J. Paris – “out west” Single
J. Paris is known for his ability to create memorable and diverse sonic landscapes through the melodramatic expression of personal and universal life experiences. His style is remarkably raw yet undeniably suave which awards him the unusual ability to candidly express traditionally guarded sentiments, emotions, and feelings in a way that is both exceptionally resonant and uniquely appealing. Albeit far from Toronto, Paris’ stylistically woeful undertones paired with smooth delivery elicit comparisons to modern influences including Drake, The Weeknd, and PARTYNEXTDOOR.
“I could never treat you like a free throw, baby.”
About the project, J. Paris explained: “With most things in my life, but especially in my art, I have absolutely refused to release something unless I was convinced that it was objectively, and significantly better than my previous work. With every single, EP, and compilation I’ve released, I’ve refused to iterate without having objective and clear measures to exhibit undeniable improvement. This sometimes hinders the progression, speed, and amount of work I produce; however, it shows an irrefutable path towards increasingly well-executed, technically intricate, and profound art with each public release.”

With his first album, “Road to Elysium,” Paris displayed the culmination of his previous projects’ sonic progression and the height of his musical capabilities in his continual pursuit of the perfect sound. And now, with the follow-up to his Summerset series, in “Summerset, Vol. 2,” Paris works to display the other side of what he does best in his artistry by peeling back his usually elaborate soundscapes to its most raw elements and expressing traditionally well-gated sentiments and emotions in a way that is truly resonant. Joining Paris on this journey will be tense, rewarding, and, hopefully, inspirational.
