You can call the American Billie Eilish a sensation. This lady is only 17 years old when her debut When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? comes true. Before that she has already built up a gigantic fan base. This pop star does things just that little bit differently and therefore catches the eye and ear. She does not smile in photos and usually appears in striking outfits. She wrote the songs on
… her debut with her brother and often take on dark forms. This is the result of her 'night terrors', which she took as a source of inspiration for her music. Because of this, there always seems to be some kind of danger hanging over her songs, which deal with topics like disrupted relationships. Here and there the singer throws in a sweet lullaby, but in general there is always a heavy bass line in her electropop. Eilish sings over it in her whisper, which is sometimes a strange sensation in contrast to the music. The twist she brings to her music creates a cross but stimulating effect. She delivers a convincing debut here. (JvQ)more
