Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has unexpectedly removed her surprise solo album, ‘Ego,’ from her official website. Williams’ new song, ‘Mirtazapine,’ premiered on WNXP Nashville last week, prior to her sharing the 17-track LP on www.hayleywilliams.net.
However, anyone wishing to listen to the record had to make a purchase from the ‘Decode’ hitmaker’s hair brand, Good Dye Young, to receive a 16-digit access code. Hayley, now an independent artist following the expiration of her major label deal, has since removed the tracks from her website, leaving behind a message that simply states: “Hello, there. Thank you for listening.”
Uncertainty Surrounds Album’s Removal and Future Release
It remains unclear why the tracks were removed and whether they will ever be released on any streaming services. Her surprise album, ‘Ego,’ followed her second solo album, ‘Flowers for Vases / descansos,’ released in 2021, and her debut solo record, ‘Petals for Armor,’ from 2020.
Since her last solo project, Hayley has also collaborated with rock band Turnstile on the song ‘Seein’ Stars’ and singer-songwriter Moses Sumney on the track ‘I Like It I Like It.’ She also contributed to David Byrne’s first solo album in seven years, ‘Who Is the Sky?,’ and is featured on the track ‘What Is the Reason For It?.’
