WATCH: Paramore transformed into retro TV presenters in ‘Rose-Colored Boy’ video
Another brilliant video from the trio
Paramore have premiered the awesome video for their latest single ‘Rose-Colored Boy’.
Directed by Warren Fu, in the video Hayley Williams, Zac Farro and Taylor York are transformed into a 1970s television news team who, on the outside at least, seem perpetually happy.
However, when the Wake Up! Roseville cameras are off their apparent cheeriness is exposed as being fake and Hayley’s character for one acts like a spoilt prima donna.
Watch the retro video here:
Following ‘Hard Times’, ‘Told You So’ and ‘Fake Happy’, ‘Rose-Colored Boy’ is the fourth offshoot from Paramore’s fifth studio album ‘After Laughter’, which debuted at no.4 on the UK album chart last May.
The trio kicked off 2018 with a five-date UK arena tour taking in shows in Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow.
Although the tour was met with rave reviews across the board, Hayley Williams took exception to one journalist who failed to appreciate the six people she performs alongside every night.
Hayley wrote on Twitter: “Will scratch my head forever @ the writers who come to a paramore show with minds made up, with absolutely no context or care to look past me just doing my actual job as a frontperson. & who all but insult the INSANE f---ing talent of every member of the band. touring or not”
She added later: “dunno what some ppl expect the guys to do - but we arent the band thats gonna put zacs drum kit on a rig & spin him around. taylor isn’t about to fly out of a canon whilst playing a thousand intricate parts. come to our show to see excellent live musicianship & ppl who care.
"After Laughter is the point. it’s 100% okay if not everyone gets it. just dont use your review as a means to condescend a stage full of ppl (7) who all give a s---. if you cant at least appreciate what’s happening you may not actually know as much as you want ppl to believe.
