Billie Eilish performed the hat trick perfectly. Praised since her first album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” (12 million worldwide sales, six Grammy Awards), the young American star has been driving the meters of streaming platforms since the release of her third album “Hit Me Hard and Soft” last May. Entering number one in the Top in France, this superb musical fresco is still present in the top 10 best sellers and has already sold 111,000 copies – the 7th performance of the year. If Billie Eilish exploited the singles “Lunch” and “Chihiro”, it is another song that finds favor in the eyes of listeners: “Birds of a Feather”.

“The highest mark I have ever achieved”
Without promotion, the song, as magnificent as it is soaring, settled in August at the top of the world ranking of the most popular titles supervised by Billboard. Its enormous popularity on Spotify, where it has just exceeded 1.1 billion plays (!), motivated Billie Eilish to make it the new extract from “Hit Me Hard and Soft”. She even performed her delicate ballad live in front of hundreds of millions of viewers during the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics! Produced by his brother Finneas, the song notably became viral for the dizzying vocal surges that run through the end of the composition. “ This is the highest point I have ever reached in my life. I was alone in the dark. It was a dark time and I was like, “I’m going to make it.” I recorded that and moved on. And then I said to myself: “I got this note. I’m going to get the highest one.” And this is a girl who couldn’t sing with her diaphragm until she was literally 18! I physically couldn’t do it. And I’m so proud of it. I remember coming home and screaming, “Mom! Listen!” » says Billie Eilish on Apple Music.

For the video for “Birds of a Feather”, Billie Eilish decided to place her cameras in… offices. In this cold and dehumanized setting, the popstar falls in love with a person to whom she constantly sends, through the eye of the camera, smiles and winks. It is then that an invisible force shifts the video into a strange space between romantic comedy and horror film… A song that she will undoubtedly perform on October 19 during her scheduled participation in the famous American show ” Saturday Night Live.” Notice to die-hard fans, Billie Eilish will perform for two evenings at the Accor Arena in Paris in June 2025, for a show which will be offered… on the central stage!
