"It’s a testament to Jackson’s strength of character that she writes unguardedly… With raw, personal and earnest lyrics, Jackson articulates her pain and longing with rich metaphors and vivid imagery...expressed by her sweet, warm and soulful vocals."
NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- paris jackson has taken over the indie-alternative music scene, and this month, she takes over SPIN, appearing on the latest cover of the legendary magazine. In exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot, paris gazes into the camera, laughs, and strums a guitar, showing off the alluring boho-grunge style that the singer, songwriter, model, actress, and activist takes effortlessly from the stage to the catwalk to in front of the camera lens.

In July, she was unveiled as a model in a campaign for Kim Kardashian’s shapewear line, SKIMS.
