Billie on her new sound
Her debut album, “When we all fall asleep, where do we go?”, boosted Eilish into superstardom. The album debuted at number 1 on billboard.
In an interview with Laura Snapes for British Vogue, Billie Eilish talked about her single “Your Power,” from her sophomore album saying, “It’s an open letter to people who take advantage—mostly men.” She continued, “I would like people to listen to me. And not just try to figure out who I’m talking about, because it’s not about that. It’s really not at all about one person. You might think, ‘It’s because she’s in the music industry’—no, dude. It’s everywhere.”
Billie discussed the album in an interview with Rolling Stone speaking with Brittany Spanos, she said; “Almost none of the songs on this album are joyful.”
Billie has broken numerous records, but recently broke her own record with “Happier than ever” by having the most presaved music album on Apple music.
Fans have expressed their opinions on Billie’s new sound on social media, calling it another “iconic masterpiece” by the young pop icon;
