Paris Hilton, the ultimate pop culture icon, has made a surprising return to the music scene with her second studio album—a staggering 18 years after her debut. Given all that time, you’d think she’d come back with something truly refined, polished, and groundbreaking. Unfortunately, that’s not quite the case.
Despite boasting a mix of club bangers, emotional ballads, and just plain weird tracks, the album ultimately feels like a missed opportunity. Songs like "BBA" aim to be high-energy anthems, "ADHD" offers a rare introspective moment, and "Without Love" just leaves listeners scratching their heads. The biggest issue? The entire album sounds dated, like it was pulled straight from a 2016-2018 EDM/pop playlist that got lost in time.
One of the most glaring problems is the low-quality production. The beats feel generic, lifeless, and oddly artificial, as if they were made using pre-installed royalty-free loops or, worse, AI-generated templates. Instead of sleek, high-tier instrumentals, we get bland, janky, and disjointed beats that fail to elevate the songs. It’s as if the album is trying to emulate music rather than actually being music.
Paris isn’t exactly known for powerhouse vocals, but she delivers a few surprisingly decent performances, especially on "I'm Free". However, tracks like "Infinity" suffer from excessive autotune and distortion, making her voice sound robotic and unnatural. While guest features help inject some energy and salvage a few tracks, the album as a whole still lacks the polish needed to make it truly enjoyable.
Lyrically, Paris explores fame, influence, and her desire to stay young forever, but most of it comes off as surface-level and uninspired. The one refreshing exception is "ADHD", where she briefly opens up about her struggles with the condition. It's a rare, genuine moment, but unfortunately, it’s not enough to save the album.
Paris Hilton has undeniably shaped pop culture, fashion, and nightlife, but when it comes to music, this album proves she’s better suited for the DJ booth than the recording studio. With outdated production, questionable vocals, and uninspired songwriting, her second album fails to justify its existence. If you’re a die-hard Paris Hilton fan, you might enjoy a few moments, but for everyone else, this is a hard pass.
