Paramore's Hayley Williams has said that she was 'super honoured' to lend her guest vocals to a new version of Chvrches' huge new single, 'Bury It'. Check it out below.
Having joined the band on stage numerous times throughout the last year to perform the track, the Scottish electro-pop trio finally invited the Paramore icon into the studio to lay down her vocal for the song to feature on a new expanded edition of their second album, Every Open Eye - due for release on 29 July.

“It’s been the coolest getting to know Chvrches after having been a fan of the band for a while," says Williams. "When they came to Nashville last year and we talked about hanging at their show, on the inside I was like, "Please please ask me to sing with you" Ha! I did end up getting to go on stage and sing with them and I even got to sing a verse to my favourite song off their new album. I feel like Lauren and I really worked well together on the song, vocally... I was surprised how natural it felt! 'Bury It' has such good energy and I really relate to it emotionally as well. When they asked me to record the parts I had sung live with them, it was a no-brainer.
"Anytime I've worked on music outside of Paramore, it's always been something I really truly connect with and this time is no different. I'm super honoured to work with Chvrches, to know them, and to be a part of the life of this song.”
Chvrches frontwoman Lauren Mayberry added: “We are all big fans of Paramore - musically, and in terms of the ethos of the band and the way they connect with their fanbase - but I also hugely admire Hayley as a vocalist and lyricist. It always feels like she puts so much of herself into her music and that's something we aspire to as well. Hayley is such a unique voice and having her be a part of something CHVRCHES wrote is incredibly exciting.”
Meanwhile, following the 'painful' departure of their bassist, Paramore have shared photos from the studio of them hard at work on their next album.
Chvrches upcoming tour dates include performances at Glastonbury, Latitude, Longitude and Reading & Leeds.
