Paramore - This Is Why - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

1951 was a rich year for the American music scene. The radio broadcast a wide range of sounds ranging from jazz ballads to pop hits to country scorchers and up-tempo numbers bordering on the not-so-distant form of music known as rock and roll.

When Hayley Williams began writing lyrics for the songs that appear on Paramore's self-titled new album, she found herself feeling more optimistic than ever before about the future of the band she has fronted since she was fifteen. The lead-off single InchNowInch with lyrics like Inchif there's a future, we want it nowInch - sets the urgent tone of Paramore, the band's fourth album. Given the choice of packing it in or reinventing themselves as a trio, Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and bassist Jeremy Davis chose the latter and made a positive, uplifting album that reflects who they are in the present.

2017 , the fifth album from the alt-rock band and their first in four years. After Laughter was recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio B - Paramore's first time recording in their beloved hometown. The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Paramore's own Taylor York. After Laughter also marks the return of original member Zac Farro back to the band. Paramore formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004.
