]]>According to Williams, who posted the cover on social media, she was initially reluctant to take on the alternative rock legends despite her fans asking her to play Radiohead. Luckily, she ended up changing her mind.
“Seemed sacrilegious at first until I realized that the band themselves have never once regarded what they do as precious or never-to-be-toyed with,” Williams wrote on Instagram. “They are never beholden to any one version of their expression, and public affections don’t seem to sway them.”
Since the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, Hayley Williams has kept herself busy by covering songs from all kinds of different genres. Besides “Fake Plastic Trees,” Williams also did renditions of Björk’s “Unison,” Tegan and Sara’s “Call It Off,” and SZA’s “Drew Barrymore.”
Williams released her highly anticipated solo debut album Petals for Armor earlier this year, which was met with positive reviews. She planned to go on tour late in 2020 to promote the record, but recently announced that the planned shows have been canceled.

]]>Williams recently chatted with Zane Lowe of Beats 1 and shared that she once turned down an opportunity to collaborate with rapper Lil Uzi Vert. According to the singer/songwriter, the reason was that she didn’t want to become too famous.
“I remember Uzi asking me to do some stuff with him and I know that fans are going to be so pissed at me for saying this, but I literally wrote him back on Instagram and I was like, “Buddy, I love you so much, but I don’t want to be that famous,” Williams explained.
According to Williams, the offer came around the time when Paramore decided to go on a break. At the time, she wanted to get out of the spotlight for a while, so Uzi Vert’s proposal came at the wrong time.
“Because that is…He’s like a big artist, man. My stepbrother is obsessed with them. He was pissed when I told him the story,” she added.
Hayley Williams will release Petals for Armor on May 8th, with the album being preceded by two EPs. Williams already released three singles from the record, with “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris” being the most recent one.
