American pop rockers Paramore vocalist Hayley Williams has been talking to MTV about her band's third album, which they hope to begin recording by the end of the year. She said: "This [album] has got to be better than [current album] 'Riot!' and we all know that this next one is gonna be important to us. And we would love to record at home. We hope to work in Nashville, because we've been on the road for so long, and to be away from home has been tough".
Although they've been touring extensively, this hasn't stopped fast work on new songs. Williams continued: "Josh [Farro, guitar] writes most of the music, so he has got tons of ideas coming on like crazy right now, and it's really inspiring and motivating me. So, I started writing to some of the ideas while we were on tour, and hopefully with some time off, I'll be able to focus and spend a lot of time on that. We're hoping to have a good 20 songs done by the time we get off the road, and we'll see where we go from there by the end of the year".
