This Is The News. (Paramore Review)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Paramore have released their new song "The News". I reviewed their previous single "This Is Why" and was quite impressed so I'm intrigued to see what they have install for us next. It was also lovely to see that Hayley Williams had seen the previous video we'd done on this channel. Let me know in the comments what you think of this Paramore track and maybe even this kind of "pop rock" in general. Can you and will you rock out to it?

Happy that you mentioned Hayley’s abilities as a frontwoman. It’s all well and good that she’s an amazing singer, but her stage presence, dancing and interactions with the crowd are so engaging. Tons of charisma. I know its still relatively early to make this call, but I think she deserves a mention in the conversation of all-time great lead singers/performers.
Song name at 2:41? Anybody know the title? Not a huge Paramore fan, but I do kinda dig that tune.
@@davej.meister5421the song is called “Ain’t it Fun”. Great song, love the use of the gospel choir at the end and the song has a killer bassline
Very few people in history can jump around as much as she does and still deliver an amazing vocal.
Taylor York's guitar work has been amazing the last two albums. he tries so many new and innovative things. glad to see them moving on from doing simple riffs.
he definitely has! and it's shows. tbh i feel in after laughter they were getting very experimentive and i kinda hope it sticks around.
Somehow, Paramore has been able to evolve their sound and keep the majority of their fans while gaining tons of new ones. That is so damn rare and I love to see it 🤘
I heard quite a bit of Rush in this song, especially Geddy Lee. The drumming is reminiscent of the late great Professor Neil Peart. Almost similar to Permanent Waves era Rush with a tad bit of Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows. Those albums were when Rush morphed into the new wave thing. Paramore must have listened to Rush before recording this track. All it's missing is the keyboards. Then we have a female-fronted Rush.
I never paid attention to Paramore back in the day but I really love their new stuff, and let’s face it, Hayley’s just so damn cool.
Loved "Decode" when it came out.
@@thirstypilgrim97 wasn’t that the twilight soundtrack? That would be why I skipped that one 😂 I really liked Paramore, After laughter was a bit hit and miss for me, but I really love the news and this is why.
Been following them since 2005 and it has been such a journey. Their music has seemed to fit ever era of my life! Welcome nonetheless. You're trapped now
Their older stuff is better overall. What's cool about her? lol She's like any other big pop singer
@@carpediemearth well that’s the beauty of us all being different, it’s subjective isn’t it? I personally I don’t like their older music as much. As for why she’s cool, that’s easy, she sounds amazing, has an incredible look, doesn’t take herself seriously, is vulnerable, strong, opinionated without thinking her opinion is the only right one, generally not a poser or one of the out of touch and unaware of their privilege “squad” pop girls we are spammed with constantly, just generally backs herself with great talent… I could go on.
It must be so strange getting reactions about your reactions from the people you reacted to.
Great to see your channel going from strength to strength. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I know he's a TOP professional. But.... I can't believe how quickly he can solve the puzzles to these songs.
ikr, it's crazy. he's so fast
That’s what I noticed to! He just figures out the whole thing as it’s been played back to him. Great ears
Every musician's main instrument is their ears. Figuring out the chord progressions in a simple song like this is an essential skill, the more difficult stuff Justin showed was in understanding the relationships between the sounds as they evolve within the song (the timbre of the spoken word vocals interacting with the bass giving the sound a different 'colour' for the new section). That's what you need to understand to be a great songwriter. Well that and some other stuff, usually.

Well.... COUNT (no pun) ME OUT.....
It took me 6 of 8 weeks in the U.S. Army just to "get in step PRIVATE !"
Music theory baby. It's like a superpower If you actually put in the time to learn it :)
Most people don't have the patience.
I was at a festival where Paramore and Metallica were playing at the same time. I went to Paramore and Hayley was just like "you guys know Metallica is playing over there right?" They just couldn't believe we were all there but for me it's always been a very special performance.
I did the same with paramore and pearl jam 10 years ago. Good choice!
This is a cool comment with a beautiful story in it, thanks for this!!
Man, there's just something about seeing a musician gush over other musicians' work that just sparks pure joy! Paramore is the only band I can think of that every album they put out has been my favorite. I discovered them during Riot and didn't think anything would top self titled, and then they came out with After Laughter, which is my favorite album of any artist. I'm so excited for this album and love love love both songs they've released.
the self titled album is my favorite of theis and I have good reason to believe that their upcoming album will at least be tied with the self titled.
@@CourtTV. Same, self titled is just such a banger, but This is Why might sail up to become my favourite of all time. I'm so damn excited for it.
