Hayley Williams has returned with a new track titled “Showbiz.” This song accompanies the physical release of her album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, which fans have eagerly awaited.
“Showbiz” features crisp drums, a vocoder-enhanced chorus, and shimmering synths, offering a romantic indie pop vibe. The production, a collaboration between Williams and Daniel James, evokes the smooth, syncopated grooves reminiscent of Phoenix. Williams previously sampled Phoenix's 2017 track “Fior di Latte” on her recent song “Love Me Different.”
Although no official tour has been announced for Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, there are signs Williams is planning one. On the website where the album was surprise-released, a photo in the “trash” folder shows a possible world tour itinerary alongside a picture of her dog. The cities listed include:
“Showbiz” follows the release of another new track, “Good Ol’ Days.” Both songs are part of the physical editions of Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.
“Showbiz” is a more romantic indie pop offering from Williams, with sticky production recalling the smooth grooves of Phoenix.
Summary: Hayley Williams' new song “Showbiz” blends indie pop with smooth synths and hints at an upcoming global tour supporting her recently physically released album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.
