Opening up about her fame and having to deal with stalkers as a result of this, Eilish sings “There’s a lot I’m grateful for / But it’s different when a stranger’s always waiting at your door”. Getting Older opens up the record with a somber start, a moody yet stylistic backing track featuring some of Eilish’s most insightful and self-reflecting lyrics to date. It’s an hour-long, making it her longest piece of work to date, but each minute is one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Just when I thought Eilish couldn’t outdo WWAFAWDWG, she delivers an album that’s somehow even more refined, memorable, insightful, and emotional. The production by her brother Finneas O’Connell was a thing of beauty, the tracks themselves catchy and memorable and the lyrics surprisingly thought-provoking.Įilish’s sophomore record Happier Than Ever was in many people’s top three most anticipated albums of the year and I’m beyond delighted to report that I loved every aspect of this album. With When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?Eilish seemingly unleashed every ounce of creativity inside of her, culminating in one of the best pop albums of the decade.
#WHEN IM AWAY FROM YOU IM.HAPPIER THAN EVER FULL#
Her extended play Don’t Smile At Me was full of extreme promise and featured incredibly striking tracks such as Bellyache and Ocean Eyes that teased the singer-songwriter’s capabilities. I was instantly enamored by the sound and I remember going home afterward and listening to Eilish’s entire catalog of music immediately. I watched the superhero horror flick Brightburn and sure enough, the ending credits featured Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy. The first time I ever listened to a Billie Eilish song wasn’t because I went out of my way to do it – I really didn’t have a choice in the matter. BTS’ V, Blackpink’s Jennie clicked holding hands in Paris, fans say ‘My heart is screaming’.Happier Than Ever more than proves that Billie Eilish is doing better than she ever was – personally, sonically, and thematically.‘Persuaded John Abraham to give up his job for acting’: Dabboo Ratnani calls actor ‘genuinely kind’.BSE Odisha 10th Result 2023 Declared: 3,222 schools score 100%, overall pass percentage at 96.04%.Cabinet reshuffle: Who is Arjun Ram Meghwal, the newly appointed Law Minister.If 2019’s “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” was sarcastic, quirky, internal and angsty, “Happier Than Ever” is fuller and grander, the songs stronger in their construction, crisper. Seven Grammy Awards haven’t changed her or her co-writer and producer, Finneas. “Will you only feel bad if it turns out/That they kill your contract?” she taunts. Those same evil forces are at play on the album’s triumph - the acoustic guitar-driven “Your Power,” pleading with a mentor abusing his power over someone in his thrall. On the hypnotic “GOLDWING” - which starts as a hymn based on a Hindu verse - she warns a novice: “You’re sacred and they’re starved/And their art is gettin’ dark/And there you are to tear apart.” WATCH: Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever”Įilish also reaches up to expose unequal power structures, often returning to the theme of innocence polluted. On “NDA,” she acknowledges a real-life stalker (“Had to save my money for security”) and on “OverHeated,” an encounter with paparazzi leads to an examination of surgery and “plastic” bodies. Using that as a launching pad, Billie Eilish goes on to explore fame and it’s dark sides.
