Paris Hilton graces the cover of NYLON, revealing exciting details about her upcoming album, Infinite Icon, in a candid conversation with her close friend Bebe Rexha. In the interview, Paris reflects on her status as the ‘Original Brat’ in pop culture, her deep connection with Megan Thee Stallion, and how she’s redefining herself through her music. With a new album on the way, Paris is showing a side of her that fans haven’t seen before — one that blends vulnerability, confidence, and raw talent. “I’m the mood board…I’m the blueprint,” she states, owning her status as a pop culture pioneer.
One of the highlights of Infinite Icon is the collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, an artist Paris holds in high regard. “She’s like, ‘You’re Aquarius like me,’” Paris recalls of their first meeting at Chateau Marmont. The two hit it off instantly, and Megan became a regular at Paris’s famous parties. Megan’s feature on the album adds a layer of excitement and energy to Paris’s new sound, which has evolved from her early 2000s party-girl persona into something much more personal and real. “People don’t see me as that [dumb blond] character anymore…they see me as a human being with feelings,” Paris shares.
A key figure behind the transformation of Infinite Icon is none other than Sia, who serves as the album’s executive producer. Known for her iconic voice and powerful presence in the music industry, Sia pushed Paris to embrace her true vocal range, moving away from the breathy, playful voice she used in her first album. Paris credits Sia for giving her the confidence to sing with her real voice. “To have someone like Sia believe in me made me believe in myself even more,” she says, reflecting on how this shift has allowed her to explore new depths in her music.
Paris’s journey isn’t just about music, though. She’s revisiting her roots in reality TV with Paris & Nicole: The Encore, where she reunites with Nicole Richie for more hilarious moments in small-town America. Paris fondly remembers how The Simple Life left an indelible mark on pop culture, shaping reality TV for years to come. “It inspired so many others,” Paris says, teasing a recent episode where they worked at Sonic, offering a nostalgic nod to their original stint in Arkansas.
The interview also explores Paris’s signature “Marilyn voice,” a character she developed as a trauma response. “It was kind of a trauma response, where I wanted to create this perfect Barbie doll life,” Paris explains. While the voice became synonymous with her public persona, she views it as a playful part of her personality that she’s reclaiming. She reflects on how this voice will always be a part of her but emphasizes that she’s reclaiming her narrative and sharing her true self through this new phase of her life and career.
In a touching moment, Bebe Rexha moves Paris to tears with a heartfelt message, thanking her for being a constant support. “You never judged me. You always invited me. I’m awkward!” Bebe confesses, expressing gratitude for Paris’s kindness and inclusivity. It’s a glimpse into the deep friendship and bond between the two stars, proving that beyond the glamour, Paris Hilton is a loyal friend and a source of support for those in her circle. With Infinite Icon set to release soon, Paris is ready to show the world just how much she’s evolved, both as an artist and as a person.
