Hayley and SZA on a track together would 100% make my entire life, no lie
I'm sayin!! 😊🎉
Hayley's even talked about it before.
Haley needs to jump on a remix to F2F!
Yesssss!!! Do it!
Same. I think Hayley would have been a really good feature on SOS
Plz Lord.
As a black girl is warms my heart to hear this type of conversation. Liking rock music was so alien to most of the people I was around and yet, being the only black person in a rock crowd, I also felt alien. Seeing paramore was the first rock concert where I felt not only belonging but I felt seen. I felt comfortable. I felt like I was home. It’s only the cherry on the cake that they happen to be my favourite band of all time. I’m so grateful to them for cultivating such a safe space for us all. I never had to shrink or avoid eye contact in their crowds. I could simply exist & it was so freeing. I love them so much! Amazing interview & let’s pray for a Sza collab pls ❤
paramore was just so important to me as a black mixed race kid. black people love paramore and its good to know that they love us right back
I agree 110% to everything this comment states, and stands for. Never felt uncomfortable or discouraged to be myself at their shows, and thank you for asking all the right questions! some of the best friends I have in my life were friendships formed as a Paramoere STANNN!
So well said. It makes me low key mad that we have to deal w automatically feeling like we gotta shrink or avoid eye contact in rock crowds to almost avoid possible confrontation and discomfort even if it’s in our heads bc of the lack of diversity and in not knowing how ppl are yt folks r gonna react when everyone should feel free to just enjoy the music; but I love that Paramore has created a safe space for everyone to exist by the way they represent themselves as a band and are welcoming. Also perplexing how liking rock as a Blk person is treated as if it’s alien and can create a complex when Blk folks spearheaded rock music . Representation truly matters in that sense which is why I get so happy when I see ppl like Willow Smith or Lenny Kravitz doing their thing bc it’s a reminder that even tho the genre has become whitewashed in the mainstream at least that Blk folks can do it too and do it well. Prince too!
I feel you on this because my family and the community I grew up around thought I was trying to be white and it was not that at all, I just was being me the girl that loves rocking out and hip hop.
Absolutely 💯
To be interviewing *Hayley Williams* on a (relatively small)(for now!) podcast named about *Paramore* , the interviewer was EXTREMELY composed! She conducted a great convo, awesome questions , so well done. I wish this shit was an hour + ! 👏🏽👏🏽
Congrats on getting Hayley. That's incredible
You could tell that Hayley walked the walk.. she was so comfortable talking about her proximity to blackness.
Met Hayley a couple months ago at the mall. Such a down to earth and dope individual. She brought up SZA immediately. You can tell she really admires her.
What mall do I need to be hanging out at to accidentally meet Hayley lol
I’m only five minutes in and already crying. As a black girl who grew up with Paramore like through middle school on, to hear Hayley say that seeing a diverse crowd brought her joy means everything. Like to hear that Hayley actively welcomes black fans and wants us to partake in the celebration of their music that’s really beautiful. There have been so many artists that I’ve loved growing up only to find out that they actively are anti-black which has been so hurtful so this is just kind of healing lol.
Haley’s always come across emotionally intelligent and empathetic and an ally. Love her. Thank you for this ep!! Loved the conversation x
I finally got to see Paramore for the first time this summer and it was everything I needed❤️ middle school me was SOBBING
SAMEEE
Adult me is SOBBING FOR YOU 🥹💓
Love to see it!
When I say SAME!!!
your composure in front of the hayley williams was magnificent, im sure it must have been hard to repress your inner fangirl 😂 id love a black people love kpop episode if you haven't done one already!
Ugh kpop is so fucking problematic! Full of racists.
Not to mention they honestly suck and refuse to give credit to who they TRY to mimic.
I'm 57 years old. Lifelong rock and metal fan. It was pretty lonesome being one of the few Black kids who liked Van Halen and Journey back in the day. We've always been in the scene but it was really hard connecting before the internet, lol. Both of my nieces are Paramore fans and they both cite me as their inspiration. I've been to a lot of concerts and though there aren't a lot of Black folks in the audience, we're there and I've never had any issues save one time in the OC (but that's because it's the OC, lol). It's cool that Hayley is being appreciative and open.
I been a fan of Paramore since I was 16, and now at 31, I still am. As a black teenager living in Belgium, I always felt like the only black person in the whole country who listened to Paramore. It's a great feeling to finally discover people who love them too!
Hayley Williams stan!!! This woman gets it! Appreciation of Black people & music without being a vulture. 🫶🏾💯💪🏾
I wish this was longer. Loved hearing Hayley talking about #1 Stunna 😂
I gotta listen to that!!!
Yessss!
Great job! I've been a black Paramore fan for 15 years and you managed to ask Hayley questions that I've never heard before.