Paramore are clear winners when it comes to quality and consistently. Their last two albums are exceptional I doubted they'd better Paramore (the album), but After Laughter was better. I've learnt my lesson and don't doubt the new one will rise to even greater heights.
Would love to hear you do a Paramore retrospective. Their sound has changed so much, would be cool to hear what your favourite of era of the band is.
That's a great idea!
Oh, yes please!
I decided to give Paramore a proper listen after Justin's take. I absolutely love the band now as a 37 year old, despite never being interested in the past. My 6 year old son has an enormous crush on Hayley but also loves to rock out to the music on our drives home from school. 🤣
Having a crush on Hayley is a rite of passage 🤘🏼 haven't listened to anything 'heavy' for years and years but will always have a soft spot for Paramore
Locking Diff... your 6yr-old son has great taste in women and music. I'm 65 and I think I have an enormous crush on her too. And this band is one of the best out there now in this power pop/rock genre, taking a lot of the usual tricks and doing something not at all cliche. Hayley is the Anti-Avril. I'm all for that.
Drives to and from school are the best for exposing the kids to music
I was never interested until After Laughter
Their album is lining up to be their best work yet!
It really is
ngl i still think Brand New Eyes is their best, but I am still looking forward to the new album
Brand New Eyes their best but this album is being a big threat to Brand New Eyes. Let's see.
For me it's got to be Riot; nothing will ever surpass it. Though perhaps I'm biased in that, Fences was the first song I ever heard of theirs. Riot is where I discovered them and where I fell in love with them 🥰
I'm a sucker for Riot! for pure nostalgia and it being able to bring me right back to a specific time in my life, but imo they've never released a bad album
All of us young gen xers and elder millennials are loving that bands that shaped our teens/20s are either making relevant music again and/or making a resurgence. What a time to be alive.
Why the hell is everyone obsessed with generations!!! I mean I’ve just gone through a phase of defending mine but it’s unnecessary, a few years ago I knew old and young didn’t 100% understand each other but changes came and went because time wasn’t stopping, why are we discussing our generations as if it’s a race for whose got the best, Just Me?
@@styepen602
Well, it really became a pop culture thing, in the 70’s and 80’s, as the Baby Boomers, became captains of industry and the politicians, who they would’ve hated in their youth.
There was also such a massive spike in children born in the 50’s, thst it was an actual Baby Boom, hence Baby Boomers.
It’s as simple as putting a name on different eras of people born within a ten year or so time frame. The reason it became so prevalent on social media, and then in news media, is because it became an insult. Whether, the older generations calling the younger by their generation name, or the younger doing the same.
Except, I really don’t think many young folks actually know how old a “Boomer” actually is. As, so many use the term for anyone that they believe is older than 30.
@@styepen602 Chill... In OP's context it's a convenient way to specify his/her age without too much specificity. @kimsteele2601 totally agree (and am also in the difficult threshold of young gen xer/elder millennials heh)
"Elder millenials!"
Elder millennial, listen up bucko!!!
Best song since their second album for me. Great to know Hayley watches the channel too, good taste!
I'm a new fan of Hayley and Paramore and they have quickly become an absolute fave of mine. I've quickly bought all 5 albums on vinyl, and got tickets for their upcoming tour stop here in Charlotte. Obsessed.
Hayley has one of the best voices in Rock.
oh %1000. have you SEEN the into you just vocals vid?
Apparently influenced by Geddy Lee and Rush. I hear a little bit of Rush in Paramore's early stuff...and even this.
What is the song played live in the flash clip shown at 2:41?
Honestly, before The News I was fine with Hayley being quietly angry (like on her solo albums where she's just seething, or even After Laughter's rage hidden behind pop beats), it felt like a nice change of pace. But hearing her just scream out her frustration again is so fucking great. I guess I stand corrected. Pop-punk Pmore just hits different.
taylor york is such a brilliant guitarist and songwriter.
🥰🥰🥰
"Maybe the young ones have had enough of that silty sewage porridge music I'm always going on about" :D :D :D
It has a serious Cure vibe in the instrumentation and guitar parts with a bit uptempo performance. For me at least. This is why reminded me of Talking Heads. Great songs. What's next some Depeche Mode flavours? I want to listen to the new LP now.
sounds a bit Veruca Salt-ish
Nothing wrong with that.
Love the video. Do not like the song. The lyrics and main melody are awkward.
should be shouting out Taylor the guitar player who writes the majority of the guitar riffs
They have never been my style of music but she has always been an amazing front person. Tons of charisma. The band always sounds tight. Great band.
No band in tightness compares the tightness Rush had. Geddy, Alex and Neil were like brothers. Family men.
