The name Billie Eilish is not a strange name to music lovers around the world. Many people commented that she was a “breath of fresh air” in the music industry when she made history as the youngest artist to win the Album of the Year award at the 2020 Grammy. Not only that, she also won 3 other major awards. They are Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year .

With a special dressing style and soprano voice, Billie Eilish (full name Billie Eilsh Pirate Baird O’Connell) gave a voice to young people struggling with depression with her debut album When We all Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? . This album was written by her and her brother Finneas O’Connell in their bedroom.

According to The New Yorker, Billie Eilish is the first 10x artist to top the Billboard 100.

Before that, when Billie was only 14 years old, she also received a lot of praise for the song Ocean Eyes composed and produced by her brother in 2016. After When We all Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  Released in March 2019, this album “climbed straight” to the top position of the Billboard chart.

Billie is not at all like a traditional pop star, she does not wear tight, seductive dresses. Instead, Billie dyed her hair black and green and wore baggy clothes.

She blurs the lines of pop, rock and EDM music genres. Billie introduced a new wave of pop music: darker, sadder and heavier. On her album When We all Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Billie performed a variety of songs, each capturing teenage angst, death and love in their own way. Many music critics commented that Billie Eillish is similar to the musical phenomenon of the once famous American group – Nirvana. Dave Grohl himself, the former drummer of the band Nirvana, also commented on this: “The connection that Eilish creates with the audience is the same as what Nirvana had back in 1991.” He also said that his daughters are extremely fond of, even obsessed with, Billie’s songs.

Many people believe that Billie’s success is a sign that fans want more authentic music products that address serious social issues.

Billie Eilish “took home” the 4 biggest awards at the 2020 Grammys.

Billie’s songs all have “huge” ratings. According to Nielsen Music, the song Bad Guy alone received 1.3 billion downloads in the US in early 2019 and is the 3rd most downloaded song of the year. In terms of album sales, Billie Eilish became the best-selling artist of 2019 in the Pop music genre, “beating” big names like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Ed Sheeran.

Billie shared: “I would rather die than be a passive artist”

Choosing the same path as Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Odd Future,… Billie Eilish does everything herself from being an artist to the creative director of her own music videos. She builds her own multi-layered universe that haunts listeners through a unified flow of music, video, media and staging. Billie controls almost every step of her music. She said: “It’s easy for me like someone will choose my clothes, they will come up with ideas for my videos, they will direct them and I won’t have to touch anything.” . Someone will write my songs, they will produce them and I won’t say anything about it. Someone can even use my personal Instagram page. Everything can be easier if I want. But I’m not that kind of person and am not that kind of artist. I’d rather die than be a passive artist .”

“Her style, the way she thinks, the way she speaks – everything about her is unique. She has a clear, strong point of view, despite being only 14 years old.”

Interscope CEO John Janick commented on Billie Eilish.

It is this way of thinking that makes Billie different and outstanding. In the summer of 2016, her life took a big turn when she met Justin Lubliner of the record label Darkroom. Lubliner saw Billie’s future as a new breed of pop stardom and wasn’t worried about competing with traditional artists like Selena Gomez and Camila Cabello.

Considered the “new face of Pop music”, Billie admitted that she does not like being praised like that. In an interview with Vogue Australia, the Bad Guy singer shared: “It’s really annoying. I’m really grateful to be appreciated like that. But when people call me a new face of pop music or the new girl of pop music or something… it really annoys me. The strange thing about humans is that we always think we have to label and label everything, but actually We don’t need to do that.”

Instead of chasing frivolous titles, the ’18-year-old music phenomenon’ wants to use his fame to make the world better. She explained: “I really don’t want to waste my time like that. I’m trying to direct my popularity to other more important issues like climate change and other issues that need to be talked about.” . I fully realize my responsibility, and I have thought about this issue. But that doesn’t change who I am.”

Perhaps the most important reason for Billie Eilish’s “ascension to the throne” is her artistic talent and mature thinking. Thanks to her acumen in blending many musical genres as well as topics related to youth such as suicide, drug abuse and depression, her musical products are always loved by fans as well as people. many music critics applauded.

Not only successful at the 62nd Grammy Awards, Billie Eilish will soon perform on stage at the 2020 Oscars on February 9. Not only that, she is also the youngest artist to compose the theme song of the latest 007 spy movie: No Time To Die .
