Brand New Eyes

'Brand New Eyes' - co-produced by Paramore with Rob Cavallo (Green Day) - is a case study in the band's versatility and contains as many driving, first-pumping anthems like "Ignorance" as it does upbeat pop masterpieces like "Where the Lines Overlap" and lilting, acoustic ballads such as "Misguided Ghosts."



The rollercoaster ride that Paramore have experienced over the past few years was also a huge influence on the lyrics for brand new eyes, however it was important for Hayley Williams not to write a cliched collection of songs about the perils of success. "I watch all these bands go from being really hungry on their first album to talking about paparazzi following them around on their next one," Hayley explains with a laugh. "I was so afraid of sounding like that." Instead Hayley decided to dig into her own psyche and explore some of her deepest emotions. "I would sit in my room all day and not go anywhere, because I felt like I had to keep myself secluded in order to write lyrics," Hayley recounts. "I'm really proud because looking back on all the songs this is really exactly what I was going through and I think a lot of people are going through this, too." 



Featuring the massive singles "Ignorance" and "Decode", 'Brand New Eyes' is full irrepressible energy that has made the Nashville-based band one of the most popular rock outfits in recent memory.
