New Musical Collaboration Announced
Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has unveiled her new band, Power Snatch, in collaboration with producer Daniel James. The announcement was made during a joint show on Apple Music 1, where they debuted a new song titled "Assignment." The lyrics reflect a personal narrative, with Williams singing, "Where I should keep this memory, that version of me/ She was real but she was weak, weak in the knees." This project marks a continuation of Williams' artistic evolution following her successful solo album, *Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party*, released in 2025.
Debut EP and Initial Releases
Power Snatch has already released their debut EP, titled *EP1*, which includes three tracks: "DMs," "DUH," and "HOLE IN THE CEILING." The single "DMs" was initially uploaded to Bandcamp in December 2025. While the EP is currently available on Bandcamp and Untitled, it has not yet been released on mainstream streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. This decision aligns with Williams' commitment to operating as an independent artist after concluding a 20-year contract with Atlantic Records through Paramore.
Upcoming Tour Plans
In addition to her work with Power Snatch, Williams is set to embark on her first solo tour in March 2026, covering both North America and Europe. This tour will support her previous solo album, which achieved notable success, including her first Billboard #1 with the song "True Believer."
Criticism & Opposition
While the announcement of Power Snatch has been met with excitement from fans, some critics have expressed skepticism regarding the viability of new music in an already saturated market. The absence of the EP on major streaming services has also raised questions about its accessibility to a wider audience.
Official Statements & Responses
Williams has not publicly commented on the criticisms surrounding the release strategy of Power Snatch. However, her focus on independent artistry suggests a deliberate choice to prioritize creative control over mainstream distribution.
