Paris Hilton
(Warner Brothers)
Among those thanked on Hilton’s album are Prada, Dr Dre and Baby Love (her monkey). As one would expect from such diverse contacts and, most pertinently, a personal fortune, her maiden pop foray is as well-appointed as one of her grandfather’s hotels. Modish, minimalist Neptunes-y R&B cuts rub up against the Scandinavian reggae of her hit Stars are Blind and pale Pink grrl-pop confections such as Screwed and Nothing in this World.
