Hayley Williams: 'Paramore have four diverse new songs written for our next album'

 

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has revealed that the Tennessee pop punkers have written four new songs for their new studio album.

Speaking to Spanish website Rockzone, the singer said that she did not believe recent single 'Monster' was an indication of things to come from the follow-up to 2009's 'Brand New Eyes'.

The singer said: "We have written four new songs and they are quite diverse. There are some heavier songs, but there's also one that we plan to play live soon that is called 'In The Morning Mess'."

On the subject of 'Monster' she added: "I can't really say that 'Monster' is an indication of what to expect on the next Paramore album. We, as a band, will always try to evolve and try new things. It will be different for sure, but it will still keep Paramore's essence."

Williams also confirmed that Paramore would remain as herself, guitarist Taylor York and bassist Jeremy Davis for the foreseeable future and that they were not looking for permanent replacements for the Farro brothers, who left the band in December last year.

She said:

We are not in the process of looking out for new members right now. The band is Jeremy, Taylor and I. We don't spend too much time thinking about how Paramore will be in the future. It's hard when you go through a period of changing members so what we want to do right now is play great songs.

Williams also said that life for the band without the Farro brother is "not that different", but that the three of them have now become a "really strong unit."

The band have also responsed to questions over their future by selling a new t-shirt on their current tour that reads "Paramore is STILL a band."
