Billie Eilish

Okay, I decided to check out the fuss about Billie Eilish and bought her debut album (on yellow vinyl). It's very good.

Billie's music is appealing. The lyrics are surprisingly deep. Her soprano voice has been accurately described as ethereal.

At the recent Grammys, Billie won five Grammy awards, including the four top categories.

Billie is so young (18) -- she was born after September 11th. I like that "Pirate" is one of her middle names (Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell). She was born in LA and raised by two actors/musicians who encouraged her and her brother Finneas to explore the arts. They've started a musical career that is quickly catapaulting them to superstardom. Billie will sing the title-song in the next James Bond film; she performed at the Grammys; and she will perform again at the Oscars. You'll soon know her as a major celebrity.

  1. I've had her on my play list for almost 10 months now. The very first time I heard her I knew she was going to be huge. Her videos are very creepy but her sound it totally unique.

    1. In a short time you'll know her. She'll become part of the celebrity world which we can't escape even if we try.

  3. I'm probably the only one who kind of doesn't get her to be honest. I think a lot of her stuff kind of sounds the same. I must be getting old, ha!

    1. No problem. Music is subjective. You might change your view in the future. That happens to me a lot with pop music.

  4. Her music is not really to my taste, but I admire her style (well, I liked it more before she became head-to-toe Gucci), that she is pushing against the image of a young female performer and how people expect her to be sexualized/fetishized. Good for her for rejecting that.

    1. Good point. She deliberating wears baggy clothes so people can't judge and comment on her body.

  6. James Corden's Carpool Karaoke with Billie is so good. She and her brother are very talented. They produced that entire album in her bedroom! I can't get over that. Can't wait to see what she is able to accomplish in her music career.

  7. Billie is SO talented- it's hard to believe she's so young, the way she's able to capture feelings with such deep lyrics!

  8. She is such an accomplished, inspiring young woman - whose career, if it wasn't already out of the stratosphere, will only skyrocket all the more with the prestigious honour of singing the next Bond theme song.
