There’s a point in every anxious spiral where the voice in your head gets just loud enough to feel real, and Trip To Paris capture that exact moment with searing clarity on their new single 'Imposter Syndrome'. Equal parts confession and confrontation, the track explores self-doubt, giving that nagging inner critic a mic and letting it loose over a bed of blistering guitar and restless percussion.
The Naarm-based trio, consisting of Paris Bendistinto (vocals/bass), Jordan (guitar), and Cole (drums), have honed a sound that threads a tightrope between raw introspection and big-room catharsis. On 'Imposter Syndrome', they take that formula and crank the intensity without losing their grip on melody. The riffs land with real weight, but never drag; the drums are tight and relentless, pushing the track forward like a racing heartbeat you can’t quite slow down.
But it’s Bendistinto’s vocal performance that pulls everything into sharp focus. There’s a clarity to the delivery that feels both polished and emotionally bare. As the lyrics tumble out, they channel the tangled narrative of self-doubt and perfectionism with unnerving precision. Lines that might read like internal monologue on paper become pointed and urgent in context. But what makes the song land so well is the band’s ability to make that psychological storm sound anthemic.
Trip To Paris know how to write a catchy track laced with substance. 'Imposter Syndrome' is as self-aware as it is self-critical, delivering a message that feels uncomfortably familiar to anyone who’s ever second-guessed their own success or wondered if they belonged in the room. And while the subject matter is heavy, the execution is electric, balancing honesty with a kind of adrenaline rush that begs to be played loud.
