Paris Jackson has released her eerie new single ‘Zombies In Love’, a track she created alongside songwriter and producer Linda Perry. You can also watch the official video below.
Jackson, known as the only daughter of global pop legend Michael Jackson, has spent the past few years developing material for the follow up to her 2020 debut album ‘Wilted’. Since then, she has also put out the EP ‘The Lost’ in 2022 along with the singles ‘Bandaid’ and ‘Hit Your Knees’ in 2023.
‘Zombies In Love’ has now been introduced as the first preview of a larger upcoming music release, widely believed to be her second studio album. The project is expected to arrive sometime in 2026 and includes significant creative input from 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry.
Jackson originally hinted at the song through a short video posted on social media on Valentine’s Day. Now the complete version is available, highlighting her emotional vocal delivery paired with a soft and carefully built instrumental arrangement.
You can see the official music video along with footage of Jackson performing the track from last month here:
During an interview in 2024, Jackson spoke about the direction of her new album and said she was writing about deeply personal experiences, warning that some of the subject matter could be difficult for listeners.
“What I’m talking about is a lot of touchy things,” she said at the time. “Some people might have a hard time.”
“All of my close friends know my story. I’m an open book with all of my friends,” she said, adding that she often draws on her experiences of “pain or heartbreak or loneliness” in her music.
In its three star review of ‘Wilted’ published in 2020, NME commented: “‘Wilted’ feels caught between the twee folksy pop of Paris Jackson’s previous releases with The Soundflowers and the bewildering alt rock icon she may become.
“As a musical introduction, it’s enthralling, inconsistent and, at times, excellent. Ultimately, this is a glimpse of the artist that Jackson could be.”
In other news, Paris previously stated she had “zero per cent involvement” in the upcoming biographical film about her father titled Michael. Even so, Colman Domingo, who portrays Michael Jackson’s father Joe in the movie, suggested that Paris and her brother Prince were “very much in support” of the film. Paris later responded publicly, saying the situation had been misunderstood and that details were “twisted”.
Earlier this year in January, Paris also marked six years of sobriety. She also shared a message encouraging people facing mental health struggles, reminding them that they are “not alone”.
