After a five-year-long hiatus, Paramore returns with their sixth studio album, This Is Why. It was created as a response to the plethora of global issues that affected the planet during their time off, and a result of introspective conversations about the state of the world and their role in it as a band finally maturing and moving on from their tumultuous history – in their nearly twenty years together, it also is their first album made by the same line-up as the one from their previous release, After Laughter. They describe it as their most collaborative effort, with each core member (Zac Farro, Taylor York and Hayley Williams) equally contributing to it.
