Paramore’s Hayley Williams has launched a new band called Power Snatch and already dropped three new singles. NME reported this development.
The announcement came during a joint show for Apple Music 1. Williams and her frequent collaborator Daniel James revealed their new musical project during this appearance.
“Hayley Williams has launched a new band called Power Snatch and already dropped three new singles,” NME reported. “The soloist and Paramore singer formed the band with frequent collaborator Daniel James.”
The duo used their Apple Music 1 appearance to make the announcement official this week.
“They appeared on a joint show for Apple Music 1 to announce the project this week, and confirmed that a new single called ‘Assignment’ was available to check out now,” NME continued.
The new venture marks another creative outlet for Williams alongside her work with Paramore and her solo career.
This latest project adds to Williams’ expanding musical portfolio beyond her primary role as Paramore’s frontwoman. Daniel James, her collaborator in Power Snatch, has been a key figure in her recent solo work. He produced her acclaimed solo album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.
iHeartRadio noted that the duo made their official announcement on January 30, 2026, during their Apple Music 1 appearance where they premiered “Assignment.” The track represents the band’s most prominent release, though it wasn’t their first offering to fans.
iHeartRadio also revealed that Power Snatch had quietly shared another track called “DMs” on their Bandcamp page the month prior to the official announcement. This suggests the project had been in development for some time before Williams and James decided to make it public.
Williams, who was born on December 27, 1988, has been the lead vocalist and founding member of Paramore since the band’s formation. Wikipedia confirmed these details. Her venture into Power Snatch demonstrates her continued evolution as an artist. She explores different musical territories while maintaining her primary commitment to Paramore.
The timing of Power Snatch’s launch comes as Williams continues to balance multiple creative projects. This showcases her versatility as both a collaborative artist and solo performer in the contemporary music landscape.
