Out With The Old, In With The New?

Hilton's updated version of "Stars Are Blind" allegedly won't be the only new music she'll be making!

'Nothing In This World' has kept Hilton out of the recording studio!

The end of Hilton's post implies she has been keeping the beat; "More new music to come in the new year!" she concluded in her post.

Before starting a new chapter in her music career, Hilton seems to be looking back to the past. On Sunday, she posted a set of aughts-era pics on Instagram, paying tribute to the era's fashion trends she helped to cultivate!

"Releasing the new 'Stars Are Blind (Paris' Version) has me reminiscing," Hilton wrote, "What's your favorite Y2K fashion trend?" She asked her followers.

The splashes of Hilton's signature pink dresses and the many baby doll dresses Hilton donned while dancing at the club left many of her followers feeling nostalgic! Carmen Electra was definitely inspired to look back. Electra wrote, "Love these memories!"

Makeup artist Priscilla Ono bestowed a big accolade on Hilton's legacy. "P you always been THAT girl," she commented on her pal's photo set.

Musician Wissam Hilal commented "Man, that album was literally a classic! 'Heartbeat' was my fave!"

"Paris, you have not aged a day, an hour, a second," one of Hilton's followers wrote, "You are so stunning, then, now, and always."

"I wear Lip gloss because Paris Hilton wears lip gloss," another follower wrote along with a lips emoji.

"paris you set the tone for like 3 decades worth of trends and u did it while still being one of the most realist out there," a Y2K-themed Instagram account commented.

Another fan posed an important question related to Hilton's new music!

"Are you re-recording your music to own the masters like Taylor?? I hope that becomes a big thing all artists do!," a fan asked.

Currently, Hilton only has one album to her name (maybe this might change soon?). The self-titled album "Paris" was originally released on August 14th, 2006!
