Hayley Williams is back with a new song, “Showbiz.” She’s also teasing a forthcoming tour in support of her new album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.
The new track arrives as Ego Death receives a long-awaited physical release (pick up your copy here). With crisp drums, a vocoder-assisted chorus, and sparkly synths, “Showbiz” is a more romantic indie pop offering from Williams. The song’s sticky production, courtesy of Williams and Ego Death collaborator Daniel James, recalls the smooth, syncopated grooves of Phoenix — a fitting influence, as Williams sampled Phoenix’s 2017 song “Fior di Latte” on recent track “Love Me Different.” Stream “Showbiz” below.
Williams has yet to announce a formal tour in support of Ego Death, but she appears to have one in the works: On the same website that Williams surprise-released the entirety of Ego Death on, Williams included a photo in the “trash” folder that depicts a possible world tour routing written on a sheet of paper (as well as her dog, who is objectively cute). The cities listed include Atlanta, Toronto, Nashville, Chicago, Austin, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Los Angeles, and several more North American cities, along with a handful of UK and European dates.

“Showbiz” follows new track “Good Ol’ Days” and both tracks are included in physical releases of Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. We named the project one of the best albums of August, praising Williams’ songwriting and describing it as “her most honest and urgent” effort yet.