She has always been invited to the bbq. Thank you for doing this, I have loved her since I was 11 and I'm 25 now, like her and Rihanna were the only reason why I dyed my hair red when I was younger. I finally got to see them live last year outside and I hadn't felt so happy, alive and nostalgic. They put on the best show it was invigorating, Hayley is the best. They are just so groovy that's why we love them. Hayley and Sza together would be a perfect alternative blend.
Stop it. We not inviting anybody else to the bbq.
I wish Black people would stop with the BBQ invitation foolishness. Just be a fan and keep it pushing.
This is so cool!!! I’m so happy the band realizes their impact on the black community 😊
As a longtime Paramore fan and coincidentally a Cash Money Dollaraire myself, I always knew Hayley was a boss stuntin' baddie like Evel Knievel.
for me, what i loved most was that she valued not centering herself or speaking over the black community. i think it really shows how deeply she commits to true allyship.
Shaking crying screaming throwing up in the best way possible
I just discovered this podcast and oh my god this is something preteen and teenage me would have NEEDED as someone that felt too “black” for the white kids and too “white” for the black kids. I’m 25 now and feel more confident in my interests but this podcast is everything. Gonna go back and listen to more episodes ❤️
This Hayley lady seems really cool. She should start a band! It sounds like black people would really love them 😂
In all seriousness, HOLY SHIT. You have peaked and I’m so happy for you. I love how *this* is the episode I discover your podcast through
I love this so much! I am a black man who grew up in the hood in new york city, raised listening to r&b, hip hop, soul, but somehow gravitated to punk, pop punk/rock, and other alternative genres of music in my teen years. Paramore soon became my favorite band and is still. I connected to the music on a special/unique level. Their first three albums were the soundtrack to a lot of strife growing up. Brand New Eyes is one of the best albums I've ever heard, especially in songwriting. They will always have a special place in my heart and their music brings back so much nostalgia. So yes, black paramore fans have been here since the beginning.
I love that this exists...the 10th grade Blerd in me who still screams RIOT lyrics is crying ! lmao thank you guys. Paramore is so special to all of us.
Not sure how you pulled this off but your amazing for it.
I remember when people would shun you for being Black and listening to “non black” music and now to see how embraced it is is awesome. Cause the real ones have always listened to rock and Paramore always been on that list so thank you for this. Also, a Sza and Lil Wayne feature would be insane
Same thing for latinos too, at least some circles.
Paramore, one of my favorite bands since their self titled album. Great musicians.Hayley has an incredible voice.
You are an amazing interviewer ! I would absolutely LOVE a ParamorexWillow collab, Willow is still learning herself as an artist and perfecting her sound and I think Paramore could help her so much and also allow Paramore with exploring that bridge between rock and groovey music.
I disagree; Willow found herself sonically.
@@adamdevereaux2713right.
@@adamdevereaux2713 I certainly agree, with Coping Mechanisms I believe she perfected her sound. But in one of her interviews she had said herself she’s still learning herself as an artist and looks up to so many musicians that have helped her discover her skills even more. Things that never occurred to her come natural to her now bc of shadowing and working with other musicians.
Even Hayley Williams had said as a musician yours always learning more and perfecting your craft. There’s an ever growing supply of things to learn in music.
Absolutely LOVED this interview!!!! I think that Hayley and Paramore do a really great and honest job of citing and appreciating the influences of Black music in their music and creating inclusive and diverse concert experiences, I think that Paramore’s work is genius and it’s also so clear that Hayley and her band actively grapple with and reflect on issues of race and culture in our society, which is never an easy path for anyone, so appreciate Hayley’s openness. So exciting that you had the opportunity to interview Hayley and loved hearing that Spotify made this connection, this is my first time hearing about this podcast, subscribing!!!
I know Hayley and SZA would go crazy, but Paramore and THUNDERCAT????????? OMFG????? YES!!!!!!!!!
I'm so fucking stoked for you that you got to interview Ms. Williams herself! And I'm so stoked for us fans of color to have such an incredible ally in her. Not just understanding that we love her but being proud that she and her band have created an environment that makes us feel seen and safe and loved and ready to fucking dance lmao. Congrats and much love!
Her answers just made fall even more in love with her ♥️ such a sweetheart.
YEEEESSSSSSSSSSS omg it wasnt long enough!!! Best Hayley interview ever I’m in tears!! 😭😭❤️❤️❤️ we need all the sza x hayley songs we can get!
A sza and hayley EP or Album even 😅
actually got her on thats insane !!!!
I’m glad UA-cam recommended this video. No black person I know listens to Paramore and I have loved them since high school ❤ I have to get to a show! I’ll going to subscribe to the podcast right now!
