HIT MAKER:
BILLIE EILISH
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, the rapturously received new album from Darkroom/Interscope’s Billie Eilish, finds the 22-year-old star charting new musical and thematic territory. With just 10 deftly constructed songs, the set represents a marked contrast to the relentless push of “content” as Billie and brother-collaborator FINNEAS strike a blow for the album as art. Its cohesion and daring testify to Eilish’s patient development by John Janick and the rest of her team. Though the last thing she wanted to be HIT with was HITS.
