, Williams delves into the recent end of her marriage to New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert, cycles of trauma in her family, PTSD, and the rebirth that can come from exploring oneself.
I don’t really enjoy being in the spotlight. That’s the simplest way I can put it. I think it’s not too different from writing a Paramore record in that I always feel like, “Oh man, that’s the best thing we’ll ever make and we’ll never do it again.” [Laughs.] That set up a challenge and motivated me. I think [Taylor and I] have had enough experience as writing partners that we know that we’ll get somewhere. We just have to push. And it worked. Thank God.
It’s such a big step in your career to put out a solo record. Has releasing the album in the midst of this pandemic changed your perspective? Man, I’ve waited a long time to be able to say that and mean it. My first instrument was the drums, so I care a lot about how I pronounce words and emphasize syllables within a rhythm. So much of Paramore’s sound comes from syncopated rhythms and polyrhythms. Zac [Farro, drummer] and Taylor [York, bassist] are masterful at what they do, and I find my way to weave around that. I did the same thing with “Petals for Armor.
There’s a freedom that comes with being loved for exactly who you are, with all your darkness intact. That’s an external type of love that we all deserve. We should all fight to find that, even if it takes a million tries. There’s also love which you give yourself, and it’s more internally felt, happening inside all the time. That seems easier, but it’s harder. You’re in control of it.
