Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish recently revealed details on her highly anticipated sophomore album. The 16-track studio album, titled “Happier Than Ever,” will be released via Darkroom/Interscope Records on July 30^th. Continuing the tradition on from her multi-GRAMMY Award, record-breaking debut album, When We All Go To Sleep, Where Do We Go?, this new collection features no outside songwriters or producers, and was written by 19-year-old Billie Eilish and her brother FINNEAS who produced the album in Los Angeles. The lead single, “Your Power” is soft and spare, with Eilish's haunting vocals over an acoustic guitar, pleading in the chorus, "Try not to abuse your power." The music video, directed by Eilish herself, shows her sitting on the side of a mountain in the California desert. During the song's second verse, a snake slowly wraps itself around her neck and torso, perhaps a metaphor for the suffocating power of the song's subject.

When asked about the song, Eilish explained, “This is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. 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. Try not to abuse your power.”

Billie Eilish has fast become one of the biggest stars to emerge since the release of her debut single “Ocean Eyes,” and continues to shatter the ceiling of music with her genre-defying sound. Fast forward from her humble breakout in 2015, Billie’s album, When We All Go To Sleep, Where Do We Go?, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S as well as 17 additional countries around the world upon release, and was the most streamed album of 2019. Eilish went on to make history as the youngest artist to receive nominations and win in all the major categories, at the 62nd GRAMMY® Awards, receiving an award for Best New Artist, Album Of TYhe Year, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album. She is also the youngest artist to write and record an official James Bond theme song, “No Time To Die.” Most recently, Billie Eilish was nominated for four additional awards at the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2021, and took home both Record Of The Year for Everything I Wanted and Best Song Written For Visual Media for “No Time To Die.”
