Wish Upon a Blackstar is the second studio album from Detroit-based electronic artist Celldweller, an artist you’ve probably heard before as almost all of his work has been featured in movies and games (His song “Pulsar” is the one of the menu songs for Asphalt 8). 'You really hear different sides of her on this album.I’ll preface this by saying that his is my all-time favourite album ever. ' 'People obviously give Hayley credit for being an amazing singer, but I don't think they really understand how versatile she is and how much her voice can do, ' York says. ' But the album should also earn Paramore new listeners, thanks to the trio's willingness to explore uncharted sonic territory, like the funky, high-stepping 'Ain't It Fun' (featuring soulful vocals from Williams, slap-bass from Davis, and the soaring sound of a gospel choir), the doo wop-inflected ' (One of Those) Crazy Girls, ' and the lilting, string-filled 'Hate To See Your Heart Break. Still present is a ferocious, churning energy (a hallmark of Paramore's sound) on 'Now, ' 'Fast In My Car, ' 'Proof, ' 'Anklebiters, ' and 'Be Alone. Which isn't to say the album won't thrill longtime fans. It's the most musically adventurous set they've released to date.

We've wanted to write songs like this for so long, but weren't there emotionally. Adds Davis: 'It's a lot happier and brighter album than people might expect given what's happened.

'I'm really proud of the fact that this is not an angry Paramore album, ' Williams says. Given the choice of packing it in or reinventing themselves as a trio, Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and bassist Jeremy Davis chose the latter and made a positive, uplifting album that reflects who they are in the present. Lead-off single 'Now' - with lyrics like 'if there's a future, we want it now' - sets the urgent tone of Paramore, the Nashville, Tennessee-bred band's fourth album.

They're about needing to find whatever's next. 'A lot of the new songs came out of that. He doesn't know what it is, but it's going to be great, ' she says with a laugh. 'I had this kind of Tony-in-West-Side-Story-moment when he sings about how something is coming. Description When Hayley Williams began writing lyrics for the songs that appear on Paramore's self-titled album, she found herself feeling more optimistic than ever before about the future of the band she has fronted since she was 15.
