 
There has been a lot of hype and a lengthy wait
for new Paramore material but just last week they
revealed that their brand new album is going to
simply be called ‘Paramore’ they also
revealed that the album will feature 17 track,
3 which are interludes and now Paramore have announced
that their brand new single is called ‘Now’
and is due for release on the 24th February.
On first listen of ‘Now’ I was left
a bit disappointed and confused on the direction
that Paramore are heading in, but after listening
to the song a few times over I can confirm that
the song is defiantly a grower and has well been
the worth the long wait, the song is rawer sounding
than previous Paramore material and it sees them
go down a more indie meets rock route, yet when
the chorus kicks in and Williams sing’s
“If there’s a future we want in”
over and over you realise that despite upping
their sound Paramore are still being true to themselves
and their fans with that pop-tastic dance-a-long
chorus which everyone has come to expect from
Paramore songs now.
Over the past couple of years Paramore have gone
through tough times with the farro brothers leaving
the band and releasing a number of damaging statements
about Paramore and their relationship with the
major labels, yet ‘Now’ seems to be
like a big middle finger salute to anyone who
claims that Paramore are puppets on a piece of
string of the major labels as ‘Now’
is easily their most important and most daring
release to date, the release of album number 4
is not until April but I am sure ‘Now’
will please the fans until April comes around.
4/5
