Far from wilted, Paris Jackson Blooms in Debut Album
By Laurean D. Robinson
“In the best way I can, through song and through dance and through music. I mean, I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art.”
The dedication of art is not only reserved for the immortal and iconic artists of yesteryear, your parents’ and grandparents’ favorite bands. Every generation gravitates to these artists because something in their music resonates, creating a lasting emotional connection. What’s the secret? Authentic storytelling.
Paris Jackson has this amazing quality in her debut album wilted, a delicate diary of intimate description and heartbreaking honesty. True, she is the daughter of the King of Pop but her music style is her own which is very refreshing. Paris Jackson’s not trying to follow trends, be popular, appeal to any new generation. She is her own trend.
With such songs as “collide,” “repair,” and “scorpio rising,” Jackson adopts a stripped-down confessional led with acoustic guitar and percussive background that connects the listener on the same level as Fleetwood Mac or India.Aire. The celestial and soulful meet head-on with lyrics and melodies that both elevate and pacify at the same time.
While others can chase popularity with hit songs and dis tracks, the artists that last are the ones who stay true to the craft. As an heiress to the most famous entertainer of all time, Paris Katherine Jackson could do and be anything she wants. I’m glad she chose herself and her art.
