The Top 10 Albums Out On Feb. 5

In late January, Paramore singer Hayley Williams began teasing a new project. She posted cryptic social media posts and mailed mysterious packages to fans that included doll limbs and handwritten notes that said “Plant me.”

It turns out she has a brand-new full-length album that she wrote, performed and recorded on her own, at home during quarantine, called Flowers for Vases – descanos. It comes just eight months after Williams released her solo debut, Petals for Armor. On this week’s show we give a listen to the new album and consider the singer’s ruminations on life under lockdown.

Also on the program: the 20th anniversary edition of J Dilla’s Welcome 2 Detroit, a new direction for Foo Fighters, more creepy electronic music from John Carpenter and more. Nate Chinen of WBGO and Jazz Night in America joins WNXP’s Jewly Hight, NPR Music’s Marissa Lorusso, contributor Christina Lee, WXPN’s John Morrison and NPR Music’s Stephen Thomspon, along with host Robin Hilton, as they share their picks for the best new albums out on Feb. 5.
