Aug 23, 2022Hayley's vocals are pure love and her signature style of writing has the ability to transport you into the scene.
-
Aug 22, 2022Brilliant album, thoroughly enjoy Hayley’s solo work, she is so so so good!
-
Apr 12, 2022This album is absolutely brilliant. The lyrics are heartbreaking, but through the album they get more optimistic, so this album takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that never gets old.

Mar 25, 2021femininity and self-expression to its full extent, truly a no skip album. A clear move away from the paramore sound but a welcome change.

Mar 21, 2021Whilst Paramore's music tends to be all rage and release, solo Williams offers something much more quirky and cerebral, delving poetically and occasionally combatively into her insecurities. The elaborate intricacy of writing and production may be a lot to take in for all but devoted fans.

Mar 21, 2021Simplesmente um dos melhores álbuns de 2020. Ela conseguiu colocar nas músicas todos os seus sentimentos, revoltas e angústias de forma impecável e bela.

Feb 5, 2021Why we ever isn't just a song, ITS THE SONG. I love how the lyrics convey so much feeling.
-
Feb 5, 2021An absolutely beautiful record with deep and intimate as well as soaring vocals. Deeply intricate and oftentimes in the case of "Cinamon" strange instrumentation that shows the versatility of Hayley Williams. Definitely something to listen and go back to. The lyrical depth is astonishing; you really feel you get a look into an otherwise quiet world.

Jan 1, 2021Nesse álbum a Hayley mostrou um lado dela que estava escondido há muito tempo no Paramore. A letra, a melodia e as batidas foram muito bem representadas. Por esse motivo, posso afirmar, com certeza, que o álbum poderia entrar tranquilamente na lista dos melhores de 2020. Espero ter mais da Williams nos próximos anos.

Oct 24, 2020The album is full of emotion with beatiful ballads like Roses/Violet/Lotus/Iris or Why We Ever, fun songs like Sugar on the Rim or Pure Love, etc. Plus, the production of Taylor York makes it a good album to listen. The only bad thing is the way some lyrics are just simple and easy to see. But everything else is good.

Jul 27, 2020Williams leaves her heart and vurnerability in this record. She opens up to her way of getting over pain and we can all relate to that. This experimental approach she takes is perfect because it paves the way for a lot of different tastes in music to follow her along through hee journey of self discovery
-
Jul 25, 2020Unbalanced, but that was to be expected considering it was a debut solo album.
Obviously Williams tried to incorporate as many elements as possible to try to look more experimental and diverse than what she does in Paramore, but it's evident that her songs were not that solid to respond to her ambitions. -
Jul 24, 2020absolutely amazing and touching, i love this album so much, the beats and lyrics, i really love Hayley Williams, she is pure art.

Jul 7, 2020I did not listen Hayley's Paramore work. But i really liked this album. Maybe part 3 takes more time to like for me. But overall it's very good. I liked almost all the songs.

Jun 8, 2020It's a genuine album. You can her emotions with every track, and the instrumental alongside with add-ins really make it complete. This album allows you to hear her journey. The vocals and bass were also insane.

Aug 3, 2020An overarching concern on Petals… is how Williams constructs a workable new femininity free from her old tomboy identity in Paramore. The blooming metaphor is, as a result, slightly overplayed throughout. ... Although there are a couple of low-key co-writes, Williams and York remain the organising creatives, and Williams sounds both free and in control.
-
May 15, 2020This is a record which feels familiar and safely experimental, while Williams reveals more of herself than ever before. Just exactly who that is isn’t yet certain, and where she’ll go from here is anyone’s guess, but it’s sure to be interesting.
-
May 13, 2020Petals for Armor succeeds best at sustaining a mood throughout, capturing the chaotic ups and downs of depression. Some moments are sugary sweet, while others are biting and angry, but the album keeps things healthy by switching between infectious pop tunes and mellow art-pop parts.
