    I'm 70 and a long ago hockey player - and the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ARE ON - I chose listening to this oover over watching the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes [ I will get to that] - as I am a Billie super-admirer [as an aside, Triple j 16 yr. old Billie's cover of Michael Jackson's 'Bad' is classic , it's awesome - try to invite, encourage, entice, her into doing another cover of someone in 2025 for "Like A Version"] - For me as someone who truly treasures Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, S&G, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven - I truly believe, Billie is not just another pop artist, she is a hapax phenomenon - a generational artiste guided by a muse who blesses all sorts of people. Thank you for the interview Lucy Smith and Billie Eilish.

We have similar voices in the sense that they are softer and melodic, and I've also doubted my talent because I can't belt or do impressive runs that well. Thats the main reason I became a fan in the first place. I love the relatability and I love that she's creating what she wants. This album was not my favorite, but I still recognize the growth in her voice and style of creation, and I love that she created something she can appreciate and share with her supporters 🥹💞

    EASILY one of the best pop music albums I've ever heard. Billie's authenticity, as always, destroys me on every track.

    I like Billie's music a lot, but I love her and Finneas's musicality and craft more, and this interview - particularly 10:10 and on - is a great example of why. She's really maturing in her craft, and this album is really really good.

    3:29 As someone who is also a big fan of dance music. I appreciated every little synth I heard & every tempo change. 2 of the biggest were CHIHIRO & the 2nd part of L’AMOUR DE MA VIE
