The Struts & Paris Jackson Team Up for New Song “Low Key In Love”
British rock band The Struts teamed up with American singer-songwriter Paris Jackson to release a new song “Low Key In Love”.
This marks the first collaboration between The Struts and Paris Jackson.
The track was written by Luke Spiller, Adam Slack, Thomas Schleiter, Nick Long and Paris Jackson. Produced by Tommy English.
“Low Key In Love was written after a date in Los Angeles at 70's retro bar, Good Times at Davey Wayne's,” the band frontman Luke Spiller said in a press release. “I walked into the studio explaining that we needed the song to have the essence you feel when entering the bar and absorb the vibe. When we decided to explore the idea of a duet, I thought back to that night and remembered that Paris played a brilliant acoustic set. Something inside was telling me that everything happened for a reason, so I decided to message her. I'm convinced some things are just written in the stars. Bringing in Paris just gave the song a whole new dimension and really brings the story to life. She is beautiful and brilliant. A star.”- “I first heard of The Struts when I went to go see Motley Crue play their final set on New Year's Eve night at Staples Center a few years ago,” Paris Jackson said. “The boys opened up for them and I had no idea it was going to be as incredible as it was. I just remember turning to my friend and saying 'who the fuck are these guys!?' I was so blown away by their talent, their stage presence, and their energy. It felt like I had time travelled and got to experience what rock'n'roll was at its prime, like with the Rolling Stones and Queen. I started listening to their music and would see them at events here and there, and we've always been pretty friendly online. When Luke asked to work with me, it was an immediate yes. It's been a privilege and an honour to sing on a song that I know means so much to Luke, and I'm grateful for the friendship that has sprung from such a lovely project. It's unlike anything I have ever done or thought to do before, and I'm here for it!”

Also, she recently told about her music and father Michael Jackson, “He loved classical music and jazz and Hip Hop and R&B and obviously the Motown stuff. But also like radio's Top 40 and he loved rock music, soft rock. The Beatles. So we grew up around all of that and I feel like all of that somehow influences my stuff and if you listen to my album even there's some movie soundtrack like influences as well like Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman, as well as like rock bands like Radiohead, and Manchester Orchestra.” - source : Spotify
