Hayley Williams drops an album's worth of new songs on her website

The entire experience—a project which doesn’t appear to have an official title, and is only labeled with the artist’s initials H.W.—is designed like an old-school Windows desktop display. The background is a repeated orange image of a dog, and the screen is crowded with unorganized .mp3 files that, once clicked, can be played on the site’s audio player. There’s also a folder labeled “Misc” that opens to some images, a brief video from a gig circa 2017, and an audio file of a child saying “I’m sorry that you’re going through something hard.”

Before dropping the full project, Williams shared the new track “Mirtazapine” directly with Nashville public radio, an apparent response to cuts to public broadcasting from the Trump administration. Earlier this year, she released “I Like It I Like It” with Moses Sumney. Her previous solo albums include 2020’s Petals For Armor and 2021’s Flowers For Vases / Descansos. Paramore released their latest, This Is Why, in 2023, and recently announced the 20th anniversary re-release of their first album, All We Know Is Falling.
