Hayley Williams and David Byrne's New Duet 'Open the Door' and a Shot at Kid Rock
Hayley Williams and David Byrne have joined forces once again, this time releasing a new duet titled 'Open the Door' for the Netflix film 'The Twits'. The song is a sentimental, sunshine-filled ballad that showcases the unique collaboration between these two artists.
The duet's release coincides with Williams' surprise appearance at Byrne's New York City concert on October 10th, where they performed 'What Is the Reason for It?' and Paramore's 'Hard Times'. This marks the second time the pair have collaborated, following their 2023/2024 project where Paramore covered 'Burning Down the House' for the A24-led re-release of the 1984 concert film 'Stop Making Sense'.
In an interview with People, Byrne praised Williams' talent and their creative relationship, highlighting her extraordinary rapport with her audience. He shared that their collaboration on 'What Is the Reason for It?' came together organically, and he was thrilled to have her on board.
However, Williams' recent solo album, 'Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party', has sparked some controversy. The title track, which includes a line about a 'racist country singer', has drawn criticism from certain conservative figures, including a reference to Morgan Wallen. Williams has responded to these comments with a humorous Instagram story, sharing her own experiences with Kid Rock's music and the Southern Baptist Church's disapproval.
The article concludes by leaving the reader to decide who wins the 'beef' between Williams and Kid Rock, given their contrasting collaborations and public appearances.
