Very cool: http://billie.withyoutube.com/
Per RS: https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/youtube-billie-eilish-infinite-bad-guy-video-1093765/
To celebrate that milestone, and the fact that Eilish’s smash hit is one of the most-covered songs the platform has ever seen, YouTube is releasing what the company calls “the world’s first infinite video,” which takes short clips from tens of thousands of “Bad Guy” covers and randomly links them together, creating a new visual every time. Thanks to AI that can recognize song structure, the clips are always strung together to fit the sequence of the sing.In truth, the “infinite” video isn’t actually infinite. But, according to YouTube, there are 1.46 x 10^100 years of video combinations, so it would be impossible for a person to see the exact same sequence more than once in their lifetime. The video was created with 10.5 million seconds of digital content.

Not Billie, but this performance was really powerful:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-5qRTeuX8w

Ugh I hate that I kind of love her now but there’s no denying she’s an astounding performer and most of their compositions and production suit her to a T.
I’ve even switched into thinking “my future” sounded pleasantly generic into thinking it’s one of my favorite songs of the year.

I think what’s really standing out to me after seeing a few of her live videos is how much confidence she has in her own voice and how often it’s stripped from too many things going on except for layers of vocals (e.g. “my future”, “when the party’s over”, “everything I wanted”...).
Anyways, she’s won me with the mellow ballads. Still not a fan on her more “fun” side (therefore I am, bad guy...) but I do love “bury a friend” so I might be getting there.

Is that Leeann Rimes on The Masked Singer?

That is the rumor

she's doing a song with Rosalia which would be a lot more exciting if it wasn't for a TV show soundtrack (Euphoria)

i can't remember the last rosalía collab i actually liked (was it "con altura"??) so i fully expect this to be underwhelming

I can hear a middle ground in their sound that makes me think this could actually be good.

It does sound tailored for movie/tv though

I don't "hear" it; it's pleasant but barely there for me.

there's something about how it ends that i feel like could have been improved but i haven't any idea how

it kind of just stops playing, right?

there’s no resolution no, but it makes that last line land extra hard

kinda surprised no one's talking about her new single because it's really good
― ufo, Friday, 30 April 2021 16:20 (three years ago) link
It is good. Are the lyrics about someone/something specific?

Taylor Swift?

“This is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” Eilish wrote on Instagram. “I feel very vulnerable putting this one out because I hold it so close to my heart. This is about many different situations that we’ve all either witnessed or experienced. I hope this can inspire change.”

Last night I taught myself a few Billie Eilish songs on piano; they were surprisingly fun to play. Good chords.

I was just about to bump this thread for this song, which is great

Very Feist-y to these old ears--I like the subtle sub wubs btw 1:18-1:45/2:32-3:00 (at which point there's a decent visual pun w/r/t to her singing "If they kill your contract" while the boa's finally in full constriction position)
― Kangol In The Light (Craig D.), Friday, 30 April 2021 20:45 (three years ago) link
(Also, main verse melody's somewhat similar to "Re: Stacks" by Bon Iver, innit?)

fans think it's mostly about her ex-bf 7:AMP

Oh, he was her bf (whom she calls "Q") in the World's a Little Blurry doc.
― jaymc, Friday, 30 April 2021 22:10 (three years ago) link
I love the video and I love the guitar tone but this is a little underwhelming overall to me, it feels a lot more conventional than I would expect from her.
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 1 May 2021 10:26 (three years ago) link
there's enough with the subtle bass synth etc. going on to make it a little more interesting than being just a straight acoustic ballad

not sold on this yet, a ballad is not what i was expecting or wanted from her right now
― Bee OK, Sunday, 2 May 2021 00:21 (three years ago) link
Then wait for the album, it will probably be great in context. 1. "Getting Older" 4:042. "I Didn't Change My Number" 2:383. "Billie Bossa Nova" 3:164. "My Future" 3:305. "Oxytocin" 3:306. "Goldwing" 2:317. "Lost Cause" 3:328. "Halley's Comet" 3:549. "Not My Responsibility" 3:4710. "Overheated" 3:3411. "Everybody Dies" 3:2612. "Your Power" 4:0513. "NDA" 3:1514. "Therefore I Am" 2:5315. "Happier Than Ever" 4:5816. "Male Fantasy" 3:14

it’s a really awesome song and it’s not like her releasing ballads as singles is unprecedented
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 2 May 2021 02:17 (three years ago) link
It has some really cool things going on in the production that makes it stand out from the usual ballad: the synth bass, how busy the first chorus sounds when compared with how stripped it is the second time, the synths in the second verse. loving how every backing part is never the same twice and how tasteful it all sounds. Is Finneas the one behind the whole production?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 2 May 2021 04:59 (three years ago) link
I love this song, flippant remark above notwithstanding. as in many of her ballads I find her voice/vocal mesmerising.
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Sunday, 2 May 2021 18:50 (three years ago) link
Who came up with this idea of releasing one of the slow ones at the end of the album first, instead of the front-end bangers? Wolf Alice just did the same putting out track 9, a slow piano ballad. Lana did the same in advance of Norman Fuckin Rockwell.
― piscesx, Sunday, 2 May 2021 23:31 (three years ago) link
it's actually the third single so far
a little disappointed that "everything i wanted" isn't on the album like the other post-when we all fall asleep singles though
― ufo, Sunday, 2 May 2021 23:39 (three years ago) link
“Everything I wanted” was included in the reissue/deluxe version of her previous album
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 3 May 2021 00:11 (three years ago) link
I too would have preferred if they have saved it for this new one instead but I guess they needed a plus factor for the reissue/deluxe.
