BILLIE EILLISH pt. 1

  Billie Ellish, American singer and songwriter.
      Young but artistically expressive. She started writing her songs since she was eleven. As someone who was older than her, I tried to compare and recall what I had done when I was in eleven years old and I figured out, during that age, I barely knew anything about feelings, disappointment and depression. Indeed, kids these days are amazing and way advanced. Perhaps the talents run in the veins as she was born to a family of actors and musicians.Her parents are actress-musician-screenwriter Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell (Bain, 2017). 

So here's a little not to much facts about her since less is more...

   Speaking about her music, since I first discovered her song, which entitled 'idontwannabeyouanymore', I remembered it was the first song of her that I've ever known which had left quite a prominent impact on me despite barely knew any of the lyrics . It was such a strong yet a weak song, which had left me in a depression state due to the lyrics that contain so much self-rejection. The title itself, is written in a full lowercase characters without punctuation marks due to the stressing content of the song which  is meant to dismissed the singer identity and represent self-denial of the persona.

This track, which is hard-hitting, downcast, wistful, and an all round slower jam than previous cuts "COPYCAT" and "watch," still slices straight down to the bone somehow since it has a vocal vulnerability and innocence that wouldn't sound out of place in Tarantino's Kill Bill (Bartlet, 2017).

"The juxtaposition of innocent-sounding vocals with darker subject matter, a 3/4 time signature, soaring soprano harmonies and vocal layering – it’s all here,"
                                                                                           (Ben, 2017).

My second top favorite song of her that I like is Bellyache.
According to the singer herself, one of the line in the song which is —'I thought that I'd feel better, but now I gotta bellyache'—is about how you kinda know that you're the worst but you don't care. It's about a psychopath who regrets being a psychopath but doesn't really care (Barlow, 2017).
Sins of a Psychopath: the runaway pose of a killer who just murdered her own friends in the video

 When I first listened to this song, there was this eerie feeling that traveled down my spine as I imagined the persona of this song is a killer who killed her friends for money and feeling heartless about the crime she committed and after I searched for the song's description I was confirmed- indeed, it was really a song about killing people. If I were to describe the genre of the song, I would probably say it sounds much like acoustic-led, Latin-influenced macabre tale with repetitive chorus of light r&b beats.
