The voice that defined a generation of pop-punk now writes with a quieter, more personal touch.
If you want to hear where she started, put on 'Brick By Boring Brick.' For where she's writing now, try 'Watch Me While I Bloom.'
Williams has been writing songs that feel like they're speaking directly to you since she was a teenager. 'Ain't It Fun' showed she could pivot from Paramore's early energy into something brighter and more expansive. Her solo work like 'Dead Horse' strips things back to just her voice and a few chords, which somehow makes everything feel more urgent.
She started singing with Paramore at 15, on that first album 'All We Know Is Falling.' The band's sound shifted over the years, through lineup changes and different records. Now she's putting out solo material alongside Paramore albums like 2023's 'This Is Why.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
