Her music has been described as “dark” and “emotional,” but what sets her apart from other pop and indie stars is that she doesn’t shy away from talking about controversial topics such as loss, depression, and self-image in her lyrics.
For example, in the song “idontwannabeyouanymore,” she explores her vulnerabilities, confronting her lack of self-confidence and self-deprecating thoughts.
“Happier Than Ever,” which was released on July 30, 2021, is another song in which she does not hold back.
Billie Eilish revealed in an interview that she wrote “Happier Than Ever” about her ex-lover.
She said: “I just wasn’t happy, and I didn’t want the same things he wanted, and I don’t think that’s fair for him. I don’t think you should be in a relationship super excited about certain things that the other person couldn’t care less about. I don’t think that’s fair to you. I didn’t think that was fair to him.”
She continued: “There was just a lack of effort, I think. I literally was just like, ‘Dude, you don’t even have enough love to love yourself. You can’t love me, dude. And you don’t. You think you do.”
Her unique style and sound have made her one of the most popular artists in the world, and her influence is felt everywhere from music to fashion. But where did she get all of this? What inspired her?
It turns out that Billie credits many different artists for influencing her sound over the years, including the Beatles, Justin Bieber, Green Day, Arctic Monkeys, Linkin Park and Lana Del Rey.
Well, it depends on your definition of “indie.” If you’re thinking about an independent artist who makes money from their music and doesn’t have a big record label backing them up, then no, – Billie Eilish is definitely not an indie artist. Billie Eilish is signed with Interscope Records…
But if you think of indie as a genre of music that’s not pop or country or R&B, then, yes, she might be considered an Indie artist
Billie Eilish has been called “pop,” but her sound is unique and it’s easy to see why she is classified as an indie artist. Billie Eilish has been compared to Lana Del Rey, however, she is far more experimental with her music than Lana Del Rey ever was.
She has a unique style that blends various elements of different kinds of genres. For example in her debut studio single “Ocean Eyes”, she combines elements of pop, dream-pop, synth-pop, indie-pop and R&B.
Billie Eilish’s biggest hit is “Bad Guy” which was released on March 29, 2019. Finneas produced the song, which was written by Billie Eilish and Finneas.
This song has a lot of bass and has Billie Eilish mocking her lover by showing off how tough she is while yet doubting her own power.
As a result of its minimalistic arrangement (synthesizer bass, kicked drum, amplified finger snares, 808 bass), the song has been referred to as “electropop,” “dance-pop,” “nu-goth pop,” and “pop-trap”
“So you’re a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can’t get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I’m that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I’m the bad guy”
