Paramore Announce New Single - Playing God

Tennessee five piece Paramore are set to release the single ‘Playing God’ on November 15th. This will be the fifth release taken from their Number 1, platinum certified album brand new eyes. Brand New Eyes is their third album, released September 29, 2009 through Fueled by Ramen in the United States and Canada.

Critical response to Brand New Eyes was mostly positive. According to Metacritic, the album holds a score of 73 out of 100, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Paramore also try and showcase their maturity by chucking a couple of slowies into the mix. ‘The Only Exception’ turns out to be a rather sappy, nondescript love song, which doesn’t quite warrant the abrupt change of pace. It feels like something Katy Perry would dismiss for being too lightweight, with its mechanical, campfire strumming and general uninspiring air.

Currently on a headline tour of Australia, Japan and New Zealand, and fresh from performing at this year’s VMA’s, Paramore will be back in the UK for a run of headline dates in November. The forthcoming UK tour follows their sold out arena tour at the end of 2009, as well as performances at this summer’s Reading & Leeds festival.

Having so far performed live in front of over 1 million people in 2010, Paramore are due to play their biggest headline shows to date in the UK, adding over a 100,000 people to that already impressive audience figure.
