This song also leads into the title track, “ Happier Than Ever ,” which starts with a single, minimalistic guitar instrumental before giving way to a cacophony of guitars as the song progresses.Įilish directs her righteous fury towards her abuser, and it is wildly satisfying. “ Therefore I Am ” sees Eilish refute the notion of people using her name for clout and an apparent disregard for the world’s perception of her. This harshness makes it confusing that she follows this song up with “ NDA ,” whose instrumentals sound like they came from an underground level in a “Super Mario Brothers.” It is a somewhat jarring contrast sonically. Amidst the #MeToo movement, it hits incredibly close to home for many. A raw, emotional track with a stripped-back guitar instrumental in which Eilish sings about an abusive relationship is incredibly heartbreaking. “ Your Power ” is easily one of the hardest-hitting pop tracks of the year. The contrast is evident, and while the song sticks out relative to the rest of the project, Eilish’s high-pitched delivery alongside the hard-hitting bassline justifies its existence. “We had all these songs, and I was like, the only thing we’re missing is a song that’s going to be insane live,” said Eilish, about “ Oxytocin. “ Oxytocin ” is a stylistic return to the hard-hitting, industrial-influenced bangers of her debut album. It is the antithesis of “Getting Older” and works well in the album’s context. In contrast to most of the album,”my future” is an idealistic song in which Eilish glides effortlessly over a minimalistic drum beat to address her hope for her future. A brief reprieve from the cynicism comes in the song “ my future. The track “ Billie Bossa Nova ” sees Eilish sing about needing her desire for privacy with the line “Some information’s not for sharing,” referencing her attempt to hide her relationships.Įilish is no stranger to her private life being out in the open, with her relationship with Matthew Tyler Vorce making the news for months after the two were spotted together. The cynical side of fame is a recurring motif of the album. In contrast to her debut album’s opening track, “ bad guy“, her sophomore album opens with “ Getting Older ,” a low-key and soft song in which Eilish cynically addresses her previous passion getting turned into a job. Their signature style blends electropop and hip-hop influences, complemented by introspective lyrics. While “Happier Than Ever” does tackle a much more intimate subject matter than her debut album, it suffers in terms of cohesion as a result.Įilish and her brother Finnea s are no strangers to pushing the boundaries of mainstream pop. ” Eilish knows the struggles of being thrust into stardom before hitting their 20s better than most.Īcross the album’s 56-minute runtime, Eilish comes to terms with every part of her newfound fame, both good and bad. That is the theme of Billie Eilish’s sophomore album, “ Happier Than Ever.
