Nandi Bushell Returns to the Drums for Version of Billie Eilish’s ‘Happier Than Ever’
Everyone’s favorite 11-year-old prodigy, Nandi Bushell, is back again with a brand new version of Billie Eilish‘s “Happier Than Ever.” Rather than a standard cover as she’s done with the Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys, Linkin Park, Pixies, and a ton of other bands, Bushell added her own flair (and a giant solo) on the drums for the title track from Eilish’s July release. “I WILL LOVE BILLIE & FINNEAS FOREVER MORE!!!” Bushell exclaimed in the caption of her Instagram post for the video. Check it out below. Of course, Eilish isn’t the first person that Bushell has taken to the drums for. Earlier this year, she knocked out Slipknot‘s “Duality” on drums, and the Foo Fighters even brought her onstage during their concert at the Forum in Los Angeles (which made our list of best concerts of t...

Billie Eilish Copes With Heartbreak In New ‘Male Fantasy’ Video
Directed and edited by Eilish herself, the video is an all-too-exact portrayal of what someone is up to after a heartbreak—sitting on the bathroom floor, eating alone, and uncomfortably rolling around in bed. The video comes ahead of the Grammy-winning artist’s appearance on Saturday Night Live, where she will host and perform on the show’s second-to-last episode of the year on December 11.

The episode of Sesame Street featuring Eilish will air Thursday, June 16 next year, so the above video (for you Sesame Street fans out there) is the be...

Apparently Billie Eilish Loves Dubstep—And Skrillex
Have you ever wondered what a dubstep song from Billie Eilish would sound like? Neither have we. But it’s now top-of-mind thanks to a new interview with The New Yorker, who chatted with Eilish and her brother FINNEAS, a prolific music producer and the mastermind behind the vast majority of her recordings. The Grammy-winning siblings recently took the virtual stage at the The New Yorker Festival, which featured discussions and performances by some of the most prominent names in music, literature, politics, film, art, and pop culture. And of all the things to analyze at such a prestigious summit, Eilish and FINNEAS chose dubstep. Eilish is apparently a fan of Skrillex and his old-school sound, which longtime diehards have been clamoring for as he continues to produce pop-ori...

On Happier Than Ever, Billie Eilish Brilliantly Tackles the Dark Side of Fame
“Last year, when I was at my lowest point during the tour in Europe, I was worried I was going to have a breakdown and shave my head,” Billie Eilish confessed in a 2020 Vogue cover story. The price of Eilish’s hard-won path to pop stardom has not been lost on her. It’s long hovered in the shadows of her work, but Happier Than Ever confronts the shift in her celebrity status head-on and once again pushes sonic boundaries. When Eilish released her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? in 2019, it altered the face of mainstream pop with its authenticity and transparency, catapulting Eilish to global success. It also irrevocably changed her relationship with fame forever. On Happier Than Ever, Eilish grapples with the paradox of celebrity culture — the realization of her dreams ...
Billie Eilish Releases New Single and Video for ‘NDA’ Ahead of Happier Than Ever Release
Ahead of the release of her sophomore album, Happier Than Ever, on July 30 (via Darkroom/Interscope Records), Billie Eilish just dropped “NDA,” a brand new single complete with a self-directed video. The track is the latest tune from Happier Than Ever (and it also happens to fall directly after the first single, “Your Power,” on the album itself) and begins to show the overall feel of the album as well. The high-octane video features dozens of stunt drivers racing cars around Eilish, which is an appropriate visual for the decidedly dark 13th track on the album. Check out the video below. [embedded content] In addition to the new album, Eilish is currently preparing for her sold-out world tour of the same name and a variety of festival headlining gigs. She also starred in a docume...

Following the resurfacing of a short TikTok compilation of old clips of Billie Eilish lip-syncing a racial slur from Tyler, The Creator’s “Fish” and speaking gibberish that was interpreted as “mocking Asians,” Eilish expressed remorse for her past actions…from when she was 13. In an apology in an Instagram story, the Grammy-winning pop artist wrote she “didn’t know” the mouthed word “was a derogatory term used against members of the asian community” at the time of the recordings when she was “13 or 14.” In response to the “mocking Asians” claim, she says “that edited clip is me speaking in a silly gibberish made up voice… something i started doing as a kid and have done my whole life when talking to my pets, friends, and family. it is absolute gibberish and just me goofing around, and is i...
