Paramore’s Hayley Williams has shared several clips recorded during the production process of her 2021 album, ‘Flowers for Vases / Descansos’, including covers of songs by the Cardigans and Best Coast.

A slew of Instagram posts on Thursday (May 23) marked Hayley Williams’ return to her personal page, which had remained inactive since 2021. The Paramore singer shared clips of her working on ‘Flowers for Vases / Descansos’ songs recorded on her phone.

“[I] found more that i never posted way back when so just gettin em out of the camera roll and somewhere they can live forever,” she writes.

Aside from clips of her solo album songs, she talks about the choices behind the covers she shares, which includes an acoustic rendition of Audrey Hepburn’s ‘Moon River’. “Was there ever a sadder, sweeter song to sing to yourself?” she writes on its post.

For her Cardigans and Best Coast covers, however, she had more to say. Her cover of Best Coast’s ‘When I’m With You’, recorded in July 2020, was apparently done by request from the band’s frontwoman Bethany Cosentino, who had been collecting covers and tributes for her band’s first album, ‘Crazy for You’.

“I recorded it straight through my computer speakers like an asshole,” Williams wrote. “Bethany’s music has been so influential to so many new alt and dreamy garage rock bands and I love to give her flowers any time I can.”

 

For her cover of the Cardigans’ ‘Communication’, she reveals that the Swedish band’s 2003 album, Long Gone Before Daylight, is “a comfort album” for her. “on pandemic days when i had nothing to do but sing to myself and my dog, these songs held me tight.”

 

“that’s all i’ve got. unless i accidentally find more,” she concludes. Earlier this month, Williams tackled another cover – this time, with her band Paramore and in front of a massive 40,000-strong crowd, with Talking Heads’ ‘Burning Down the House’ while opening for Taylor Swift in Paris.

Boosie and his former artist Bleu fell out following his departure from his label, with the two unable to settle a contractual dispute.

But Boosie has now taken their beef to another level, mocking Yung Bleu’s son who has been diagnosed with autism.

In a social media rant, the controversial Baton Rouge rapper said: “N-GGA DONT GET MAD CAUSE YOU AINT BOOKED EVERY WEEKEND ACROSS THE COUNTRY LIKE YOUR CEO LOL DO U EVEN HAVE SHOWS?

“U STOP YOUR TOUR CAUSE U COULDNT SELL OUT THEATERS lol R DID I STOP YOUR TOUR .NOW YOU MAD CAUSE NOBODY WANT TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC ANYMORE.”

He added: “THEY WANT YOU TO PAY UP N DO WHATS RIGHT ?YOU MISERABLE. U DONT KNOW IF U WANNA BE A RAPPER , RNB,COUNTRY,R ROCK N ROLL ARTIST.”

Boosie then explicitly went after Bleu’s young son over his autism.

“U STOLE MY MONEY N WENT PUT DOWN ON YOUR FIRST HOME,” he wrote. “U SQUATTING SO WE COMING MOVE N NEXT WEEK SINCE YOU SQUATTING N MY OUR SHIT N YOU WANNA BRING UP KIDS REALLY.

“MAYBE MY KIDS CAN COME OVER N HELP YO RETARDED ASS SON COUNT TO FIVE . 1. 22222, 33333 , 4. 5555. GO WIPE ALL THAT DAM SLOB UP OFF THE FLOOR BEFORE YALL FALL DOWN N HURT YOURSELF.”

 

Yung Bleu opened up about his son having autism on “Live Forever,” a collaboration with Fridayy that appeared on his Jeremy album in April.

“My eyes get weary/ My youngest son got autism so I’m learnin’ to listen more than I ever did/ I want you to know that you heaven sent, you might be better than me/ You see my soul clear if you look deep,” he rapped on the song.

Boosie Badazz has previously criticized people for making money off his issues with Bleu.

“bleuvandross CAN YOU HALLA AT @empire N YALL GET TOGETHER N PAY ME MY MONEY N GET THIS OVER WITH,” he wrote. “THEY WANT US TO KEEP HAVING TO GO TO COURT MY N-GGA.

“THEY PUTTING U DEEPER N THE WHOLE BY PAYING FOR YOUR ATTORNEY FEES . WHY THEY DONT WANNA PAY YOUR TAB N GET THIS NEGATIVITY OFF YOU ?THIS IS WHY BECAUSE THEY MAKE MORE MONEY WITH US BEEFING MY N-GGA.”

Yung Bleu signed to Bad Azz Music Syndicate in 2016 and released a string of projects on the label, but departed in 2019 after Boosie allowed him to sign elsewhere. Bleu signed a distribution deal with EMPIRE for his Vandross Music Group label in 2020.
