Hayley Williams goes solo

Hayley Williams quietly uploaded 17 new tracks to a password‑protected page on her website on July 28, 2025, giving fans early access to the material for a short window. (consequence.net) Access to that web drop required a unique code tied to a Good Dye Young product purchase, a marketing tie‑in Williams used to gate the initial listening event. (variety.com) The 17 tracks were posted as standalone singles to streaming services on August 1, 2025, and Williams packaged a finalized album edition — with an added track called “Parachute” — when she officially released Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party on August 28, 2025. (en.wikipedia.org) Williams’s Post Atlantic imprint partnered with Secretly Distribution for global physical distribution and pre‑orders, with physical copies slated for release on November 7, 2025. (musicweek.com) Much of the July/August material was produced by Daniel James, with additional contributions credited to musicians including Brian Robert Jones, Joey Howard and Jim‑E Stack on the surprise singles. (stereogum.com) Critics have given the record high marks — Metacritic aggregates a strong critical score — and the album earned four nominations at the 68th GRAMMY Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album and nominations for the songs “Parachute,” “Mirtazapine” and “Glum.” (metacritic.com) Williams opened the At a Bachelorette Party tour at Atlanta’s Tabernacle on March 27, 2026, where she debuted roughly 14 songs from the new project while mixing in selections from her Paramore catalog.
