"YEA, YEA" by PARRIS out THIS FRIDAY 😘

Be careful around me... I'm dangerousssss

I just want to say one last goodbye to All's Good. This album has taught me more about myself and the world, and my approach and intention in said world so much more than I ever could have imagined 3 years ago. I want say thank you again to all of the incredible musicians, vocalists, dancers, photographers, funders, fans, and friends that have supported this era from the beginning. To those I've shared a stage with, to those whose talent is present on the album itself, to those whose audacity has inspired me to challenge myself and my listeners, and to everyone else who discovered me during this incredibly beautiful yet difficult journey. You all inspire me to do more, and I will be eternally grateful for your contributions and acknowledgement of me.

A lot of folks have asked what is next for PARRIS? And I've probably responded with a painfully vague and coy response. For that, I will not apologize, however, know that the era of shyness and fragility is over. Understand that I am literally crazy, and set intentions for myself years ahead, and the next 7 years will be a testament to this plan, and my trust in this world to hear me. Yes, seven. Expect new music from me, expect experimentation and rule breaking, expect confusion and change, expect love and vulnerability, expect a little bit of sass!

This all comes with a great deal of focus. As an independent artist, I have so many ideas that I don't need to run through executives. I also don't have the budget or full team to see every idea to the fullest extent of my imagination. The first step to finding that balance is by you knowing who I am. I am PARRIS. On the stage, I am PARRIS, in person I am PARRIS, and when you'd like to engage with my art online, expect to find it with a simple search of PARRIS. Nothing more. Nothing less. I will always be grateful for the stability "RPS&THEBAND" gave me, and the community and institutional validation "All's Good Foundation" has afforded, but alas, I am PARRIS.

So enter this new era with me. Help me say goodbye to All's Good. And let's become together.

If I were here to make you feel comfortable, I'd be dead.

The frequency is shifting. Find your RUNWAY tonight at 12.

Oh To Be the Orchestra — A Poem by PARRIS

Oh to be irreplicatable.
Oh to be the formula.
Oh to be unpredictable.
Oh to be the orchestra.

There's nothing artificial here.
You see, when you aspire not to follow but to be one of one, worries of replacement are absent from your mind.
When a lift of a finger creates a surge of inspiration, the next steps aren't that hard to find.

Take your time. Plan accordingly.
Gather the information, and smile supportively.
Take fine notes, and commit to detail.
Surrender appeasement and product for retail.

Don't be afraid to shock.
Continue to take up space.
You control the tempo, allow the others to keep up the pace.
Try to surprise yourself and see what you find in the inner crevices in the back of your mind.

Organize and collaborate.
You can't do it all alone.
Remember your origins, remember your home.
Be mindful of texture, momentum, and pleasure while seemingly oblivious to the surmounting pressure.

Oh to be irreplicatable.
Oh to be the formula.
Oh to be unpredictable.
Oh to be the orchestra.

It's giving... OFFICIAL!!
