CD - Paramour: Paramour


The Tennesse-bred rock band have endured some shambolic line-up changes in recent years but their flame-haired front woman has her band back together for the release of their 4th self titled studio album-Paramore.

Die-hard fans from the Misery Business era will be missing the self-flagellating emo influences Paramore made their name with, but these have been replaced by more structured lyrics, cleaner arrangements and clearer delivery on lead singer, Hayley Williams', part, and what a voice to have hidden behind angsty teenaged screaming for so many albums.

She's taken on a little of the cool Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs embodies while also hitting the big long notes with the cahunas of a Broadway icon.

A whole 17 tracks gives a suitable amount of bang for anyone's buck, so there's bound to be more than one on there to suit old followers and new fans alike.
