Paramore, the pop-punk outfit comprised of Nashville-area natives, released its fourth album on April 9. The self-titled project comes via Fueled By Ramen and is the band’s first effort since 2009’s Brand New Eyes.
In the years since that prior album, founding members and brothers Zac and Josh Farro exited the band, and members Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Jeremy Davis regrouped and refocused.
For the latest music they teamed with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen who has recorded with Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, Dixie Chicks, Sara Bareilles, Kid Rock and Pink. “If you haven’t heard any Paramore albums, start with this one and not the first one,” Williams told the New York Times.
During the break between Paramore projects, Williams relocated from Nashville to Los Angeles, and scored a Grammy nomination for contributing to B.o.B.’s hit “Airplanes.”
Listen to the entire Paramore album plus two exclusive tracks only on Rdio.