Yes very Bloc Party, which is fitting given they will be playing together next year
I prefer the Hayley of the past few years to the early Paramore Hayley. She's more mature.
Justin, my darling, loved this review loads!! You have _got_ to listen to their song 'Part II' off their self-titled from 2013...An absolute banger of a rock song that also calls back to another song of theirs 'Let The Flames Begin' (atp you should also just listen to their album RIOT! if you haven't lmao)
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnn 🎸🎼🎵🎶
Did he ever really stop?
@@RByrne No and I hope he never does.
This song gives major Ignorance vibes, I love it
As a 31 year old, they were the part of the soundtrack to my teenage years. All we Know is Falling, Riot and Brand New Eyes hold very special places in my heart. The self titled one took a long time to grow on me, but there are some absolute gems on there. Really liking their new stuff as well!
Paramore never cease to grow and develop into cooler and stronger musicians and I'm here for this new stuff 1000%
Justin cheers me up… he’s an upbeat, quirky, funny guy. I know nothing about these bands or guitar chords etc, it’s still a very watchable channel because he’s hilarious.
They sound like one of the bands from The Bronze in Buffy.
😂
😂 This! 😂
That is great call out; nice one!
Paramore has been a band that with each shift in sound and era has really synced up with the progression of my own music taste all the way back to my teen years. very excited for the new album
This! Literally this!
Loved paramore from day one and they are touring with my other love… Bloc Party 😮
Hayley is so bloody awesome 😎
That was nice of Hayley to give you a mention.Can only boost the channel even more👍
Dan mentioned in an interview that you were into progressive stuff at one stage. Did you ever listen to band called the Ozric tentacles and if so what did/do you think about their music? My Dad was the bassist but I never got to meet him.
TLDR: Yes, yes... YES! It is very exciting Justin 😁 Paramore is my all time favourite band.
STORY TIME:
For me they were the first band I truly fell in love with, and that I didn't know by proxy. I was in secondary school, the Internet was still fairly new and exciting with Haul vids and ASMR just starting to become a thing on TH-cam (before it was even called ASMR).
One day I spotted this vid suggestion of this girl un-boxing some cosmetic product called something like Jurgens and doing it all whispered. My curiosity was peaked and here I was about to kill two birds with one stone; to finally find out what these two new trends were all about.
However I wasn't able to focus on the subject of the video for long. As fate would have it playing in the background was the song Fences from the Riot album. Though, this was brand new music to me and it was muffled in the background - the video only long enough for a section of the song.
I watched that video dozens of times and spent weeks googling potential lines. Until eventually I found the song. I soon started listening to more paramore, discovering their first album as well. But most of all I was super hyped to tell my best friend at school about this band. She had introduced me to Panic! - so they were "her" band - but now this was "mine" to introduce her to (of course we both share a love for both bands).
What felt really special though was when, around a month or so later, I started hearing lots of people at school talking about this new band. As it happened I had discovered them just before they really became big in the UK.
A few years later (I think in 2010) I was lucky enough to see them in concert at Wembley Stadium. Lucky being the oporative word; it snowed and we barely made it on the train, missing the support act entirely. I've since been lucky enough to see Buble and Adele at the O², getting extremely lucky with the Adele seats - near the front and nigh on level with the stage. But even those two titans, in that arena, pale in comparison to hearing Paramore play from the arse-end corner of Wembley, way up in the gods 🥹🥰
My oldest daughter is really into Paramore, and I have to admit their newer stuff is rad. Really mature songwriting. Cool chord changes. Surprising and avoiding cliche. So well done. This new record is gonna be truly great, I predict. And what a powerhouse live act. Jeez.
Hayley's solo stuff is actually really great, not too into Paramore, but there is no denying they are talented !
Hayley Williams seems to have brilliant taste in music. She's namedropped so many great bands that I like.
@I Just Wanna Talk About Games Calm down.
I heard she is a Rush fan. I think she cited Geddy Lee as an influence. I could hear Geddy and Rush doing "Decode."
I really like this track more than the previous one.. Paramore has been a fantastic band for a long time. I'm happy to see them back. We needed this on the radio, to stomp all the pop crap out. Real music. I'll just come here when I want to know if anything good has come out. Thank you Justin.
I love how many artists are into JHRA - Congrats!
Not to be confused with Here is the News by ELO
Or Turn Off the News and Build a Garden by Lukas Nelson
Damn those clouds!
One thing that occurs to me listening to the new Paramore stuff is how much of a groove they're in. Like, in the late 90s there was a song by Fatboy Slim called Acid 8000 built around this sample of "If this don't make your booty move your booty must be dead". THAT is how I feel about the new Paramore stuff, it makes you want to move. And that's one of the core elements I feel has been missing from so much modern rock. They've absolutely NAILED that.
