of dropping your standard album, she individually released an LP’s worth of songs scattered across her artist pages on streaming services — and that was only after she’d uploaded the material online for a select few of her Good Dye Young customers who’d received special codes with their hair color orders.
Now, the Paramore frontwoman has finally rounded up all of those songs into one traditional album package, releasing Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party on Thursday (Aug. 28). The project features all of the previously released songs — including its title track and single “Glum” — as well as one brand new song, “Parachute.”
Williams had hoped that in releasing the material as unsequenced tracks, fans would be inspired to choose their own preferred listening orders — which is exactly what they did. While assembling the album’s official tracklist, the vocalist took inspiration from the playlists her listeners made.
“Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party,” Williams wrote Thursday on Instagram. “Yours on streaming services now. Pre-order physical copies available everywhere November 7th. Thanks for all your help on the tracklist.”
She also left two blank spaces on the tracklist in her caption, possibly hinting that she’s not yet done adding songs to the project.
Ego Death comes four years after Williams last released a solo album, unveiling Flowers for Vases / Descansos in 2021. Before that came her first-ever LP independent from her band, Petals for Armor, which peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200.
The new project also arrives two years after Paramore’s last record, This Is Why.
