is this a concept album, singles feels more narrative-based than normal

I want to say they posted images of the vinyl packaging (including the insides), where lyrics can be read. Pretty sure I saw it on Reddit. Might be worth checking to see if you're possibly right or not. EDIT: Also, cool avatar. Loved Wolftron and DLD!

Sweet, extremely excited for this one! I loved "Monsters" and have avoided the 4 singles released so far, just so I can go in blind when it drops.

She’s also posted up <a href="https://bandteesmcgee.substack.com/p/360-deals">a blog</a> with lyrics and journal entries going back multiple years.</p> <pre class="wp-block-preformatted">Today, Hayley Williams has released a surprise collection of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://smburrcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001SYZ60MTZ23CrazDILRqGrxhWONyznVnSaF_QaT8AVS6HzJs388w1ybmghqLl89aZuDkq8V_0-3no_WWnKVG56mBvJXjqUGbe_q43GyjjyWes2R1qPthkHHY-MXVQL9PdVJnGND2s5_ybEf4Yl02odlo-ohw2b6lR&c=pVyrcn6o_kZpsfyufgEFVaORsShTz7x9GX3V1pVW0oC739-TZPc0Tw==&ch=55_Y26XIByROa0118FveiyfpmuZ55vAtrDXNxSVYIBqsED64gC_naA==" target="_blank">17 singles</a>, produced entirely by Daniel James. Williams wrote, played and recorded a variety of instruments across each of the 17 songs, with cross-project contributions from long-time collaborators Brian Robert Jones and Joey Howard, and contributions from Jim-E Stack on “True Believer.” Just last week, Williams made a surprise appearance at <em>Newport Folk Festival</em> where she played the song “Mirtazapine,” hinting at new music to come. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://smburrcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001SYZ60MTZ23CrazDILRqGrxhWONyznVnSaF_QaT8AVS6HzJs388w1ybmghqLl89aZuDkq8V_0-3no_WWnKVG56mBvJXjqUGbe_q43GyjjyWes2R1qPthkHHY-MXVQL9PdVJnGND2s5_ybEf4Yl02odh0OoZ3omyd2&c=pVyrcn6o_kZpsfyufgEFVaORsShTz7x9GX3V1pVW0oC739-TZPc0Tw==&ch=55_Y26XIByROa0118FveiyfpmuZ55vAtrDXNxSVYIBqsED64gC_naA==" target="_blank">L</a><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://smburrcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001SYZ60MTZ23CrazDILRqGrxhWONyznVnSaF_QaT8AVS6HzJs388w1ybmghqLl89aZuDkq8V_0-3no_WWnKVG56mBvJXjqUGbe_q43GyjjyWes2R1qPthkHHY-MXVQL9PdVJnGND2s5_ybEf4Yl02odl-rH0iZJCad&c=pVyrcn6o_kZpsfyufgEFVaORsShTz7x9GX3V1pVW0oC739-TZPc0Tw==&ch=55_Y26XIByROa0118FveiyfpmuZ55vAtrDXNxSVYIBqsED64gC_naA==" target="_blank">ISTEN HERE</a>. After 20+ years spent fulfilling their contract for Atlantic Records - a contract Williams signed as a mere teenager - Paramore announced in December of 2023 that they were finally an independent band. This surprise collection is self-released by Hayley Williams on her new venture Post Atlantic, distributed via Secretly Distribution. These 17 singles put Hayley Williams’ full range on display. “Mirtazapine” is a late-’90s alt-rock love letter to antidepressants, while on “Glum,” she subverts her own voice—using vocal presets to striking effect as the track meditates on loneliness. Other standouts include “Whim,” an easy Americana earworm with a songwriting backbone that nods to her Nashville roots, and “Ice in My OJ,” a thoroughly modern track that pairs sharp production with some of Williams’ most biting and humorous lyrics to date. Long-time Paramore fans may quickly recognize the “Ice In My OJ” chorus, as it was first sung by Williams in 2004 on "Jumping Inside" by the Mammoth City Messengers. The collection captures all the dynamism Williams has shown throughout her career and collaborations. At its core, these songs are the work of a supremely gifted artist with a voracious, genre-defying appetite for music and creative exploration. These songs come as the third batch of work released from Williams as a solo artist. The COVID-era saw her release two extraordinary albums - 2020’s <em>Petals For Armor </em>and 2021’s <em>Flowers for Vases. </em>Both albums were gorgeous and stark meditations on loss and offered up a contrast to the high-energy and up-tempo muscle she displays in Paramore. “The record—epitomizing vulnerability and transformative growth—reveals a more mature and introspective side of Williams,” said Pitchfork of <em>Petals, </em>and went on to say of<em> Flowers </em>“her voice is undoubtedly the standout feature… husky and gentle, dangerous yet warm,” and explained that the minimal production “makes this a purposeful reset.” Hayley Williams is a 3x GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter and musician best known for her role as the frontperson of legendary rock band Paramore. With her incredible range and delivery,<em> Billboard</em> ranked her at #13 on their list of <em>50 Greatest Rock Singers of All Times </em>saying, “when it comes to singers in contemporary rock, Hayley Williams reigns supreme.” Frequently listed as a source of inspiration from contemporary performers as varied as Chappell Roan, Doechii and Billie Eilish - she’s also appeared on a wide variety of albums and singles as a collaborator and guest vocalist including Turnstile’s latest <em>“</em>Seein’ Stars”, Moses Sumney’s “I Like It I Like It,” and Taylor Swift’s “Castles Crumbling.” Swift went on to have Paramore open the first ever<em> The Eras Tour</em> show that debuted in Arizona and later they went on to open all dates on the European leg of her world tour. At just 16 she brought the band to the masses with the release of their album <em>All We Know Is Falling </em>which was certified Gold and just celebrated its 20 year anniversary last week. The band’s breakthrough came with 2007’s <em>Riot!</em>, powered by the success of the 6X certified platinum single “Misery Business.” In 2009, <em>Brand New Eyes</em> solidified their place in the rock landscape. Paramore’s self-titled 2013 album marked a commercial and critical peak, with the platinum single “Ain’t It Fun” earning Paramore their first Grammy win for ‘Best Rock Song’ in 2015 and further nominations for ‘Best Rock Album.’ 2017’s <em>After Laughter</em> introduced a polished, ‘pop-influenced sound that continued to attract acclaim with the breakout single “Hard Times.” After a long hiatus, in 2023, they returned with <em>This Is Why</em>, a full grown, alternative-leaning record that earned the band two Grammy wins for ‘Best Alternative Song’ and ‘Best Rock Album’ making Paramore the first female-fronted rock band to ever win the category in its 31-year history. Hayley Williams' bandmate Zac Farro also recently released his first solo-work under his own name.

Really curious about the logic of releasing this as singles.

I downloaded all the 24 bit FLAC files, tagged them all as EGO (album title apparently) and did the website's source code track listing, that was posted in the thread. Great so far and love it as an actual album! Hopefully it gets a CD/Vinyl release to go with my other Hayley albums. Best part about having them all released as singles is that every song on the album has it's own cover, which is pretty cool.
