    Dec 9 2025
    On this episode of CD Burners, we’re diving headfirst into Paramore’s Brand New Eyes with special guest Morgan Pope. This is the record that almost tore the band apart — but also helped redefine them. We get into the heartbreak behind the lyrics, the tension in the studio, and why this album still hits like a breakup text you never saw coming.
