- Som spent months reworking the track "Past Lives" to perfectly complement Williams' vocals
In a thrilling collaboration, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has lent her vocals to a track on rising artist Som's debut album "Float." The two artists first crossed paths in 2018 when Som opened for Paramore, and the pair later met in Nashville to work on the song "Past Lives" with producer Steph Marziano.
According to Som, the track went through numerous revisions to perfectly complement Williams' vocals. "I basically redid everything to Hayley's voice because it just felt like this impossible task to honor her vocals in the song," Som explained in a recent interview. The artist added that she and Williams spent six hours hanging out, and the Paramore singer loved the demo after hearing it.
Williams' contribution to "Past Lives" is a major milestone for Som, who described the experience as a "dream come true." The emerging artist expressed her admiration for Williams, calling her "one of the kindest artists out there" who "graciously accepts and uplifts the people around her." Som is set to embark on a European tour in November, followed by shows in the United States later that month.
