Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party by Hayley Williams

Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, Hayley Williams's third solo album, didn't so much come out as leak out on her own terms. She put 17 of its 20 songs up on her website on July 28, 2025, let them loose on streaming as standalone tracks on August 1, and then made it official on August 28 through Post Atlantic, her own independent imprint, two years after she'd left Atlantic Records. Two more songs trickled out in October and November.

The Paramore singer co-wrote the lot and played several instruments herself, with Daniel James producing and Jim-E Stack and Brian Robert Jones pitching in on a few tracks. It's alternative rock with the scaffolding showing, loose and restless, the sound of someone who owes nobody a hit. "Parachute" is the one rock radio grabbed. Critics lined up behind it, and it earned her three Grammy nominations.
