Hayley Williams removes surprise album Ego from website
The Paramore frontwoman's new song Mirtazapine aired on WNXP Nashville last week, before she shared the 17-track LP on her website, www.hayleywilliams.net.
However, those wishing to listen to the record had to make a purchase from the Misery Business singer's hair brand Good Dye Young's to receive a 16-digit access code
Hayley - who is now an independent artist after her major label deal expired - has since scrubbed the tracks from the website with a message reading: 'Hello, there. Thank you for listening.'
It remains unclear as to whether the tracks will ever be released on streaming services.
The 36-year-old star surprised fans when she gave little notice before dropping her second solo album, Flowers for Vases / descansos, in 2021.
Hayley dropped her debut solo record, Petals for Armor, in 2020.
Since her last full-length solo effort, Hayley has teamed up with hardcore rockers Turnstile on the song Seein' Stars and singer-songwriter Moses Sumney on the seductive serenade I Like It I Like It.
Meanwhile, Hayley has teamed up with David Byrne on his first solo album in seven years, Who Is the Sky?.
She features on the track What Is the Reason For It? on the upcoming collection from the Talking Heads star - which is due out in September.
David previously shared a cover of Paramore's Hard Times for Record Store Day, while Hayley released a rendition of Talking Heads classic Burning Down The House on the Stop Making Sense tribute album.

Paramore drops new tracks to celebrate All We Know Is Falling's 20th anniversary
Paramore have released four new tracks as part of their deluxe edition of All We Know Is Falling. The Hard Times hitmakers - which consists of singer Hayley Williams, drummer Zac Farro and guitarist Taylor York - released a new version of their debut album to celebrate its 20th anniversary on Friday (25.07.25), and the band have now dropped four additional tracks. The EP contains three new songs from Paramore - O Star, This Circle and an earlier version of Emergency. The album also includes a cover of the Failure song Stuck On You. The tracklist also features Emergency - Crab Mix, a remix featuring intensified screamo-style vocals from Josh Farro, the brother of drummer Zac Farro, who departed the band in 2010. O Star is a slower, more reflective song that captures the band's determination during the early stages of their career in a challenging industry. Meanwhile, This Song reflects on the feeling of being trapped in the same place while convincing yourself that progress has been made. Both tracks were originally featured on their 2006 EP The Summer Tic, which was exclusively sold during that year's Warped Tour. The last of the new songs is a cover of Failure's Stuck On You. Williams previously said that the band was 'one of the top three reasons why Paramore even exists'. York added that the band has 'been one of the most influential on [his] guitar playing'. This comes after Williams debuted her new solo song Mirtazapine, on Nashville public radio station WNXP. The track is the 36-year-old singer's first solo work since 2021's Flowers For Vases / Descansos, and it has also been teased that a B-side, titled Glum, is due to drop at a later date. Before the song's release, Williams teased its theme by sharing a grainy photo of a Mirtazapine bottle on Instagram. On the track, she sings: "Here comes my genie in a screw cap bottle/ To grant me temporary solace. I could never be without her/ I had to write a song about her/ Who am I without you now?/ Mirtazapine, you make me eat, you make me sleep/ Mirtazapine, you let me dream."
