Nearly 20 years after Paris Hilton released her first and only album, the heiress and reality star will officially return to music this fall with her second LP, Infinite Icon.
Hilton put out Paris back in 2006, with the album spawning a cult hit with “Stars Are Blind.” Over the ensuing two decades, Hilton has dabbled in music, releasing one-off singles like 2013’s “Good Time” and 2015’s “High Off My Love,” as well as guested on tracks by Steve Aoki and, most recently, Sia (“Fame Won’t Love You“), but hasn’t dropped a proper follow-up to her debut album.
That will change on September 6, when Hilton releases Infinite Icon.
After talking about a return to music while promoting her memoir This Is Paris, Hilton hinted at her long-awaited sophomore album last year when she dropped her song “Hot One,” which was heralded as the first single from her second LP.
“I was instantly inspired and knew we had to make this record,” Hilton told Rolling Stonein June 2023 when “Hot One” arrived. “We went into Sunset Sound Studio and ended up recording 3 songs in just one day! It was magic!”
Hilton’s musical renaissance kicked off at the end of 2022 when she made a surprise appearance to perform “Stars Are Blind” with Sia and Miley Cyrus during NBC’s Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party. A refreshed version of “Stars Are Blind” with Kim Petras arrived later that year.
The previous summer, she joined Christina Aguilera at a Los Angeles Pride concert to perform “Stars Are Blind” for the first time in years. (Hilton had only performed the song at Britney Spears’ wedding and at a Grammys afterparty.) In June 2023, Hilton staged her first-ever concert at Los Angeles’ Fonda Theater.
Infinite Icon’s second single is expected out in June. The summer might also witness the reunion of Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, as The Simple Life duo recently revealed their joint return to reality TV with a new Peacock series.
