Hayley Williams has shared a new solo single with boygenius, “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris,” taken from her forthcoming album Petals for Armor, out on May 8 via Atlantic Records. Last month, Williams surprised-dropped the first part of her album with a five-track collection, Petals for Armor I. She also released a series of official videos for previous tracks like “Simmer” and “Cinnamon.”
“Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris” is a floral-themed, sultry tune with background vocals from boygenius—the beloved indie supergroup of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. The string arrangements and subtle guitar lines give it a distinctly yearning quality and an underlying sadness.
As of now, it appears that Williams’ Petals for Armor tour dates are still on, but keep checking socials for updates from Williams and listed venues.
