Paris Hilton's Career as Recording artist

Paris Hilton founded Heiress Records, a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records, in 2004 and released Hilton's self-titled debut album, Paris, under that label on August 22, 2006. Although the album reached number six on the Billboard 200 for a week, its total sales volume has been low.

All music of Paris Hilton commented that the album was "more fun than anything released by Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson, and a lot fresher, too." On the whole, critical reception was mixed. On July 16, 2007 Paris Hilton confirmed that she was working on a new album with producer Scott Storch.

In a recent interview with MTV, Paris Hilton decided that her second album is going to be a dance album. She stated that she "loves Bob Sinclair" and wants to create dance-music vibe. Hilton has installed a professional recording studio in her house to work on the album.

On September 30, 2008 Paris Hilton's song "My BFF" premiered on KIIS-FM with host Ryan Seacrest. It is the first single from her as yet untitled second studio album and also the theme song for her new show Paris Hilton's My New BFF. Hilton stated that she finished working on the album and that it will be released "in the next couple of weeks".

A second song "Paris For President" was released along with a music video late October 2008. Paris Hilton can also be heard singing on the soundtrack to the musical Repo! The Genetic Opera. In an interview, the director, Darren Lynn Bousman, praised her vocal skills. When talking about Paris Hilton's vocal audition process for the role, Bouseman said, "We gave her some music and said, 'You have one day to come back and perform this.' She came back the next day, memorized everything, was pitch-perfect, I mean she was awesome."
