The divorce led to massive depression for Williams and a stint in rehab, as the experience brought up a reckoning of her own parents’ divorce. The couple were together for ten years but only married for only a little more than a year. ‘Petals for Armor’ serves as a document of the thoughts and feelings Williams has gone through during key moments in her life, notably her previous marriage with New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert. The fifteen-track album is predominantly synth/percussion driven with jazzy art-pop tones and spoken word but it’s Williams’ vocals that stand out. Petals for Armor is stylistically different than any Paramore record the subject matter reflective of struggling to achieve a successful relationship and the ultimate realizations that lead to hope and personal triumph. Ever since the release of the album’s first single “Simmer” at the beginning of the year, the hype and anticipation have been growing for a fanbase that’s followed Williams throughout her nearly sixteen-year career from her days in the pop-punk band, Paramore. The debut album from Hayley Williams titled ‘Petals for Armor’ (Atlantic Records) just dropped and it successfully captures her rawness and vulnerabilities.
