In early October, the reality TV star got candid about her ADHD diagnosis in a personal essay for Teen Vogue.
“At first, being diagnosed felt like a label — something that boxed me in, defining me by what I couldn’t do, by what made me different,” Paris wrote. “It’s something I used to keep hidden, worried about how it might be perceived. Would people think I was too scattered, too unfocused, or incapable of success? But those challenges are just one side of the coin. The other side reveals something beautiful: creativity, passion, resilience and a mind that thinks in bold, unexpected ways.”
Eighteen years after releasing her debut self-titled studio album, Hilton returned to Billboard’s album charts with her follow-up project, Infinite Icon. Her new album debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in late September. The new set features A-list collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, Meghan Trainor and Sia.
For Infinite Icon, Paris recruited a team of top-level producers and songwriters to pull the project together. Shatkin is credited as a producer on all 12 of the album’s tracks. He’s previously worked with Sia, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus and Ellie Goulding, among others.
Hilton’s debut, Paris, reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 in September 2006, and included “Stars Are Blind,” her first single that climbed to No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart a month prior.