And with their electric live performances, which btw I've seen several so far and I'm blown away by how tight the current line up is.
I genuinely hope they appreciate what they've got here and keep it going, because this is a breath of fresh air. And thanks very much Mr Hawkins, not just for your own great music but sharing this and others I likely would've missed. People who share good art with you are to be treasured.
Justin, your awesome man. I love your channel!
She's a Mississippi girl. Just in case you guys wanted to know why she is so perfect.
You are correct my friend. As a spouse to a Mississippi girl myself.
Been a Paramore fan since day one, and I am constantly amazed with Hailey's voice with every new album ...
You are brilliant. My therapy.
So glad you heard Hayley giving your video a shout out!
Feel like she did that Coachella part with Billie eilish then she was I can do this! Hold my beer kinda thing.
Probably about 3/4 of paramore's song's have the same structure where on the third and final chorus, they'll usually play the chorus twice, and Hayley will sing it with completely different harmony and on the repeat she'll sing it normal. I love how every melody Hayley comes up with for a song, she always manages to come up with interesting variations and always finds the best places in the songs for them.
Imagine paramore doing a cover of “Love on The Rocks With No Ice”.. sounds fantastic in my head .
I hope this comment finds you well.
Upon watching The Umbrella Academy I can't help but think that the character of Klaus Hargreaves is a pale imitation of you.
Love your work, and even more so now that you're doing this wonderful podcast.
Thank you for being a sun in this dark and dreary world.
XoXo❤
From one old fella to another, thanks mate. You've done it again. After your first look at Ghost I have spent the last few months immersed in their back catalogue (geez, that almost sounds like a lewd euphemism), and after hearing this I enthusiastically look forward to doing the same with Paramore. Cheers for keeping me plugged into what the kids are doing nowadays, the soundtrack to the apocalypse is starting to sound pretty good. Much love to everyone out there!
Gen Z Paramore fan here to join the crossover lol! If you’re a fan of this sound specifically I recommend the albums Brand New Eyes and Paramore/Self Titled as probably your best places to start :)) BNE is the musical peak of their rock, “pop punk” sound, and Paramore, being their “first pop album” but also being heavily contrasted by tracks that are sonically their heaviest and closest to the sound of The News out of their whole catalogue! Happy trails and welcome to the Ghost fandom too haha!!
They were always good, but since they ditched the heavy guitars, I feel they have moved up to another level.
The sonic palate is so much richer, the grooves come out more and there is way more dynamic.
I really enjoyed Hayleys solo suff as well. Properly creative artiste that one.
"I never thought we were a 'Cool Guy' band"
....Hayley, you're in Paramore. That's cool.
Justin just taught me that Paramore's song is GREAT ACOUSTIC.
Dats what it's all about nah!Yer A Big Influence!Wolfgang said It is A cool thing ta be Jamming and Appreciate,the People or Bands ya Grew up with in Highschool and so forth,Like You,Justin!Take care always!The new Paramore is Slammin ta me,compared to the past 4,me.Atmospherics,in Rock,placed Properly can Go Real Far,!Intensity n Simplicity,ta keep it Ambient,nah!Jcs
I didnt like them until i heard this new album.
Right there with ya
I think we’re well overdue a compilation video of all of Justin’s intro theme jingles
I was heavily involved with Paramore on their earlier records and I’m just gonna say this… that band ate more donuts than any band I’ve ever worked with. It was disgusting. They would eat 20 donuts before a single take. Then they’d take a break and eat 4-5 more donuts each. Then another take. Then another break. At one point I vomited because I was so disgusted but they just kept eating more Krispy Kreme. But, they wrote some hits so maybe it was their secret sauce LOL
You need to get a t-shirt with ‘Hayley Williams says I’m a cool guy’ and every now and then when your daughter is least expecting it wear it out with her.
My daughters are 23 and embarrassing them with things like that and Dad jokes in front of their friends is one of my joys in life.
Hey Hawks... I like it when you do arrangement breakdowns on songs... it's always interesting thankyou sir!
I watch nearly all of your videos and really like them. This one though, is awful. How can you describe this noise as 'music'?
Paramore rarely disappoints me. Another solid song, not always the biggest fan of this blatantly politically driven lyrics without a metaphors or anything but given their love of old hardcore I can hear that’s the vibe they’re going for.
Has a real Marmozets kind of vibe, if you’re into this, give them a listen you might dig it.
Love Paramore, Love your reactions, let’s get this day started!!
