With Billie Eilish's WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? (Darkroom/Interscope) dropping in just a few hours, we urge you to play catch-up on her mind-altering visuals. Billie's brand is beyond big, thanks to a unique vision that's highlighted by daring fashion, authentic and accessible socials and, of course, trippy-ass music videos. Scroll below to watch, freak out, repeat.
The videos here are presented in chronological order, although they do not represent her entire collection. Head to her YouTube for the almost-whole smorgasbord. We say almost because the latest visual for "you should see me in a crown"—an anime-style wild ride directed by Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami—is an Apple Music exclusive; we included the teaser for that one at the end, though. And, by the way, it's worth noting that the white-hot newcomer's YouTube page boasts a total count higher than 1.5b views.
Anywho, go on and dig in. Bon appétit, buddy.
Things all starts out pretty simply with the clip for breakout track, "ocean eyes." Sure is haunting (and hypnotizing) though...
Can Billie dodge the cops? Follow her down desert roads in "bellyache." Too bad the getaway car is a little red wagon...
An automotive burning at the stake. Need we say more? You just can't help but "watch" on...
Billie gets reflective in the "idontwannabeyouanymore" vertical vid, but does her reflection get her? If you've ever sang and danced—or had a mini meltdown—in front of your bedroom mirror, you'll probably relate to this one...
And then there was the "lovely" project with Khalid. Talk about feeling like you're trapped in a glass case of emotion. Just wait 'til the floodgates open...
FUCKIN' SPIDERS, MAN! The "you should see me in a crown" vertical vid will make your skin crawl, perhaps literally...
If your soul's turned black, what color are the tears you shed? Find out with "when the party's over"...
Now, this is just some straight-up horror movie shit. But would you really expect any less from a song called "bury a friend"?
And as promised, here's that little Murakami fix...
NOW WHAT?
We have no fucking idea.
COUNTRY'S NEWEST DISRUPTOR
Three chords and some truth you may not be ready for.
AI IS ALREADY EATING YOUR LUNCH
The kids can tell the difference... for now.
WHO'S BUYING THE DRINKS?
That's what we'd like to know.
