Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

[theelusivechanteuse]

She's giving Ed, Edd and Eddy in the Lunch video and I'm obsessed.

Also, listening to Birds of a Feather on a walk and watching life pass by...it changes you.

Try it on a bike in the sun.

Finneas really worked his whole finussy out on the production of some of these tracks.

Interesting how L'amour de ma vie is the exact same topic/same narrative/same conclusion as Taylor-LOML!

The fucking synths in Chihiro taking me on an interstellar journey every time I listen.

Do you mean opposite? Taylor is mourning a relationship in hers and Billie is saying she lied to this person and they were never meant to be and she’s glad it’s over

Her Lunch video is giving me brilliant Ghost World vibes. Vibrant and full of personality. BPGs, please take note.

The massive display for this album at all the Target stores around me (more than a dozen) is empty, like every copy CD and vinyl, is sold out. Insane.

I love the entire album, but I can’t stop just looping Bittersuite and Blue. A vibey soundscape that I just want to live in forever.

 

[mindtrappa]

I’m always obsessed when she weaves in her own track titles/lyrics into songs, like she does on “goodbye” and “NDA”. “Bittersuite” and “Blue” take that to another level, though, and it’s already wild enough that “Blue” is two unreleased songs from 2016 and 2021 put together, but then adding the album’s “theme” song, other lyrics and samples from tracks that preceded it in order to tie it all together as the finale… truly insane. Self referencing like that can easily be cringe, but she pulls it off every time.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER, though.
Absolutely stunning.

 

[Aneres11]

Holy shit. In addition to my above post, the same basically applies for all tracks.
They're definitely all revealing themselves now and my god... This is a masterpiece.

I did not have a Billie Eilish album being my AOTY on my bingo card this year!

Who can provide and then subsequently laminate my Stan card asap?

Bird of a feather. Hot weather. Long walk. Blue skies. Amazing.

 

[Mr Blonde]

now why did Billie have to come for Dua’s sun drenched poolside pop gig with Lunch - Chihiro - Birds Of A Feather?

 

[digitalkaiser]

I know i said this before, but BLUE is seriously the crown jewel for me here, its the whole album summed up in one track. The whole collection has been on repeat but I’m always very excited to hear BLUE again. I love how the back half morphs into those strings.

Its giving shades of lana del rey, a big blockbuster “sad song”. Just dripping in drama, with production that takes you on a ride. Her voice has so much warmth and texture all over this.

Lana’s DNA is all over the song, which I guess shouldn’t be surprising. The original “True Blue” from 2016 is very Born to Die era.

Yep same at mine, I wanted a seedee copy while I ran in for some things last night but had to order it online. My record shop let me go ahead and pay for one of the indie exclusive vinyls (they didn’t get their shipment). She’s got my ass with this album, I’m obsessed.

This album definitely HIT ME HARD AND SOFT all at once! She knew what she was doing and she ATE! This has to be a contender for album of the year, no doubts about it.

Casual fan here, so excuse the question, but has she ever worked with anyone else other than her brother? His production is so good.

Just him across all her albums
