STARS ARE BLIND - PARIS HILTON
When Paris Hilton announced she was releasing an album, most of America cringed. Let’s face it, every “celebutante” is dropping a record these days in the battle for overexposure. With that in mind, believe it or not, ever-industrious Hilton separates herself from the trend-following pack with a winning track. “Stars Are Blind” is cute, catchy and playful with reggae-pop beats and a cool vibe reminiscent of Blondie’s “The Tide Is High.” Her breathy vocals sound like Gwen Stefani’s, and while everyone will want to know if she can actually sing, she still sounds better than some other pop pretenders. With an atmosphere and groove that has “summer” written all over it, this single is destined to steamroll top 40 radio. Hilton’s self-titled debut album is due in August. As the heiress herself would say, “Loves it.” Billboard
