Hayley Williams: 'New Paramore Album Will Be Very Different'

Hayley Williams has promised that Paramore’s new album will lyrically be “very different” from their previous efforts.

Williams told MTV that she has “a lot that I want to get out” – but admitted she didn’t know what she would say specifically.

“Lyrically, I think it's going to be a very different record — we've learned a lot about relationships and friendships and life in general,” she said.

The singer added: "[We've been getting inspired by] life, really. It's not one specific instance or record or book or anything.”

To date, Paramore have remained tight-lipped on the follow-up to 2007’s ‘Riot!’.

Earlier this month, Williams refused to speak about the project, only to confirm that it was “in the earliest stage possible”.

However, in a wide-ranging interview, bassist Jeremy Davis said the group’s eclectic taste in music would ensure the as-yet-untitled record feature “different things going on”.

Drummer Zac Farro added: "Just because we did well on the last one, we don't think we can go in and make a great record without having to try. We're going to work just as hard, if not harder, this time around."

Although a release date has not been confirmed, Paramore’s new album is expected in 2009.
