Hayley Williams teases new Paramore album and Earth Day merch collaboration
With "Paramore 6" seemingly in the works, the band have also just shared details of a new Collina Strada collaboration for Earth Day 2021.
Earlier this year Hayley Williams stated that she was "ready for the next Paramore album" following her two excellent lockdown solo records: 2021's FLOWERS for VASES / descansos, and last year's Petals For Armor. And now it seems as though the follow-up to 2017's After Laughter is truly on the way…
Overnight, Hayley shared a screengrab of a conversation with drummer Zac Farro referring to "paramore 6", with the pair seemingly also reflecting on "getting oooooold" (six albums is a lot guys, but you're really not old – don't worry).
As well as that, the vocalist has announced an awesome Earth Day collaboration with fashion label Collina Strada, with new "RIOT!-esque" pieces benefitting closethewatergap.org.
"Paramore have collaborated with fashion label and social issues/awareness platform Collina Strada to create some exclusive pieces," Hayley says. "They are very RIOT!-esque and both items will benefit orgs for Earth Day.

"Collina Strada partners with theor.org to source upcycled tees from Kantamanto Market in Ghana where unsold/donated clothing is causing an ecological disaster. This one's hand-dyed and features a vintage Paramore design screenprinted on front.
"And the piece de resistance: the Collina Strada x Paramore circa 2007 reusable water bottle. Collina Strada made these bedazzled bitches famous a few seasons ago or more(?) and you see em all over fashion week. Can't believe I own a Pmore themed one now."
