Paris the Pop Star
"I want to show people that I have something to say. I want to change perceptions of me and show I'm grown-up and I'm an artist." - Paris Hilton
Designing lingerie, bags and sunglasses, writing books, developing a hotel chain and opening a casino may be all business work for Paris Hilton, but she has made it clear more than once that music is her one of her true passions. The world had already heard a piece of her music back in 2004 when her single "Screwed" leaked on the internet. Although Paris has publicly denied that she's the singer of that leaked song, most fans still believe the opposite. Anyhow, she knows that the new version of the single is much better than the old one. By the way, she recorded the first version of Screwed song with Robb Boldt, and it was never officially released.
Her fans had been waiting for years to get their hands on her debut album which was suppose to be released in 2004. But Paris took her time, and was already too busy with her schedule. Whenever she had the time, she worked on it with her producers, mostly late at night when she could.
In the beginning, the first album was supposed to be very "rockish," but ever since she met Scott Storch, she tossed her old songs away and started from scratch. People often think that the debut album took more than two years to produce, but in fact, it only took about a year.
Debut Single: Stars Are Blind
This is Paris' first single. It is one of the smash-hit singles of Summer 2006. All over the world, from Canada to United States and from Europe to Japan, her debut single "Stars Are Blind" was played on radio stations, on TV, and it hit quite high on music charts.

Debut Album: Paris
With more than 150 000 copies sold in the United States and more than 600 000 copies sold worldwide, "Paris," the debut album, went #6 on the Billboard chart within its first week of release in the United States before sliding down dramatically. However, "Paris" still stands as an incredible masterpiece for many music fans out there.

Second Single: Nothing in this World
"Nothing in this World" received very little attention in America and Europe, although it entered the International Hit Radio Top 40 and peaked at #22. Paris didn't really bother promoting it for some reason. It didn't quite do very well in the West, but it certainly was a huge hit in Asian counties, such as Thailand, where it hit #1 on the MTV Thailand chart and #2 on the MTV Asia chart.
