Hayley Williams Covers Beyoncé During Paramore’s Houston Tour Stop
variety.comSophia Scorziello editor Paramore’s Hayley Williams took a break from the band’s usual set list to channel her inner Sasha Fierce, covering Beyoncé’s “I Miss You” in the Texas-bred singer’s hometown of Houston on July 11.
Most of the song was performed by Williams in a capella while the rest of the band took a back seat. In fan-captured videos, Williams’ silhouette stands out as she’s surrounded by dim red lighting.
She can be heard belting out the bridge: “It is so simple a feeling, but it’s everything / No matter who you love, it is so simple a feeling, but it’s everything.” The song is somewhat of a deep cut from Beyoncé’s fourth studio album, 2011’s “4,” which featured mega-hits like “Who Run the World (Girls),” “Count Down,” “Love on Top” and “Dance for You.” “I Miss You” was penned by Frank Ocean and marked his and Beyoncé’s first collaboration together as artists.
They again joined forces on the song “Superpower” from her self-titled album and Ocean’s “Pink & White,” from his album “Blond.” Like Williams, Ocean has performed his own rendition of the song during his rare live performances.
