when im away from you im happier than ever

And I wish I would take my own advice in that realm of just like, it doesn't matter. I think that you just have to keep going and not not be scared of living, I guess. It's like, if you're at the dentist getting your wisdom teeth done, and they give you anesthesia and then you say to yourself, 'I'm not going to fall asleep, I'm not going to fall asleep,' you can't not fall asleep. I think that there's not much you can do. What have you learned about coping with that glare, though? I mean, what do you do to remain you?

I think it's just thoughts coming from a place of fury and unfairness and just feeling angry at the world and society, I guess. let alone being famous and having a million people look at you constantly. It's hard enough to be a young woman not in the public eye, and just have lots of public eyes looking at you. I think it was just a moment of being really pissed off as a young woman in the public eye: You know, it's infuriating. You can kind of understand it by just listening, I would say.

But after a career debut like few others, Eilish's style is evolving: new sounds (including a detour into bossa nova-inspired grooves), a new visual toolkit and lyrics shaped by experiences as a very young woman on a worldwide stage.Įilish spoke with NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro about where Happier than Ever finds her and her outlook on life, fame and performance. Like its predecessor, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, it's a collaboration with her brother and producer, Finneas O'Connell. Her second full-length album, Happier than Ever, is out now. She's won seven Grammys over two consecutive years, run circles around her peers on the Billboard Hot 100 and become a figure of discussion and scrutiny, some of it perhaps a little too familiar. Billie Eilish's second album, Happier than Ever, is out now.īillie Eilish has a message for the world: ' I'm not your friend / Or anything, damn / You think that you're the man / I think, therefore, I am.' Still just 19, the pop supernova has spent the past few years living a very public life.
