   About Paris Wells



PARIS WELLS “KEEP IT” ALBUM RELEASE
(AND INAUGURAL ANNUAL “KEEP IT DAY”)


Historically, July 19th has never really had much to brag about. It's a holiday in Burma, Ian Botham played his last game of first class cricket on July 19th and Apollo 11 went into orbit. Now, finally something noteworthy – the long-awaited release of wunderkind Paris Wells' debut album, Keep It.

Every now and again an artist like Melbourne's own Paris Wells comes along seemingly just to make life hard for people who have to pigeon-hole things for a living. Even MySpace's three category fool-proof plan misses the mark by about ten categories on this one. We're talking about a girl whose influences range from NWA to Led Zeppelin; who built up an incredible street-level buzz throughout Melbourne's underground circuit and then took a break to jet off around the country to support Justin Timberlake; who has the style and grace of Jackie Onassis with the attitude of Keith Richards. This girl is Oxford and Webster's worst nightmare, but she's going to become your eardrum's best friend.

In late '07, Paris swung the spotlight onto herself through the release of her debut EP, Mum Hasn't Slept Yet, and suddenly St. Jerome's favourite resident became a household name amongst the in-crowd at bars across the country. Off the back of this notoriety, Paris hit the road and mesmerised crowds at Meredith Music Festival, Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Sydney Festival with a voice that could turn gay men straight and straight men insane.

Keep It's suggestive and infectious first single, Dat Du Dat, has taken radio hostage over the past couple of months and, in true Paris Wells' style, has crossed boundaries from ultra-hip community stations to the country's largest commercial networks. The album, produced by True Live's RHyNo, is destined for the same fate – accessible, catchy songs infused with a jaded swagger that will kick you in the throat and make you love it.

And – thanks to Paris Wells, you'll now have something to celebrate on July 19th each year. Our public holiday application is currently pending.

“This is a good in your face introduction,” Paris says. “I have a lot more to me though. I don’t want to show all my cards just yet.”

i fully freaked when I heard grace baby on the myer add

it took me a while to connect it but when I did I was happy, you singing grace baby was my favourite song from JT's concert, even out of JT's songs

Although I'm so disappointed that your myspace has become so commercial I supposed it was bound to happen, but I enjoyed your insights into things... and reading the things you hate cracked me up

I will be straight into JB to buy the new album

thanks

Hey Paris,
I finally dashed out and brought the album and I have to say what an evocative album you have made.
You should feel very proud, the production is very accomplished and I like hearing the depth and layers in each song.
Its a very professional sounding recording and I played a few tracks at function on the weekend and they went off!
Congrats!
Hopefully I'll see you at Meredith this year with your parasol!
All the best
xx Dans.
