billie eilish

Not hating the production is great and she’s a very competent singer but as a song it’s very non-descript ripe for some cafe del mar compilation.

Seriously go to 2:00 and tell me that couldn't break into "love me love me say that you love me"

This just got recommended to me via youtube...:

Noga Erez - You So Done

Sounds influenced by Billie Eilish.

"my future" is amazing... there's something understated about the groove that displays fluency w/ the reference points but isn't trying to show off that reminds me of velvet rope

@buzzfeed @upworthy

For those interested – she’s doing a $30
livestream concert today/tomorrow (depending on where & when you’re reading this): https://livestream.billieeilish.com/

(or 10 years in the past... depending on when you’re reading this.)

anyone watching? I wonder how much she's making off this; worldwide, $30 a pop, preshow is pretty lined up with sponsors (beats, Verizon, fender). Good for her.

This show is fucking wow. These projections are amazing

Cool video. (Parking at the Glendale Galleria was probably easy for once.)

holy "family affair" batman

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:

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)

It's not TV...

isn't it?

.... it’s HBO

Lol

High five D-40!

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.

Oh... this is out now apparently.

Sounds good. Wasn’t expecting Billie to sing in Spanish.

admittedly much better than i expected

It does sound tailored for movie/tv though

I think this is great

fantastic song

as a matter of fact it’s incredible

it's not what i expected but i still find it ehhhhhh

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

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)

(Also, main verse melody's somewhat similar to "Re: Stacks" by Bon Iver, innit?)

It is good. Are the lyrics about someone/something specific?

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.

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.
