专辑简介:
年仅17岁即成为全球最耀眼的流量偶像,唱作新天后Billie Eilish终于发布了她的个人首张录音室专辑《WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?》
Billie Eilish迅速成为全球巨星可谓是现象级的,这样的成就迄今止也是无与伦比的。自从首发单曲“Ocean Eyes”问世以来,Billie已悄然步入了流行乐坛的前沿。归功于全球越来越多的忠实乐迷,她2017年发行的首张EP《Don't Smile at Me》至今一年半的时间过去了,却仍然在Billboard Hot 200专辑榜占据一席之地,并且在全球狂揽50亿试听总量。她的巡演更是在全球热卖到屡屡售罄。
专辑第三支单曲”bury a friend”在专辑中如导火线一般点燃整张专辑的灵感呈现,包括视觉部分以及传达的概念。从隐藏在内心的魔性为视角,将自我视为最大的精神敌人因产生的不同心态。整张专辑听似基调冷暗,而百变的合成器与创新的编曲勾勒了复杂而深入直接的内心世界,它源自于17岁青春时期对自我,朋友以及成长心路的感悟。从创作到制作,Billie与哥哥Finneas携手共同打造并为这张专辑付诸了大量心血。2018年的大部分时间,两人都是在工作的途中写歌,之后他们又花费了许多日日夜夜在家中Finneas的卧室里完成所有歌曲的录制。
首支单曲“you should see me in a crown”在去年7月发行,强烈的节奏感与意想不到的编曲特色撬动听众每根神经。这首歌一经发行即在加拿大拿到金唱片销量认证。随后揭晓的第二支单曲“when the party‘s over”一跃赶超前绩,创下加拿大,澳大利亚,新西兰,瑞典四国白金,美国金唱片佳绩。Billie在专辑中含糊低喃的唱腔不仅不会让人在聆听中有丝毫的疲倦感,反而在收放自如的谱曲与情绪中带来更多新鲜感和意料之外的惊喜。
14岁首发第一支单曲,16岁着手打造个人首张代表作,17岁向全球乐迷交付处女作,备受期待的Billie Eilish《WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?》正式上线。
WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is the debut studio album by American singer Billie Eilish and was released on March 29, 2019.
Beginning with the haunting alt-pop smash “Ocean Eyes” in 2016, Billie Eilish made it clear she was a new kind of pop star—an overtly awkward introvert who favors chilling melodies, moody beats, creepy videos, and a teasing crudeness à la Tyler, The Creator. Now 17, the Los Angeles native—who was homeschooled along with her brother and co-writer, Finneas O’Connell—presents her much-anticipated debut album, a melancholy investigation of all the dark and mysterious spaces that linger in the back of our minds. Sinister dance beats unfold into chattering dialogue from The Office on “my strange addiction,” and whispering vocals are laid over deliberately blown-out bass on “xanny.” “There are a lot of firsts,” says Finneas. “Not firsts like ‘Here’s the first song we made with this kind of beat,’ but firsts like Billie saying, ‘I feel in love for the first time.’ You have a million chances to make an album you're proud of, but to write the song about falling in love for the first time? You only get one shot at that.”
Billie, who is both beleaguered and fascinated by night terrors and sleep paralysis, has a complicated relationship with her subconscious. “I’m the monster under the bed, I’m my own worst enemy,” she told Beats 1 host Zane Lowe during an interview in Paris. “It’s not that the whole album is a bad dream, it’s just…surreal.” With an endearingly off-kilter mix of teen angst and experimentalism, Billie Eilish is really the perfect star for 2019—and here is where her and Finneas' heads are at as they prepare for the next phase of her plan for pop domination. “This is my child,” she says, “and you get to hold it while it throws up on you.”
Figuring out her dreams:
Billie: “Every song on the album is something that happens when you’re asleep—sleep paralysis, night terrors, nightmares, lucid dreams. All things that don't have an explanation. Absolutely nobody knows. I've always had really bad night terrors and sleep paralysis, and all my dreams are lucid, so I can control them—I know that I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming. Sometimes the thing from my dream happens the next day and it's so weird. The album isn’t me saying, 'I dreamed that'—it’s the feeling.”
Getting out of her own head:
Billie: “There's a lot of lying on purpose. And it's not like how rappers lie in their music because they think it sounds dope. It's more like making a character out of yourself. I wrote the song '8' from the perspective of somebody who I hurt. When people hear that song, they're like, 'Oh, poor baby Billie, she's so hurt.' But really I was just a dickhead for a minute and the only way I could deal with it was to stop and put myself in that person's place.”
Being a teen nihilist role model:
Billie: “I love meeting these kids, they just don't give a f**k. And they say they don't give a f**k because of me, which is a feeling I can't even describe. But it's not like they don't give a f**k about people or love or taking care of yourself. It's that you don't have to fit into anything, because we all die, eventually. No one's going to remember you one day—it could be hundreds of years or it could be one year, it doesn't matter—but anything you do, and anything anyone does to you, won't matter one day. So it's like, why the f**k try to be something you're not?”
Embracing sadness:
Billie: “Depression has sort of controlled everything in my life. My whole life I’ve always been a melancholy person. That’s my default.”
Finneas: “There are moments of profound joy, and Billie and I share a lot of them, but when our motor’s off, it’s like we’re rolling downhill. But I’m so proud that we haven’t shied away from songs about self-loathing, insecurity, and frustration. Because we feel that way, for sure. When you’ve supplied empathy for people, I think you’ve achieved something in music.”
Staying present:
Billie: “I have to just sit back and actually look at what's going on. Our show in Stockholm was one of the most peak life experiences we've had. I stood onstage and just looked at the crowd—they were just screaming and they didn’t stop—and told them, 'I used to sit in my living room and cry because I wanted to do this.' I never thought in a thousand years this s**t would happen. We’ve really been choking up at every show.”
Finneas: “Every show feels like the final show. They feel like a farewell tour. And in a weird way it kind of is, because, although it's the birth of the album, it’s the end of the episode.”
