Paris Jackson takes a hard left into fresh territory with “lighthouse.” Where her 2020 album wilted, and even an EP issued earlier this year, aligned with her folk fascination, the new single explodes with a rock-grunge attitude. “I can feel the lights go low, but I don’t wanna let go now,” she snaps on the song, largely inspired by Nirvana’s 1992 track “Sliver.” She further unfurls on the chorus, “Maybe if I turn around, you’ll see me and what you used to be / Your wave keeps crashing in a changeless sea.” The musical coating certainly suits her voice, perhaps even more than any other genre.
