  • Girl literally said she gave up on trying to make the perfect album and then drops the most beautiful raw emotion album ❤
  • @dabordietrying
    i genuinely think billie eilish is one of the only celebrities who didnt fall into the trap of "whatever age you get famous at you will stay that age mentally forever" because she's really grown and it shows.
  • This record is unlike anything else, I feel like I'm free. I love you Billie and Finneas!
  • @TheVariShow
    The light vocal control Billie has is her super power everybody can’t do that like her
  • @billyalarie929
    Two ladies just chatting, Billie playing with her hair this whole time. HAVE to love this vibe.
  • @gilli4899
    shout out to the interview, she was very attentive and you could tell Billie felt comfortable and was active in the conversation. Excited to hear the album!
  • @billyalarie929
    “Singing is a craft. Getting it right is a really big passion of mine.” You absolutely can tell she means it when she says this.
  • I LOVED her vocals in this album. She sounds confident, it’s fun and creative. Loved it
  • @capriisann
    Stop because The diner & Chihiro are literally restoring my soul
  • @MrAaaKMA
    just listened nonstop the album and never thought I would be able to produce this amount of tears. thanks to you billie i look like shit at work tomorrow, but totally worth it. you touched my heart
  • I’ve often thought Billie’s voice is old Hollywood-esque so it makes total sense she sees her voice as a jazzy voice! Soooo smooth I absolutely love it

    I'm 70 and a long ago hockey player - and the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ARE ON - I chose listening to this oover over watching the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes [ I will get to that] - as I am a Billie super-admirer [as an aside, Triple j 16 yr. old Billie's cover of Michael Jackson's 'Bad' is classic , it's awesome - try to invite, encourage, entice, her into doing another cover of someone in 2025 for "Like A Version"] - For me as someone who truly treasures Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, S&G, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven - I truly believe, Billie is not just another pop artist, she is a hapax phenomenon - a generational artiste guided by a muse who blesses all sorts of people. Thank you for the interview Lucy Smith and Billie Eilish.

    I LOVE when interviews are ACTUALLY about the music! This is what I wanna hear about! Loved them both — such a nice vibe 🫰🏼
  • @isabellrc
    I’m very glad to hear she’s trying to face her mental health issues, and get up & out. She went through such a deep depression over the last year. Remember, if you are struggling REACH OUT….
  • You guys Billie&Finneas are literally one of the truest musicians and incredibly talented, what did we do to deserve this crazyy good album!!!! Love you both sm
