New single arrives following her critically acclaimed 2020 debut album
Paris Jackson unveils a new sound with her new single entitled “Lighthouse,” available now via Republic Records. “Lighthouse” was produced by singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Butch Walker.
The single is released alongside the official music video, which was inspired by the iconic video for Nirvana’s “Sliver.” In the video, Jackson pays homage with a photo of Kurt Cobain, a full circle moment to the original video.
The song channels unbridled nineties rock energy as it harnesses the power of a classic alternative dynamic with a twist of its own. Jackson’s hypnotic verses give way to a chantable chorus, “I can feel the lights go low, but I don’t wanna let go now, maybe if I turn around you’ll see me, and what you used to be,” before a hummable guitar solo.
“I continued to write about this same old heartbreak that ‘wilted’ is about,” Jackson shares. “A lot of the new songs coming out are similar stories about the same person and heartbreak. I guess I’m just exploring different feelings. ‘wilted’ was a more melancholy record, and now I’m exploring more of the anger…”
Jackson recently lit up SXSW with her debut performance at the festival. Back in 2020, she delivered her debut album, Wilted, joined by collaborators Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra. Upon arrival, it captured No. 1 on the iTunes US Alternative Albums chart. Jackson remained prolific in 2021 with The Struts’ collaboration “Low Key In Love,” before sharing the lost EP as a surprise gift for her fans in early 2022.
