Today (November 7) is a big day for Hayley Williams. Physical editions of Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, the Paramore leader’s third solo studio album, are out now, and they include two songs that were not initially released on digital streaming platforms. Williams shared one of them, “Good Ol’ Days,” online last month, and now she’s released the other. Check out “Showbiz,” produced by co-writer Daniel James, below.
Another reason today is a big day for Hayley Williams is that she got nominated for four Grammy Awards. Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party is up for Best Alternative Music Album, while “Parachute” will compete for Best Alternative Music Performance. Additionally, “Mirtazapine” is up for Best Rock Performance, and “Glum” scored her a nod for Best Rock Song.
Williams won her first Grammy in 2015, for Best Rock Song, for “Ain’t It Fun.” She won two more in 2024: Best Rock Album (This Is Why) and Alternative Music Performance (“This Is Why”). She has 11 career nominations.
