Hayley Williams has announced a new album, Flowers for Vases / Descansos, out Friday. The LP follows her three-part 2020 album Petals for Armor and, like its predecessor, was produced by Daniel James and engineered by Carlos de la Garza.

Hayley Williams is out with “Cinnamon,” “Sudden Desire” and “Creepin'” off her surprise Petals for Armor 1 Ep. The Paramore frontwoman also released the third Warren Fu-directed video for “Cinnamon.”

The singer, who will release her debut solo album this spring, also performed her own recent single “Simmer.” Listen to the full performance and interview here.

Williams teared up while discussing having suicidal thoughts during the making of Paramore’s 2017 album After Laughter. “My dog is the reason I’m alive, because he would’ve been waiting on me to get home, no matter what,” she admitted. “You know how little sweet little puppies sit and they wait? I couldn’t think about it…whoa, I’ve never cried in an interview before.
