Photograph: ICON (Darkroom/Interscope) On perhaps the most anticipated album of 2021, Eilish uses subdued yet powerful songwriting to consider how fame has seeped into every corner of her life Thu 29 Jul 2021 19.01 EDT âIâm getting older,â sings Billie Eilish, whoâs 19, on Happier Than Everâs opening track. âIâve got more on my shouldersâ, she adds, which is certainly true. Her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? wasnât just a huge global hit, but an album that significantly altered mainstream pop music. Two years on, streaming services are clotted with bedroom-bound, teenage singer-songwriters dolefully depicting their lives: anticipation for what the genuine article does next is understandably running very high.
