“Now I think [Electra Heart] was a really cool, dark, subversive pop record that was using the American system to elevate myself as an artist. I wouldn’t do it again, but it kind of changed my life.” 10 YEARS OF ELECTRA HEART by MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS RELEASED ON APRIL 27, 2012

TOP 20 ALBUMS RELEASED IN 2020 14. Hayley Williams - Petals for Armor (Tie) “At 31, Williams has spent more than half her life as the powerhouse frontwoman of Paramore, voicing frustration and discontent. But this complicated season has called for more solitary self-reflection. Petals for Armor coincided with her getting a divorce and grappling with a decade-deep depression, as she began unpacking traumas both embodied and inherited. Williams’ therapist encouraged her to create things through it all. The result is a 15-track collage drawing equally from the ecstatic strength of early Björk, the ’80s pop-R&B of Janet Jackson, and the diffuse textures of Radiohead. Petals for Armor is the sound of a woman Saturn returning at a crossroads: Williams’ lyrics, variously biting and poetic, trace her journey through shattering rage toward personal reckoning and, finally, growth. It’s a formidable individual statement, but it doesn’t mark the end of Paramore: Her bandmates all contribute to the album, with guitarist Taylor York credited as sole producer.”
