"Summerset," a polysemic phrase coined by J. Paris to not only colloquially describe the Summer Sun’s eve but also the advent of change and the end of an era. It signifies uncertainty in change, the end of familiarity, and the insecurities of tomorrow; however, it also represents as the possibilities of a new day and chapter. The Florida-based and Princeton-bound nomad recorded this project in Los Angeles where he came to mark the closure of his artistry as we know it and, perhaps, the start of even greater heights. “You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” Over the past 2 years, Paris's growth has been undeniable as he has continued to follow his motto of "Don't get upset, get better," creating projects in parallel alignment with his progression at Princeton — first with his Freshman EP, "Elephant in the Room," moving to his Sophomore and Junior mixtapes "Apologies For Breaking Your Heart" and "NO SECOND CHANCES," and finally culminating in this second EP. Each time, Paris strived to make his successive works irrefutably better than their predecessors, and the fruition of his cumulative labor is more than evident. Not quite a senior project, this work of art acts as something in-between: a reflection of his growth and experience in the last 2 years and a push for what could be. With the goal of setting the stage for a signed and managed senior project, Paris uses this EP to describe the eve of this solo and independent foundational chapter of his life in music, mindset, and experience as he bets all his chips into this work as a capstone portfolio of his artistic potential.