Great band and Hayley is a fuckin awesome front person.
one thing I like about paramore is that, their song feels like I need to push forward in whatever I going through. listens to them since 2006i the have this signature that it gives you feeling of eagerness to success to whatever.
Paramore is a mix of stuff we have heard before. There is nothing new or creative. Justin is being kind in his analysis.
Never listened to Paramore. Wrong generation. This is awesome - downloaded
I'll be honest but I never knew who Paramore was until I came to this channel.
Justin. You are too damn cool. I have so much respect for you Sir. Thank you!
Justin, this was a “brilliant” reaction video. I have not been much into Paramore in the past; however, you kindled an interest here. Now, I’m looking forward to the much delayed release of Paramore’s new LP. Thanks, Justin.
loving the fact that justin hawkins likes paramore!
He's NOT the only one. Geddy Lee likes the progressive and heavy (NOT poppy) side of Paramore. John Kay of Steppenwolf mentioned that his grandchild listens to Paramore. And Kay himself sort of endorsed them.
You deserve the recognition.
It’s like Paramore are an entirely new band whilst remaining the exact same band. I don’t know how they’ve done it, but this new material is absolutely fantastic. It sounds simple but it’s all so clever.
this is my new favorite Paramore song! I wish there was more of this style on the album :')
Haven’t really listened to Paramore since their early stuff but looking forward to this album, sounds great so far
This song absolutely rocks I’m so glad you’re covering this
Justin, I think you should check out waterparks. They're a fantastic pop punk turned more like electronic rock band? I put question marks cause it is hard to nail down their genre now now a days, but the frontman, awsten wants it that way. He also has synesthesia and it plays heavily into their music.
Paramore completely passed me by until a couple of years ago when I saw the video for Rose Coloured Boy. I was mesmerized by Hayley and have took notice since. She's an amazing person.
This is Why is a banger! I never listened to Paramore that much back in the day when they were huge, but their new stuff has made me a real fan.
Absolutely loving the new material from someone who has never previously been a fan before their 80s synth phase a few years back.
Let's leave Weezer alone though ;-). I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on their new material.
The guitars remind me The Cure.
Hi Justin x Have you heard The Mysterines cover of Lonely this Christmas? It’s a smasher! 🎄
i still cannot believe i missed a big release such as this
Hey Justin, random comment here, but with your personality, I think you'd make a great Doctor Who. You have immortal time-lord vibes.
Haley is a giant talent
Sometimes when I'm sat down with my guitar, on my own with no one around, I'll play and sing "juuuuuuustin hawkins riiides aaaaagain.... aaaagain" (various widly diddlies)
That is one surprisingly catchy intro riff and a satisfying falsetto, I think this is why you have huge artists like Paramore talking about the professionalism and quality of this channel, truly a marvel
They were one of the current bands I really latched onto when I was a kid in the 2000s, so it’s great feeling when they continue to release great stuff like this. In really like how the single captures some of that Brand New Eyes era vibes and incorporates it into their current sound.
Ooooh. I'm 58 and just got called part of a "younger audience." I'd never seen this band, until they appeared on Kimmel. I'd heard references to them, from time to time, but I got the impression they were a group of middle-aged instrumental virtuosos who wrote long, sophisticated but uninteresting songs. Instead, here's an enchanting young woman heading up a 3-piece group that serves up a very catchy song in less than 4 minutes. Instant fan.
I wasn't a fan of the last song (I thought it was just generic boring indie pop) but this was much better. Not amazing imo, but a LOT better. At least I'm excited for what comes next, cuz before this I RLY wasn't
I'm so excited about their new stuff. I think there’s a really good chance that the upcoming album will become their best work yet. I've been a fan for a while and it’s so nice to see that they are always evolving and trying new things. I just got tickets for the Brazil tour. So excited! Also, it made me really happy that Hayley saw your video. Your channel is brilliant and to me one of the best things in TH-cam nowadays. Thanks for doing such an amazing work, and keeping things fun and interesting, Justin!
Just after this notification appeared, I get notification of Riffs to learn by Andy Guitar. They are The Darkness riffs!
I get so much Incubus A Crow Left of the Murder vibes from their new stuff, and I love it!
Really? I love that album, might have to check the new Paramore when it drops
Here because Hayley mentioned this on that interview . I saw her in london in April her vocals were phenomenal and she has so much charisma. The band were really tight and it was one of my favourite gigs in recent years. I was a bit ambivalent about seeing her mostly went cos my dad and son wanted to go but i was absolutely mesmorised but their performance.
Almost a mix of The B-52’s and Blondie. Different and, yes, it’s great to see so much rock coming back. I wonder if we might hear something new from The Darkness, you may have heard of them?
Zac Farro completely stole the show. His beats are so good
