    Hayley Williams propôs uma introspecção neste álbum, um meio de desabafo sobre muitas questões que vem ocorrendo em sua vida pessoal nos últimos anos: casamento, amizade e novos romances. É bonito ver como ela desenvolveu essa maturidade pessoal e artística, sendo seu primeiro álbum totalmente escrito por ela, em sua casa. Este é um momento tão gracioso para Hayley e para os fãs.

    Mais um trabalho incrível e adorável de umas das melhores artistas da nossa geração. Incrível como a Hayley tem facilidade em compor músicas que tocam na alma e nos fornece uma alta qualidade sonora. Fico ainda mais maravilhado ao saber que ela trabalhou de vários modos e usando vários instrumentos pra nos entregar um sucessor a altura do Petals for Armor.

    This is pure ART. I consider this album more cohesive than PFA, a meticulous and deliciously melancholy work. Not to mention the most delicate and mature vocals ever. Grammy doesn't deserve you, Hayley, you're superior. Thank you!

    The lyrics, the vocals, everything on this album is amazing, sometimes repetitive, but hayley never disappoints.

    If Petals for armor felt like Hayley was showing us another side of her, Flowers for vases feels like she is stripping her soul before our own ears. It is not a commercial album; you have to give it a few listens to completely fall in love with it. The production is not elaborate, but its so intimate that feels just perfect, and it's a lyrical gem.

    This album was released as a surprise to many people. Hayley surprises us positively with each new release, either solo or with Paramore.

    outstanding, amazing, 10/10.

    The fact she also wrote, performed and recorded this all in her house during a pandemic is INCREDIBLE

    A beautifully constructed body of work, every song feels so intricately placed. Flowers for Vases is very different sonically from Hayley’s debut, Petals for Armor, but it’s just as personal and disarming, if not more so. An absolute masterpiece.

    Un álbum sumamente increíble, muestra vulnerabilidad y sentimientos muy profundos, Hayley no se equivocaba cuando dijo que este sería su "folklore"

    This album is beautiful and cohesive. I'm starting to warm up to the thought that this is better than Petals for Armor.

    IMPECÁVEL! Just a Lover, faixa que encerra o disco é puro intelecto sonoro, te levando a outro espaço no universo. Recomendo ouvir o album com fones, deitado, no escuro, a noite em seu quarto. A viagem fica cada vez melhor a cada faixa.... TE AMO REILA

    Hayley Williams pulled a Taylor Swift and made of "FLOWERS for VASES / descansos" her "evermore", with a surprise release after her debut solo album less than a year ago.

    With ethereal vocals, minimal instruments, deep lyrics and powerful message, she conceived her strongest piece of work to date under a waterfall of petals: soft, gentle, beautiful, earthy. While the sound is calmer
    Hayley Williams pulled a Taylor Swift and made of "FLOWERS for VASES / descansos" her "evermore", with a surprise release after her debut solo album less than a year ago.

    With ethereal vocals, minimal instruments, deep lyrics and powerful message, she conceived her strongest piece of work to date under a waterfall of petals: soft, gentle, beautiful, earthy.

    While the sound is calmer than everything she has ever done, both with Paramore and as a solo artist, the emotion behind is abismal. She sings of self-reflection, hope, regret, melancholy, doubt, accountability, and demonstrates a willingness to let her feelings out in the field, with no apparent fear to be judged or blamed. That honesty is rare and precious, and it is essentially what makes this album so unique.

    Standout tracks include: Trigger, Over Those Hills, No Use I Just Do and Just A Lover.

    Cohesive, powerful and personal. Hayley Williams show us how talented she is, by singing, writing and playing different instruments. She definitely embraced herself through the pandemic, found her inner voice, and screamed to the world who she is.

    This is quite possibly the calmest album i’ve ever listened too. She is absolutely amazing. Trigger and Over Those Hills hit hard. This is a great album for a mellow day.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is so lovely. As someone who struggles with depression and loss I found the music striking emotional cord several times. Not just the lyrics, but it feels like the music and how she sings was stripped to its most vulnerable form. Not as catchy or upbeat, but it felt like that therapeutic place of identifying your truth and just letting it exist instead of grappling of how you think you should feel. 5th time listening right now and I’m still absorbing everything.

    Powerful, but in an entirely different way to its predecessor, it’s a record which further proves that the strength of Hayley Williams - as a songwriter, a vocalist, a woman - is still awe-inspiring.

    Largely acoustic with a limited amount of overdubs, Flowers feels somewhat more minimalist than the aesthetically varied Petals -- which isn't to say it's any less impressive. There is a sense that Williams is celebrating her influences.

    There are no obvious singles or earworms, but more so than Petals for Armor, FLOWERS for VASES takes a step closer to healing.
