Paris Hilton plans reggae, hip hop album

Paris Hilton says her upcoming album will be a mix of reggae, pop and hip-hop, with the first single being a reggae song called Stars Are Blind.

Hilton will also do a remake of the Rod Stewart song Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?, she was quoted as saying in the June issue of Hong Kong magazine Prestige.

“The whole album has so much different music on it. I like all music. It’s not like I only like pop or only rock. I want to have something for everybody,” Hilton said.

Hilton said she wrote the lyrics to seven of her songs. The article didn’t say how many songs are on the album.

She said she had to overcome shyness to become a singer.

“I have always had a voice and always known I could sing, but I was too shy to let it come out. I think that is the hardest thing you can do, to sing in front of people. When I finally let go and did it, I realized it is what I am most talented at and what I love to do the most,” Hilton said.

Prestige reported the single, Stars Are Blind, will be released this month by Warner Records and her own label Heiress Records, followed by a full album later this year.
