Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

[Michael1128]

Yes this is indeed her best album by far. I’ve always enjoyed her music but wanted her to sing outside of the whisper vocal and on this she is proper singing. 10/10

 

[Joe.]

Yeah, sorry to Ariana, Beyoncé, Dua and Taylor, because this is the immediate AOTY for me, in terms of the BPG releases anyway. It balances having enough that will pop on radio but still having those moments that challenge her artistically, perfectly. There's twists and turns as you go through each track but most importantly, the whole thing is filled with hooks.

She gets better with every album which is very exciting.

I knew I'd be enthralled with this album and I wasn't wrong! Easily my favourite record from her and I selfishly hope the double album rumours are true, so I can soak in it for even longer

 

[Veeis]

After first listen and yeah, it's great. Her best album in my opinion, but she's only going up in my personal ranking, as Happier Than Ever also topped the first one.

Oh this is incredible. And “The Diner” is so twisted. It sounds like a track from Demon Days.

 

[goldsoundz]

“Chihiro” and “Birds” are excellent.

“Birds” sounds like “Passionfruit” by Drake.

“Lunch” is definitely the single, but it’s my least favorite track because it sounds like every generic TikTok smash in 2021-2, and the melody is very one note.

Perfect Cowboy Carter description.

So is this more uptempo than her previous albums? Is it house-influenced?

Not really more uptempo. There’s one electro track and a few with electro flourishes or outros.

 

[mindtrappa]

It’s kinda like she took My Future, Billie Bossa Nova, TV, and Happier Than Ever and threw some trance influences into the mix.

Watch this to be a double album as well.

 

[mindtrappa]

Already rumored. The actual album ends with this as well, but we'll see. I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Sam]

Kinda wish the second half of L’amour De Ma Vie was a full song

 

[timothy_b]

THE CHANGE UP IN L’AMOUR DE MA VIE!!

I wish it would change up much sooner. The second part is one of the best things I’ve heard in ages! I really hope she releases it separately (and extended).

 

[mylesofsmiles93]

On first listen soundscape of the album is superb, need some more time with it as wouldn’t say it has the highs as some of the first two albums.

Still struggling with some of her diction.

 

[Speakerphone]

Could also be a remix album or something to accompany on SoundCloud.

 

[bad karma]

Oh wow just finished my first listen and I’m really happy with how this has turned out, she’s pushed herself creatively and shown she’s ready to belt (a little) and bop (a little) - she really is the artist to watch still.

 

[Joe.]

So is this more uptempo than her previous albums? Is it house-influenced?

I’d for sure say there’s more bop moments than usual, yes.

 

[Babylon]

CHIHIRO!!!

That high-pitched section has changed my life.
