#DECODE PARAMORE KEY MOVIE#

The Hit Netflix Movie That Plays a Real-Life Tragedy as a Twist The notion that “Black people don’t listen to that kind of music” is perpetuated by Black kids not being open about listening to that kind of music because that notion exists. Goffe: To use one of Rachelle’s favorite words: It’s sort of an ouroboros. I think their breakout hit, “Misery Business,” was a perfect testament to that: It’s the “I stole your man” anthem for girls who were raised on JoJo and Avril Lavigne, but aged up just a bit. And, the things she was singing about were deeply relatable because they, as Allegra said, were from a feminine perspective. She possessed the powerful voice that we’re taught to hail as a sort of hallmark of excellent Black singing, but she was laying it over this angsty, bubbly pop-punk music. What I loved about Paramore so much began, without a doubt, with Hayley Williams. Goffe: Riot! was the watershed album for me-I was introduced to the band via the first Twilight film, which featured their song “Decode.” As I started to dig into the band, I realized that I had also already loved some of their older songs, including one that I’d heard on the soundtrack of The Sims 2 (I know, I know-but have you ever heard Hayley Williams sing in Simlish?). That being said, Paramore is one of those bands that I’ll listen to regardless of the quality so this album will be in rotation. The tracklist is dotted with some core singles that represent the unique musical compound Paramore excels at and a bunch of tracks that slot nicely but forgettably into that newer sound. And I find that This Is Why has migrated from that sound palette toward something that, to me, feels a bit more familiar and less exciting. Hayley Williams’ personal lyrics and explosive, range-jumping voice was a powerful contrast to the heavier melodies. Think synths! Jagged drum lines! More major-key melodies! But, what I first fell in love with Paramore for was how it refracted the masculinity of pop-punk through a feminine lens, something that was incredibly rare when the band first debuted. Which makes sense! Both albums represented a transition from the pop-punk strains of Paramore’s previous records toward something more new wave. (Or, at least, since the second the album was announced.) I’ve listened to This Is Why twice all the way through thus far, which I feel isn’t enough to merit a real review quite yet, but my first impression is that the album is … fine? It sounds like a natural progression from both After Laughter and Petals for Armor, lead singer Hayley Williams’ first solo album. Allegra Frank: Excited to talk to you both about this album-I feel like we’ve all been waiting years for this moment.
