Hayley Williams' first solo tour is going just dandy. The Paramore leader has brought out Josh Scogin , Jason Isbell , Rachel Brown , Jenny Lewis , and more, and last night in London she was joined by Romy for a Prefab Sprout cover.
During her first night at the Roadhouse, where she'll be taking the stage again tonight, Williams performed the UK band's "Wild Horses" from their 1990 record Jordan: The Comeback with Romy. Meanwhile, the night before, the xx member was brought out by Beverly Glenn‐Copeland at Harry Styles' Meltdown festival at London's Royal Festival Hall to sing the Canadian singer-songwriter's 2004 song "La Vita." Romy sampled that tune on "Enjoy Your Life" from her 2023 solo album Mid Air .
On Instagram yesterday, Romy wrote, "I first heard La Vita when Robyn invited me to see Glenn play in Stockholm in 2018, the moment I heard the song it took hold of my heart and has never let go. It meant the world to me to have Glenn's blessing to use the sample."
