"The new track arrives as Ego Death receives a long-awaited physical release (pick up your copy here). With crisp drums, a vocoder-assisted chorus, and sparkly synths, "Showbiz" is a more romantic indie pop offering from Williams. The song's sticky production, courtesy of Williams and Ego Death collaborator Daniel James, recalls the smooth, syncopated grooves of Phoenix - a fitting influence, as Williams sampled Phoenix's 2017 song "Fior di Latte" on recent track "Love Me Different." Stream "Showbiz" below."
"Williams has yet to announce a formal tour in support of Ego Death, but she appears to have one in the works: On the same website that Williams surprise-released the entirety of Ego Death on, Williams included a photo in the "trash" folder that depicts a possible world tour routing written on a sheet of paper (as well as her dog, who is objectively cute)."
Hayley Williams released the single "Showbiz" as Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party received a long-awaited physical release. The track features crisp drums, a vocoder-assisted chorus, and sparkly synths, creating a romantic indie-pop sound. The production by Williams and collaborator Daniel James emphasizes sticky, smooth, syncopated grooves reminiscent of Phoenix; Williams previously sampled Phoenix's "Fior di Latte" on "Love Me Different." A possible world tour routing appears in a photo on Williams' release website, listing numerous North American, UK and European cities. "Showbiz" and "Good Ol' Days" appear on the physical editions, and the project received recognition as one of August's best albums.
