Billie Eilish is a young singer songwriter who is constantly growing in popularity and confidence. After hearing her first two singles Ocean Eyes and Six Feet Under last year I was not only amazed by her creative songwriting and distinct vocals but also shocked to learn that she is only 15 years old. This year she’s back with a handful of new songs that hint towards a first album in the near future and is a taster of her soon to be released EP ‘don’t smile at me’. After releasing the extremely catching and dark ‘Bellyache’ in March she has subsequently released singles ‘Bored’ and ‘Watch’ in June, all three perfectly being used to illustrate the musical style of the young Billie Eilish. For someone so young, Billie Eilish’s music oozes maturity and confidence, she already knows her place in the music industry and is already secure in the type of music she wants to continue producing.
The newest addition to her growing collection of releases is called ‘copycat’ and was released on the 13th of this month. Once again, the menacing and twisted quality of her music shines through. The distorted bass and heavy percussion coupled with Billie’s clever songwriting and brooding melancholic voice (that has become her trademark at this point) creates a song that is dark and satisfying. The song gives us a glimpse of the music style and brand Billie is attempting to carve out for herself. Within the space of one year Billie Eilish has gone from promising singer songwriter to rising pop power house, there is no doubt that pretty soon she’s going to be big. I’ll be eagerly awaiting more new material from this talented young artist in the run up to the release of her ‘don’t smile at me’ EP.
