Hayley Williams has officially released her new album Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, available everywhere now. Earlier this month, she surprised fans with 17 unsequenced singles, sparking a wave of creativity as listeners built their own tracklists and even launched hayleysingles.com to share their versions. Inspired by these fan-made playlists, the final album arrives with 18 songs, including one brand-new track, “Parachute,” which was just named Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show (August 28).
Hayley Williams – Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party
Physical editions of the album are available for pre-order ahead of its November 7 release. Fans can choose between black and “Zissou Clear-Wave” vinyl via Hayley’s webstore, with six more color variants (including Highlighter Yellow, Marble Yellow, Orange Juice Splash, Crystal Clear, Grayscale Metallic Silver, and Poolwater Wave) available through select retailers. A special “Ego Gold Marble” vinyl will be sold exclusively in her home state of Tennessee. For a nostalgic touch, Williams is also offering 1,500 limited-edition CD-Rs, designed to feel like a DIY mixtape from the early 2000s, complete with her handwriting—available now on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Produced entirely by Daniel James, the album highlights Williams’ versatility as she wrote, performed, and recorded across the 18 tracks. Longtime collaborators Brian Robert Jones and Joey Howard contribute throughout, alongside Jim-E Stack on “True Believer”—a track that recently earned Williams her first solo Billboard Alternative Sales #1. The release marks a new era of independence: following Paramore’s announcement in December 2023 that they had completed their longtime contract with Atlantic Records, Williams is now self-releasing music under her new imprint, Post Atlantic, distributed via Secretly Distribution.
