Paramore announced its collaboration with A24 and the band earlier this month with a trailer. Directed by AJ Gibboney and Zac Farro of Paramore, the clip shows Williams receiving a package in the mail containing the full costume replicating the one worn by Byrne on the original album cover.

Earlier on Tuesday, SZA confirmed in an interview with Apple Music that she was working on new music with Paramore. Williams spoke to WECB last year, and in a previously unpublished part of the interview, she said that both wanted to work on a song ” alternative » : « I’m a big fan of her voice. And what I love about her voice is that she can easily slide from one genre to another. She has a lot of songs in her catalog that seem very alternative to me and a bit like The Strokes, in a way. She just has that thing. »
