Billie Eilish

If you don’t know Billie Eilish, you need to get out from under that rock you’re living under and educate yourself on one of music’s brightest new stars. The 16-year-old singer-songwriter is taking the pop world by storm with her unique blend of ethereal vocals and dark, edgy lyrics.

Her musical style

Billie Eilish’s music has been described as pop, pop-punk, electropop, synth-pop, and indie pop. Jim DeRogatis of Vulture said that “Eilish is a cunning melodist who favors close harmony singing reminiscent of the Beatles… She’s also an unusually deft lyricist for a teenager.” Hannah Mylrea of i-D wrote that Eilish “makes emo-pop music for the Soundcloud generation”. In an interview with Zane Lowe, she defined her genre as ” haunting pop”.

Her success

I believe that Billie Eilish’s success is due to a number of factors. First and foremost, she is an incredible artist with a unique sound and vision. She has also worked hard to build a strong connection with her fans, who are incredibly loyal and passionate. Additionally, she has benefited from the fact that she came into the music industry at a time when streaming platforms were becoming increasingly popular, giving her a wider audience than she would have had otherwise.

Her single “Truth Hurts” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019, making her the third black woman to top the chart as a solo artist in history.
