Hayley Williams Releases New Song "Showbiz"
Hayley Williams has returned with a fresh track titled Showbiz, coinciding with the physical release of her album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. The song features crisp drums, a vocoder-enhanced chorus, and sparkling synths, delivering a romantic indie pop sound.
Musical Style and Production
The track’s production, crafted by Williams and her collaborator Daniel James, echoes the smooth, syncopated rhythms reminiscent of Phoenix. This connection is notable as Williams previously sampled Phoenix’s 2017 song Fior di Latte in her recent release Love Me Different.
