On a recent episode of the Black People Love Paramore podcast, Paramore’s very own Hayley Williams joined Sequoia to assist in the mission to help Black people feel more *scene*.
LISTEN NOW: Black People Love Paramore ft. Hayley Williams
With Sequoia asking questions like, when did she realize Paramore “had a large black fan base,” and if there’s a Black artist she would want to collaborate with, Hayley answered and spilled all the tea, sharing some fun facts you might not have already known.
When it comes to the artist Hayley wishfully hopes to collab with, Williams said it's "been SZA for a long time.” And while their mutual love and respect for one another is no secret, you might find it interesting to know that Hayley’s been working on trying to get a collab with her for six years.
"I love her voice,” Williams noted. "SZA for about six years now has been the one. I'm sending the texts weekly at this point.”
Online rumbling of possible collab began in December, around the time SZA told PEOPLE that she sought out Williams' advice for her sophomore album SOS. Leading fans to wonder if and when the singers might come together for a collaboration.
"Hayley Williams x SZA collab when???" one fan wrote tweeted. To which SZA responded, "I talk to her more than you’d think lol.
While six years is a mighty long time for nothing to transpire. We remain optimistic that those weekly texts from Hayley will surely to get the ball rolling eventually.
