Hi,

I am new here. This is a lovely forum. I like what I’ve seen so far. Thanks for having me here. I hope to be a positive contributor here :slight_smile:

I’ve been listening to Billie Eilish and enjoying her music for some years now. Time flies. It’s impressive to think that she’s made all this great art / music already, and she’s still a kid. Her parents indeed have much to be proud about their kids.

What I enjoy about her music, is so much more than the depth of her talent in composing songs with her brother.

I am moved by, and hopeful for, her and her generation, and those to come after, by her sense of being herself, and not giving in to the puppet masters. How much of that is true and how much of that is window dressing? I don’t think anyone aside from Billie her closest family and confidants really know.

Nevertheless, if you follow the line as it is presented, then it must be said that she has a remarkable character, a great sense of daring, disruption and creativity, and a professional maturity that is well beyond her years.

And on top of it all, the body of her work so far, at least to me, has been something that I think is an inspiration and aspiration to girls and young women. She does seem to truly respect herself and her fans, and I hope that is a quality she never sells out.

I am so looking forward to seeing her in concert. And hopefully we’ll get to enjoy many more new creations by Billie and her brother, for a long time to come.

The latest Switched On Pop is all about Billie Eilish, and they have Finneas (the brother/producer) as a guest. Well worth a listen.

It isn’t on spotify as I discovered to my chagrin last week. Haven’t heard it years, will have to shell out for it. Would be nice if he released something good.

So, I’ve listened to this twice. So initial thoughts are that it’s quite good. Quite a variety of styles. Some very much like the modern Charli XCX stuff (who I love). Sounds promising. Will take a few more listens to properly assess.

Oh, and I’ve been looking up the vinyl releases. The Spotify picture disc isn’t quite as rare as you would think. They’ve done the recent ‘trick’ of hyping it as limited without specifying numbers. It’s on eBay for 50 quid by quite a few sellers. There are rarer versions as listed above…

Been playing this in the car for my teenage daughters and they agreed that it was ace which led to me having a bit of a go at them. “you should be the ones getting me into this record, not the other way round!” kids these days, smh.

1500 copies so yeah, not necessarily that rare, just a small run for someone who’s getting the numbers that she is

£50 for something i paid £25 for is probably the only record i own that’s worth more than i paid it!
