Beginning with the haunting alt-pop smash “Ocean Eyes” in 2016, Billie Eilish made it clear she was a new kind of pop star—an overtly awkward introvert who favors chilling melodies, moody beats, creepy videos, and a teasing crudeness à la Tyler, The Creator. Now 17, the Los Angeles native—who was homeschooled along with her brother and co-writer, Finneas O’Connell—presents her much-anticipated debut album, a melancholy investigation of all the dark and mysterious spaces that linger in the back of our minds. Sinister dance beats unfold into chattering dialogue from The Office on “my strange addiction,” and whispering vocals are laid over deliberately blown-out bass on “xanny.” “There are a lot of firsts,” says Finneas. “Not firsts like ‘Here’s the first song we made with this kind of beat,’ but firsts like Billie saying, ‘I feel in love for the first time.’ You have a million chances to make an album you're proud of, but to write the song about falling in love for the first time? You only get one shot at that.”
Billie, who is both beleaguered and fascinated by night terrors and sleep paralysis, has a complicated relationship with her subconscious. “I’m the monster under the bed, I’m my own worst enemy,” she told Beats 1 host Zane Lowe during an interview in Paris. “It’s not that the whole album is a bad dream, it’s just…surreal.” With an endearingly off-kilter mix of teen angst and experimentalism, Billie Eilish is really the perfect star for 2019—and here is where her and Finneas' heads are at as they prepare for the next phase of her plan for pop domination. “This is my child,” she says, “and you get to hold it while it throws up on you.”
Figuring out her dreams:
Billie: “Every song on the album is something that happens when you’re asleep—sleep paralysis, night terrors, nightmares, lucid dreams. All things that don't have an explanation. Absolutely nobody knows. I've always had really bad night terrors and sleep paralysis, and all my dreams are lucid, so I can control them—I know that I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming. Sometimes the thing from my dream happens the next day and it's so weird. The album isn’t me saying, 'I dreamed that'—it’s the feeling.”
Getting out of her own head:
Billie: “There's a lot of lying on purpose. And it's not like how rappers lie in their music because they think it sounds dope. It's more like making a character out of yourself. I wrote the song '8' from the perspective of somebody who I hurt. When people hear that song, they're like, 'Oh, poor baby Billie, she's so hurt.' But really I was just a dickhead for a minute and the only way I could deal with it was to stop and put myself in that person's place.”
Being a teen nihilist role model:
Billie: “I love meeting these kids, they just don't give a f**k. And they say they don't give a f**k because of me, which is a feeling I can't even describe. But it's not like they don't give a f**k about people or love or taking care of yourself. It's that you don't have to fit into anything, because we all die, eventually. No one's going to remember you one day—it could be hundreds of years or it could be one year, it doesn't matter—but anything you do, and anything anyone does to you, won't matter one day. So it's like, why the f**k try to be something you're not?”
Embracing sadness:
Billie: “Depression has sort of controlled everything in my life. My whole life I’ve always been a melancholy person. That’s my default.”
Finneas: “There are moments of profound joy, and Billie and I share a lot of them, but when our motor’s off, it’s like we’re rolling downhill. But I’m so proud that we haven’t shied away from songs about self-loathing, insecurity, and frustration. Because we feel that way, for sure. When you’ve supplied empathy for people, I think you’ve achieved something in music.”
Staying present:
Billie: “I have to just sit back and actually look at what's going on. Our show in Stockholm was one of the most peak life experiences we've had. I stood onstage and just looked at the crowd—they were just screaming and they didn’t stop—and told them, 'I used to sit in my living room and cry because I wanted to do this.' I never thought in a thousand years this s**t would happen. We’ve really been choking up at every show.”
Finneas: “Every show feels like the final show. They feel like a farewell tour. And in a weird way it kind of is, because, although it's the birth of the album, it’s the end of the episode.”

ilomilo (Live From The Film - Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry) [音乐] 豆瓣

Billie Eilish continues building up the hype for her upcoming documentary Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry by releasing the live audio for "ilomilo."
The 19-year-old global phenomenon released the nearly three-minute recording on Monday (Feb. 22), and one of the song's lyrics contains the doc's very title. She performed the spine-chilling, pulsating track "ilomilo" at Houston's Toyota Center on Oct. 10, 2019, which will briefly appear in the film.
Her brother and hitmaker-in-crime Finneas confirmed on Instagram to a fan that the song references a 2010 puzzle video game where a player has to reunite two friends named ilo and milo who are constantly separated from one another. During her March 7, 2019-dated episode of First We Feast's Hot Ones, Eilish told host Sean Evans about the song. "The whole idea is the game, it’s just like, losing the person you love and then finding them again," she said.
"The world's a little blurry/ Or maybe it's my eyes/ The friends I've had to bury/ They keep me up at night/ Said I couldn't love someone/ 'Cause I might break/ If you're gonna die, not by mistake," she sings in the second verse, which references two other tracks from her 2019 breakthrough debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?: "xanny" and "bury a friend."
Before The World's a Little Blurry debuts globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, a live premiere event is set to kick off at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on Thursday. Viewers can stream it for free through the Apple TV and Apple Music apps, or on Eilish's YouTube channel. Apple Music's Zane Lowe will host the special, which will include a stripped-down performance from Eilish and a chat with her, plus an interview with director R.J. Cutler and video from the film.
The Apple Original Films documentary feature -- produced in partnership with Interscope Films, The Darkroom, This Machine and Lighthouse Management + Media -- tells the story of Eilish's extraordinary rise to superstardom as a teenager, on the road and at home recording her Billboard 200 No. 1 album and two-time Grammy-winning debut When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
