NOW Posted April 24 Posted April 24 (edited) Quote Eilish and Finneas call Hit Me Hard and Soft "an album-ass album." It's not a concept record, but it is a self-consciously cohesive set of songs, inspired by auteurist works from the past 15 years or so, like Coldplay's Viva La Vida, Lana Del Rey's Born to Die, Tyler, the Creator's Goblin, Marina and the Diamonds' Electra Heart, and Vince Staples' Big Fish Theory. "I love being dropped into a universe on a person's album," Finneas says, "when you find a whole body of work that you love to listen to, top to bottom. I'm so much happier than when I hear a great song, when you're like, 'Oh, wow, I get to cook my whole dinner listening to this album.'" https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/billie-eilish-hit-me-hard-and-soft-mental-health-fame-1235003585/ Edited April 24 by NOW 3

Johnny Jacobs Posted April 24 Posted April 24 I am willing to bet on a lot of money it will sound nothing like BTD the weeknd saying his album is inspired by Britney tease 1
M!X Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Billie served so much quality already, but I have a feeling we are about to STAN this new album. Really feels exciting
LadyDiana Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Interesting. Either this will sound great or she "britney Jeaned" us...
ttsmu Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Born to Die is one of the best albums released in the last decade, OMG. I'm so excited for this new album from Billie
wish Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Sooo excited. I also love that Billie & Finneas are going for a more "immersive" album experience this time around. The 4-5 minute track lengths are a great sign. 2
MatiRod Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Born to Die was the Nevermind of the 2010s. Completely reformatted what was popular in its image. Along with Take Care by Drake. 2 1

Along with Take Care by Drake. The fact that Kurt himself is one of the main reasons she took up music and today she has Courtney on speed dial...so many of her crazy manifestations from her younger days ended up coming to life somehow. OT: I love what I heard from Billie's snippets so far and she hasn't missed yet. Another easy AOTY contender is coming. Edited April 24 by NOW 1
