Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Album Review: Paramore – After Laughter Despite it’s neon-tinged, pure pop sound After Laughter sticks close to Paramore’s angsty roots By Eleanor Langford, Music Editor (2016/17) Wednesday 21 June 2017 Rating: ★★★★☆ Paramore are a group plagued by bandmate disputes, from their high-profile split with the Farro brothers in 2010 to the departure and ensuing legal battle with ex-bassist Jeremy Davis. Now reconciled with ex- drummer and founding member Zac Farro, the band are embarking on their next chapter.Initially, the neon-tinged vibes and Initially, the neon-tinged vibes and pure pop sound of After Laughter seem a complete departure from the angst and heartbreak of Riot! and Brand New Eyes, but the old Paramore still lives on under a new guise. Lead single ‘Hard Times’ echoes the world-weary frustration of their earlier releases, while ‘Grudges’ http://nouse.co.uk/2017/06/21/album-review-paramore-after-laughter Archived 11 Dec 2018 12:24:51 Nouse Web Archives Album Review: Paramore – After Laughter Page 2 of 3 chronicles the band’s reconciliation with Zac Farro just as Brand New Eyes recorded the pains of Paramore’s initial split. The album sees singer Hayley Williams at her best. Amid the soaring falsettos and seething shouts, we hear her voice at its most mature, its most natural. Much of the pain on the album is deeply personal, with Williams criticising the media’s idolisation of her in ‘Idle Worship’ and lamenting the loss of a friend in ‘Forgiveness’. The mood is of growth and acceptance, a far stretch from the bitterness and anger that tinged their earlier albums. From its sorrowful lyrics to tropical-pop sound, this release documents a band that is done trying to please. The relief of reconciliation is mingled with the pains of acceptance, and after five albums it is clear this is a band done with dwelling on anger. This album might not be what Paramore fans expected, but it seems as though Williams and co. are done with expectations. With After Laughter, Paramore are embracing sugar-coated pop as the remedy to the controversies of their past. Most Read Discussed 1. Review: Little Mix – LM5 2.

Roza and Prof. Dr. F. Mehring Title of document: It’s Not a Fashion Statement. An exploration of Masculinity and Femininity in Contemporary Emo Music. Name of course: MA Thesis North American Studies Date of submission: 15 August 2018 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed Name of student: Claudia Gielis Gielis /3 Abstract Masculinity and femininity can be performed in many ways. The emo genre explores a variety of ways in which gender can be performed. Theories on gender, masculinity and femininity will be used to analyze both the lyrics and the music videos of these two bands, indicating how they perform gender lyrically and visually. Likewise a short introduction on emo music will be given, to gain a better understanding of the genre and the subculture. It will become clear that the emo subculture allows for men and women to explore their own identity. This is reflected in the music associated to the emo genre as well as their visual representation in their music videos. This essay will explore how both a male fronted band, My Chemical Romance, and a female fronted band, Paramore, perform gender. All studio albums and official music videos will be used to investigate how they have performed gender throughout their career.

  • Hayley Williams & APOTHEKE CO Collaborate on Bringing
    apothekeco.com APOTHEKE CO collaborates with musical artist Hayley Williams in a Limited Edition Candle Hayley Williams & APOTHEKE CO collaborate on bringing "Sanctuary" to everyone 2020-10-30 Grammy Award Winning Artist Hayley Williams releases her first Limited Edition Candle In the midst of a global pandemic and a halt to the normalcy that we once knew, Hayley Williams and APOTHEKE partnered together to create a Limited Edition fragrance that brings the feeling of safety and calm to everyone. The two were introduced and it just felt right. It is incredibly timely to be focusing on such a personal project and it truly was created in a vulnerable state between both collaborators. Hayley wrote a personal note to her fans and explains the heart behind the project beautifully, "Thanks to APOTHEKE, I get to share what I'm learning here at home with you...For me, home is sacred ground to learn my lesson, sip my tea, sing songs... I decide what is and isn't worth letting in. This is a whole new way of sanctuary for me. It's an unusual offering but I'm certain it will keep you good company. Let it remind you that anywhere you are is a sacred place." Crafted at the company's factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn, "Sanctuary" is a blend of black peppercorn and lemon zest. Nuances of cannabis are complemented with hemp seed and birch to calm. Undertones of guiacawood, crushed basil, and dark patchouli round out the scent for the perfect aroma. About APOTHEKE Co: APOTHEKE is founded by Chrissy Fichtl and Sebastian Picasso, a wife/husband duo that compliment each other perfectly in the industry.

After Laughter is the fifth studio album by American rock band Paramore. After Laughter represents a departure from the usual punk pop and alternative rock sound of their previous releases. The album touches on themes of exhaustion, depression and anxiety, contrasting the upbeat and vibrant sound of the record. Upon release, After Laughter received critical acclaim from music critics, who praised the band’s new sonic direction and the 1980’s new wave and synth-pop sound on the album. We know, we know, Paramore isn’t just Hayley Williams. Paramore is a band. But when every roiling, addictive album is directly fueled by the discord of yet another lineup change, you start to wonder: Should the hole left by the most recently departing bandmate be considered an official member of the band? It’s a thought you can’t help but mull over listening to Paramore’s crackling fifth full-length album, 2017’s After Laughter. The lineup this time features Williams, guitarist Taylor York (a member since their 2007 sophomore effort Riot!) and original drummer Zac Farro, returning after an estrangement since 2010. Notably not present here is bassist Jeremy Davis, who left for the second time in a huff of legal disturbances in 2015.
