On streaming services, Paramore has changed the cover art for their self-titled album from 2013. The original image, which featured former bassist Jeremy Davis, was changed to an image of singer Hayley Williams wearing a denim jacket with the words “Grow Up” on the back. The new shot appears to have been taken from the same photo shoot as the one that produced the first album sleeve image, but the band provided no explanations for the move. In 2015, Davis parted ways with Paramore, and a legal battle with Williams and guitarist Taylor York was later resolved out of court. Recently, Paramore revealed a lengthy 2023 North American tour. “This Is Why,” their newest album, will be released in February 2023. Do you think Paramore changed the cover art to exclude Davis? Should they have left it as the original photo?
