paris jackson explores the raw and powerful journey of vulnerability in her new single

paris jackson, the multi-talented singer, songwriter, and actress, has recently released her new single “Bandaid,” which draws influences from 90’s grunge and alternative rock. The spirited anthem was sonically inspired by Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins, and Nirvana, and lyrically inspired by Andy Hull and Conor Oberst. It follows her critically acclaimed 2022 singles “just you” and “lighthouse.”

“Bandaid” is a raw and vulnerable song, and paris describes it as the type of music she used to dream of making when she was 14 and discovering Nirvana and Pixies for the first time. The song showcases her impressive vocal range, with the third chorus being particularly powerful as she lets loose and yells in the studio.

paris’s evolution as a musician is evident in this track, as she reveals that she has started producing music, and her collaboration with Simon Oscroft has been fruitful. The song also features Anthony Salazar on drums, and paris credits him with hitting the drums harder than Tommy Lee on “Wild Side,” adding an extra edge to the track.

Lyrically, “Bandaid” is a departure from paris’s previous works, as she lays bare her emotions and expresses her vulnerability in a way that feels authentic and relatable. paris admits that the song is the rawest and most vulnerable she has ever been in any of her songs. She hopes that the listeners will find in it what she found in albums like “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” by Bright Eyes, a record that truly made her feel heard and understood from the inside out.

“Bandaid” is a fantastic track that showcases paris jackson’s growth as a musician and her versatility as a singer and songwriter. Drawing from her influences and adding her unique touch, paris delivers a powerful and emotionally charged anthem that is sure to resonate with fans of grunge and alternative rock. With this song, paris has set the stage for her next album, and I can’t wait to hear what she has in store next.
