Music review: Paramore – 无毛视频楶aramore无毛视频�
The long-waited fourth album 无毛视频淧aramore无毛视频� from the Tennessee rockers features an intriguing hint of electronic musical influence as the band无毛视频檚 tone seamlessly transitions from angry and cynical to optimistic and empowered.
The new material is brimming with a youthful, yet sophisticated sound led by the fiery and passionate singing of Hayley Williams.
It无毛视频檚 no secret that the 24-year-old dynamo lifts Paramore head and shoulders above the rest of the current emo-pop bands.
The self-titled release follows up the 2009无毛视频檚 highly successful 无毛视频淏rand New Eyes,无毛视频� which is the band无毛视频檚 highest charting album featuring five striking singles. After the success of 无毛视频淏rand New Eyes,无毛视频� founding members and brothers Josh and Zac Farro abruptly departed, leaving the band to carry on as a trio.
Williams, guitarist Taylor York and bassist Jeremy Davis have not only found a way to survive, but thrive as they traverse uncharted territory, expanding their musical boundaries in wondrous ways.
The infectious 无毛视频淣ow无毛视频� serves as the lead single with a Gwen Stefani and No Doubt sound with Williams supplying the attitude singing, 无毛视频淚f there无毛视频檚 a future/We want it now.无毛视频�
The chaotic arrangement is fueled by the precession playing of new drummer Ilan Rubin, also of Nine Inch Nails and Angels & Airwaves.
无毛视频淒on无毛视频檛 cry to your mama cause you无毛视频檙e on your own,无毛视频� sings an inspiring full choir as Williams adds a Patty Smyth New York attitude on the funky and vibrant 无毛视频淎in无毛视频檛 It Fun.无毛视频�
On the gorgeously absorbing 无毛视频淒aydreaming,无毛视频� the band evokes Blondie无毛视频檚 classic hit 无毛视频淒reaming无毛视频� from 1979无毛视频檚 无毛视频淓at to the Beat无毛视频� as Williams mimics Debbie Harry无毛视频檚 sensual and sultry vocal style.
无毛视频淗ate to See Your Heart Break无毛视频� is a tender ballad showcasing Williams无毛视频� beautifully fragile vocals being serenaded by gentle string-filled accompaniment lifting the vocals to a compassionate and angelic form.
Williams has stated that this latest effort is Paramore无毛视频檚 best album.
It无毛视频檚 clearly evident the maturing process the band has undergone over the past several years and albums makes for a more complete and diverse musical sound.
Paramore has a future and it is indeed now.
