Billie Eilish Album Review
Billie Eilish has made quite a name for herself in the world of guitar and song writing. Her music has been featured on some of the biggest radio shows in the UK, including This Is Engine Rooms, BBC Radio 1Xtra, All About Music, The World and On FM. With her band, The Lovephonics, she has made some interesting and catchy albums that have been critiqued by critics and fans alike.
Her latest album, Happier Than Ever, is sure to please her fans even more with its witty and bright musical concepts. The album is a collaboration between herself and her friend, the band member, Matt Helderman. The songs on this album are very diverse and tackle topics such as love, relationships, friendships, motherhood, divorce, drinking and drugs. It is an album that would appeal to everyone, from those who prefer hard rock an electro-pop to those that prefer a softer approach with jingling bells and sultry melodies.
One of the songs on Happier Than Ever, ‘Your World Is Going Here’, is a wonderfully written song about the band and what it means to the people involved. The song speaks of how the band used to look back fondly on their earlier years and what they had gained from it. It is a touching moment and one that exemplifies what makes bands successful: their ability to love what they do, and to have fun doing it. Another great track on the album, ‘Happier Than Ever’ features the lovely vocals of former Spice Girl Melanie Brown. Ms Brown has quite the singing voice and the words are wise and inspired.
No Way Back By Billie Eilish Album Review
While it is true that Matt Helderman and Billie Eilish have done several collaborative projects throughout the years, the most recent collaboration came via a duet called ‘Your World Is Going Here’. Their original version was a duet entitled ‘Irene’, but it is unclear whether that song was ever intended to become part of the Imaginext label. Regardless, it is a beautiful and stirring rendition and one that truly highlights the unique talents of both vocalists. In particular, Matt Helderman’s high-pitched guitar work really provides the base for his work as a lead vocalist.
Other songs from the album include ‘You Are So Lost’, which features the fantastic vocal harmonies between Billie Eilish and James Blunt, and the lovely and haunting lyrics of ‘Love Has Come To Many Places’. If you are looking for a track that is very mellow, then the tracklist for this album might not be for you. However, if you want something a bit more intense, then this album is definitely for you. There are also some nice acoustic interludes that really round off the songs nicely.
Overall, the album is a wonderful collection of songs that capture the essence of pop music at its best. With its heartfelt lyrics and fantastic instrumentals, it is no surprise that No Way Back will become a favorite of many listeners. One of the biggest pluses for this collection is that it sounds great. Hearing it performed live by Billie Eilish and the band creates a dreamy quality to any concert.