Im mixed race. Been a Paramore fan since 06
Black woman here. I have been a fan of Paramore since I was a teenager. I didn't care for rock or alternative music before then, and honestly, still don't. But when I discovered Paramore back in '08, I knew Hayley Williams was THAT GIRL! I was made fun of for blasting Paramore by my black friends back then, but now we ALL love Paramore and Hayley Williams. I truly love this band.
Found out about Paramore from playing Misery Business on Guitar Hero back in college, and been rocking with them ever since. It was me and 1 other black girl who openly rocked with them, other than that, we were outcasts amongst our peers driving down the block singing Hallelujah lol. For her it was something new, for me I had been into more than just hip-hop and R&B my whole life so it was no biggie. All that said, I'm glad more black people are branching out into other genres.
Absolutely love Hayley Williams, Paramore definitely helped me express myself growing up as a black girl and each album coincides with my life at different stages as a woman. Proud to say that my first ever concert was Paramore!
hearing hayley talk about cash money was SURREAL i love it
I love Paramore and I'm a 52 year old Black male.
I’ve been a fan since 2005, and I’ve never really thought about the fact that there’s a controversy (?) about black people liking Paramore. And I’ve never felt like it was wrong for me to like them or whatever. I guess maybe it’s different for me, I’m brown and I grew up in Scandinavia. But anyway, loved this episode! Hayley is just amazing.
It's within the community where black people are bullied for liking things outside of the culture
Garden by SZA is my fav too! She got great taste lol the melodies at the beginning are so beautiful and make u feel like you’re on a cloud I loved seeing Hayley’s cover when it came out u can tell she rlly loved it
Great interview, seemed like a genuine conversation. Now I'm not black but I am Mexican American and one thing I have always loved about going to Paramore shows (since '09) was that I never felt out of place. I can name other bands I love that I would go to concerts for and feel like oh crap I definitely don't belong but again not at Paramore shows, ever. I would always just sing along and have a great time with whoever was around me at the show.
What a great idea for a podcast! 👏🏽 Representing the underrepresented interests of Black ppl which makes it better for Blk young adults and especially Blk kids growing up to not feel so damn isolated or “weird” for their interests just bc it challenges the monolithic perception of the community that so many of our own ppl can even perpetuate! These kinds of representations can make people more comfortable to be in certain environments and discussions and I love that 💛💛
I'm so happy and thankful for this podcast and all the things you will accomplish Sequoia. This interview was everything. Wish it was longer but grateful for it.
My first concert was Paramore. I was 14 and my aunt took me. She also bought me my first beer, which i didnt like lol. But Hayley was moving all over. At one point, she climbed on one of the giant speakers lol she took her shirt off and was in joggers and a sports bra. It's one of my top 3 concerts I've ever been to
New subscriber, I've loved Paramore since I was middle school teen, so awesome you got to interview Hayley, great interview, Hayley and the guys always been invited to the cookout 🤣
You know what's crazy? A couple days ago I remembered this day in high school where I used a Coldplay & The Fray song for a PowerPoint I had to do. My homegirl started clowning me talking bout why you are using white music in your presentation. I was like, girl music has no color, and my teacher who was a white woman, was like omg Annie what did you just say? I repeated it and she got all excited and posted it on her Twitter she told me she was giving me extra credit just because of my song selections😂 mind you she had never heard either one of the songs before. That just goes to show you not everyone listens to the same thing. Everyone is different, and that's why I love music so much. Glad other black people enjoy "white" music just as much as me.
What's sad is that early Rock n Roll was dominated by black artists (Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Fats Domino, Arthur Crudup one of Elvis idols) but the black musicians were gradually pushed out as Rock became ever more racially and culturally gentrified. The fact that Rock music, with it's roots directly tied to African American blues, is now associated with white culture is a nothing short of cultural appropriation.
@@GPanda110 Agreed ! SAY IT LOUDER FOR THEM PEOPLE IN THE BACK.
As a ride or die Paramore fan, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this 😭🙌🏽
I'm not sure how frequently you come across comments 👑, but I've had this video saved in my 'Watch Later' playlist for a few days because it has definitely piqued my interest. (I'm watching it now), and I have a suggestion, if feasible: I’m not sure how often you have guests on, having at least two microphone stands could help create a more relaxed atmosphere for future guests. This can aid in better blood flow to their arms and allow them to focus more on engaging in dialogue with you. Your podcast is blossoming beautifully, and I wholeheartedly wish you continued success and all the best. 🙏🏽
i would DIE for a SZA collab! this was a great interview, its so cool that you got hayley on!!!!
The episode we all NEEDED! This was amazing Sequoia! And we need a SZA×Haley collab ASAP 🙏🏾
