Hayley Williams Releases New Song "Showbiz"
Hayley Williams has returned with a fresh single titled “Showbiz.” The release coincides with the long-awaited physical edition of her album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.
Musical Style and Production
“Showbiz” features crisp drums, a vocoder-enhanced chorus, and shimmering synths, offering a romantic indie pop sound. The track’s glossy production, crafted by Williams alongside her Ego Death collaborator Daniel James, channels the smooth, syncopated rhythms reminiscent of Phoenix.
Williams previously sampled Phoenix’s 2017 track “Fior di Latte” on her recent song “Love Me Different.”
Tour Teasers
While no official tour has been announced to promote Ego Death, hints suggest one might be in development. On the website where Williams unexpectedly released the entire album, a “trash” folder contained a photo showing a potential world tour route on a sheet of paper.
- North American cities listed include Atlanta, Toronto, Nashville, Chicago, Austin, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, and Los Angeles.
- Several UK and European dates are also indicated.
- The photo also features Williams’ dog, adding a personal touch.
Additional Tracks
“Showbiz” follows the earlier new song “Good Ol’ Days,” and both are part of the physical releases of Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.
