Parris Chariz’s New Release "Star" + Interview with RESPECT. Mag

You ever had someone make you feel small? Or like you weren’t good enough for them? It seems many of us have. BUT even with those negative feelings surrounding us, we have managed to push through and realize our worth. Realize we are stars!

Parris Chariz’s newest track, “Star” speaks to his own personal experience with a woman that didn’t appreciate him or value his worth but he reminded himself that he didn’t need that type of energy around him. “The inspiration [for ‘Star’] comes from a personal experience I had of getting played by a girl I thought liked me, and really it was just convenient. I think as a man it’s kinda weird to say you gotta know your worth but, it’s true I had to understand I was a star and act accordingly.”

Positivity always out shines negativity. And when someone is trying to bring negativity to you, you stand tall and show them they can’t out shine you. Because that’s what stars do.

RESPECT.: What about the production made you decide that this was the sound you wanted?

Parris: The moment I heard the melody I knew it was perfect! The drums just made it hit home. All together it plainly said to me that I have to keep it a 100 with myself and move like the star I am!

RESPECT.: What would you like listeners to get from the track?

Parris: I want them to know their worth, know that they’re a star! From their own experiences that have worn them out, when they hear this I want them to feel every line in their soul! I want them to know they are still here for a reason and can make the decision today to act like the star they are.

RESPECT.: What is coming up next for Parris Chariz?

Parris: Next is the album which has been in the works for over a year! I’m excited to let that simmer and prayerfully we can get on the road this summer. We got some visuals still in the works too! I have a ton of songs for the year, but we want to move with the spirit.
