"Hit Me Hard & Soft" - Billie Eilish
(All rights to Darkroom/Interscope Records)
A tranquil opening about finding oneself (relating to love); "and the internet is hungry for the meanest kind of funny".
2) Lunch
An upbeat, fun and catchy track. We find Billie being playful with her writing; "she's the headlights I'm the deer".
3) Chihiro
There is a nice beat, but I would like a bit more variance.
4) Birds Of A Feather
With a nice moving beat, this is about the early stages of a flourishing relationship; "but if it's forever, it's even better".
5) Wildflower
With an acoustic intro, the lyrics and vocals really flow together.
6) The Greatest
The vocals are powerful and the instrumentals keep it from dragging. There is a strong closing.
7) L'Amour De Ma Vie
This has a different vibe, but it's a bit 1-note backing wise before there's a switch-up. I wish the track felt more like the back half.
8) The Diner
This has a nice flow, with a French pop kind of vibe.
9) Bittersuite
With an electronic feel this has another change up halfway in; "have you underneath all of my beliefs".
10) Blue
This cleverly threads together the album; " I try to live in black and white but I'm so blue". She's rather lyrically savage on this closing track.
This is a very strong album. As I mentioned on "Blue", ultimately each track has a cohesive feel to it, flowing together in the end. I can't wait to see what she does next. (87.9)
