Paramore’s Fifth Album: July 2016 Studio Updates
Four months ago, Paramore started recording their upcoming fifth album. At the time, the band was down to just Hayley Williams and Taylor York. Bassist Jeremy Davis left last December. However, last month their ex-drummer Zac Farro suddenly appeared in the behind-the-scenes shots Hayley shared on Twitter! Is he officially back with the band? Is he co-writing some of the new songs? Or is he just playing drums on the new record? We have a lot of questions, but no new answers this month.
Keeping up with the habits of the last few months, Hayley has continued to shared studio updates throughout the recording process. Here’s the latest from this July:
Yes. It's being recorded….. Right after we eat this meal. https://t.co/RYfvhjrNEx

Yes. Typically, we enjoy recording the album as a whole before we release it… Also as a whole. 🌝 https://t.co/AFZfs3TPcE

With Jeremy gone and Zac apparently back, it will be exciting to hear how the music changes. Hayley and Taylor were the principle songwriters on Paramore, so there may not be a big change in style. But what about the topics? Will Jeremy’s departure and Zac’s return to the band come up?
Hayley also just married her longtime boyfriend, New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert, in February. Will married life affect the new music? Perhaps more lovey lyrics and cheerful music? On the other hand, Hayley and Chad have been together for eight years, so maybe there won’t be much of a change after all. We’ll find out soon enough!
Now that Paramore is actively recording the album, they’ve been generous with the studio updates. There should be plenty more studio updates and news over the coming months, too. While the album could be ready by the end of this year, it will most likely come out sometime in 2017.
