Petals for Armor

by Hayley Williams

For her debut solo outing, the Paramore frontwoman steps away from pop-punk into highly rhythmic, experimental art-pop. Initially released in three distinct EP segments, the full record tackles the grueling emotional aftermath of a public divorce, depression, and subsequent healing. The production, helmed by bandmate Taylor York, relies heavily on jagged synthesizers, driving basslines, and vulnerable, intricate vocal arrangements.
