Virtually every band or artist on my all-time favorite list has released/will release a new album in the span of 6 months. Metric, Phoenix, Imogen Heap, The Sounds, Tegan And Sara (10/27), and now Paramore. I’ve been in music heaven all spring and summer. That goes without even mentioning all of the new favorites I’ve discovered in the last few months, the likes of which you’ll hear in the next few weeks.
Two weeks ago, a coworker asked me what my personal ‘fight’ song was. I didn’t have a singular answer for him, but I gave him two bands, Damone and Paramore. Whenever I want to get up and go, I play their albums. With this latest album from Paramore, I realized how much Hayley Williams’ voice has matured…and it was phenomenal to begin with! The pure force of talent behind that 20 year old redhead is amazing, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her.
Brand New Eyes is a pop-punk joyride. As always, the guitar hooks are flawless, the lyrics are sharp, and the vocals are spot-on. There’s nothing not to like about these kids.
