Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Pop
Hayley Williams has released a black-and-white music video for "Dream Girl in Shibuya," filmed by Zachary Gray and showing Williams lounging in a hotel bed while playing guitar. The clip arrives as she continues promoting Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, her third solo album and first independent release.
Why it matters
The video extends the rollout of a solo project that marks a shift to independent release for Williams, who is best known as the frontwoman of Paramore. It also comes as she launches a new project, Power Snatch, with the album's producer Daniel James.
Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party is Williams' third solo album and first independent release, released in 2025, and she is currently on her second tour of 2026 in support of it. Paramore's most recent album, This Is Why, came out in 2023, but the extraction does not report streaming or sales figures for either project.
