Paris Hilton: Stars Are Blind
I had a chance to listen to Paris Hilton’s hot new single today–Stars Are Blind. Unfortunately, it sounds mostly like generic studio pop, without an ounce of creative inspiration or soul. Yes, can you believe it? Today I’ll write that the machines sucked Paris Hilton’s soul–however much was there to begin with–out of her voice. It’s just so bland!
According to a press release being passed around, Stars Are Blind is due to be released July 31st:
Paris Hilton’s long-awaited debut single and album releases have been confirmed. The single ‘Stars Are Blind’ is set for a July 31st release date whilst her eponymous album will follow a week later on Warner Bros. Records. Paris Hilton spent two days on a beach in Malibu, California, shooting the video for ‘Stars Are Blind’ with director Chris Applebaum with whom she previously collaborated with for the Carl’s Jr. campaign. Applebaum’s previous music video credits include Rihanna’s ‘S.O.S.’ and Natasha Bedingfield’s ‘Unwritten’.
The song lyrics open, “I don’t mind spending some time / Just hanging here with you / Cause I don’t find too many guys / That treat me like you do.” While no more vapid than regular pop, her voice has been masked with corrections, wispy strings, and other kinds of masking noise. You’ll no more be able to hear the real Paris in all that choir and processing than you could cut the White House lawn with scissors.
The music video adds a little more–Paris Hilton on the beach with a boy all over her. We expected that one, right? Here’s a screengrab, for your edification:
Final verdict? Lyrics, uninspiring. Voice talent, hidden. Production, ok. Total value, meh. You can go watch the Stars are Blind music video or download it on YouTube.
