Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

This doesn’t quite beat Cowboy Carter for my AOTY but it comes close. The production is brilliantly fluid (which also mirrors the water theme) and the vocals and songs on top are top notch. This is why it’s sometimes a good idea to make a tight album without a gazillion songs. Each song has its value and is distinct. My favorite is Birds of a Feather but Skinny, Blue, The Diner, and La’Amour are also up there. Lunch is my least favorite but it still slaps. The synth shower at the end of La’Amour is one of the best musical moments on a pop album in a long time. It’s so good.

Is BIRDS OF A FEATHER one of the best songs ever?

Just had my first playthrough (lots of amazing albums came out that week - Bright Light Bright Light, Girls Aloud Megamix, Shaznay Lewis).

Stunning album and never doubted her. This album clicked straight away and every song is so good, love the way most tracks change up half way.

This is going to be on repeat today.
