JAKARTA - Hayley Williams didn't take long to recover after returning empty-handed from the 2026 Grammy Awards.
The 37-year-old singer actually made another breakthrough by launching his new band, Power Snatch.
Without any big promotional hype, the band immediately released their debut mini album titled "EP1" through the Bandcamp platform and the Untitled label.
This project is a collaboration between Williams and Daniel James, who is not at all a new person in the Williams creative circle.
James is the producer behind Williams' third solo album, "Ego Death at the Bachelorette Party".
The presence of Power Snatch was first sniffed out when the two of them presented a program on Apple Music last week. There, the two gave a sneak peek of a song titled "Assignment", which is part of the band's creative breath.
The launch of "EP1" comes just hours after Williams failed to bring home a Grammy trophy, despite being nominated for four prestigious awards, including Best Alternative Music Album.
Interestingly, Williams responded to the defeat with great sportsmanship and relaxation. Through his official Instagram account, he gave his appreciation to the winners who are his own idols.
"We want to thank the academy, and it's an honor for us to lose to The Cure, whenever that is," wrote a representative of Williams' official account.
The release strategy of Power Snatch again reminds the public of Williams' unique way of releasing his album, July last year.
At that time, he released 17 songs suddenly on the official website and deleted them within 24 hours. This unconventional distribution pattern has proven to be commercially effective.
Based on Billboard data, the album managed to perch at number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart - making it Williams' highest achievement as a soloist so far.
In the newly released "EP1", fans can enjoy a row of songs, such as "DMs", "Duh", and "Hole in the Ceiling".
Williams seems to want to emphasize that his artistic existence is not limited to one format only. With Daniel James' experimental touch and his powerful vocals, Power Snatch is predicted to be a new chapter for the alternative music scene this year.
This move also proves that for a Hayley Williams, productivity is the best answer to the dynamics of the global music industry.
