Hayley Williams, the force that is behind Paramore and an unstoppable solo sensation, has unleashed her inner beast alongside collaborator Daniel James in their electrifying project Power Snatch! With 'Great' and 'Training', two sizzling singles out now on major streaming platforms, this dynamic duo has just taken fans by storm. Released today, Friday June 26, these tracks follow the earlier single 'Assignment' and EP1, which dropped earlier this year, showcasing the chemistry between Williams and James.
Both 'Great' and 'Training' boast Tiberius b's artistic flair, adding an extra layer of depth to these pulsating tracks. 'Training', a sonic powerhouse, showcases Williams's distinctive vocals soaring over a thumping bass-heavy instrumental that cuts deep into themes of self-worth and entrapment. Listen out for the raw emotion in the chorus as she poses those haunting questions: 'I need training like an animal/Am I worth it, am I lovable?' Meanwhile, 'Great' is an electronic dancefloor-filler with a glitchy beat that perfectly complements Williams's probing lyrical questions about clarity and answers.
Die-hard fans will be thrilled to know that this collaborative work has been in the making for a while – we've even had a sneak peek at an unreleased track since 2025. James, who co-wrote and produced tracks on Williams's solo album 'Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party', has been integral to her creative process. With this new project, Williams is living up to her ambition to explore diverse musical avenues – as she told Rolling Stone last October, she wants to be part of 100 bands before hanging up her guitar! This isn't the first time we've heard about her desire for experimentation; in an interview with Kerrang! around the same period, she expressed her focus on writing outside of Paramore's boundaries before considering a follow-up to their hit album 'This Is Why'.
With her 2026 solo world tour still going strong – she's currently wowing UK and European crowds – fans are spoilt for choice when it comes to experiencing Williams's artistry. Her recent North American shows have received rave reviews, with her London Roundhouse gigs last week and Manchester Academy performances being standouts. And if you thought that was all – get ready for more! Williams has just announced additional tour dates in North America and Latin America, promising 'exciting surprises'.
For those who can't wait to dive into the Power Snatch sound, these two new singles are available now on major streaming platforms. But if you're craving a live connection with Williams's artistry, her solo tour is the perfect opportunity – it's an intimate experience that promises to be just as electrifying as her studio releases.
