Overview

• Williams’ website now hosts 17 new solo songs that can only be streamed with a code distributed through her Good Dye Young hair dye drop.
• The site mimics an old Windows desktop complete with scattered MP3 icons and a “Misc” folder containing video and audio easter eggs.
• The surprise drop is her first solo release since she completed her Warner/Atlantic contract and underscores her independent, direct-to-fan strategy.
• Fans are buzzing over whether the unlabeled collection, nicknamed “Ego,” represents a formal album or a set of demos.
• The batch includes “Mirtazapine,” which Williams debuted on Nashville’s WNXP and unveiled live at this summer’s Newport Folk Festival.
