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 overly awkward introvert who favours 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 'The Office' in '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."
