At just 19 years old, Billie Eilish has just released her second album,
Happier Than Ever
, around the world
.
After his successful debut album, with which he surprised in 2019,
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
, Billie rose to fame, then won a Grammy award for best album.
Some of her songs from that first album, like
Bad Guy
, became a hit, with a dark tone and out of the ordinary for a 17-year-old singer.
In this new album, apparently, it goes the other way as already announced from the title
Happier Than Ever (Happier than ever
).
However, what does remain is the creative partnership with his brother
Finneas
, who was also a fundamental part of his first musical project.

Happier than ever
Along these lines,
even his image has changed
in this short period of time.
She is no longer seen with hair dyed green with black roots and XXL size clothes, now the singer completely changed the look and opted for a more sensual and romantic style, with platinum hair.
According to those who have listened to his new album,
Happier Than Ever
has much of an emotional ballad that refers to some themes outside of his first album, such as the one he released in 2019, alone,
Everything I wanted
, or the song
You are going to forget
which he recorded with the Spanish Rosalía.
Now Billie Eilish enters other artistic variants.
The new album has
16 songs
and, among other things, its lyrics refer to a more existential feeling like when he sings,
I have much more on my shoulders
.

The voice that keeps
What has not changed is her unique, personal voice, which was the one that managed to attract the attention of millions around the world when she was just a teenager.
On the first track on the album, Billie sings
Getting Older
, and talks about her sudden fame.
"
I'm getting older, I think I'm fine / I wish someone had told me I would do this on my own / There are reasons I'm grateful for, there are many I'm grateful for / But it's different when a stranger is always waiting at your door / Which is ironic because strangers seem to love me more than anyone / ... Too bad they're usually upset,
"the lyrics say.
The whispering style that was installed as one of the characteristics
of his mode, is maintained in this new album, with a more jazzy sound than pop, in which there are also melodies that refer to bossa nova and an electronic sound.
Among the new songs Eilish surprises with sounds of rabid dogs from
I Didn't Change My Number
, and another more lysergic as in
Oxytocin.
In the song that gives the album its name,
Happier Than Ever
, Billie unloads her disappointment towards her ex-boyfriend whose breakup was not on the best terms.
It goes no further.

This year has been very productive for the singer, since her single
Your Power
reached more than 150 million views in the first two weeks of its release.
Additionally, in February, his documentary,
The World's A Little Blurry
, released on Apple TV + received critical acclaim around the world.
She also published a book
Billie Eilish
, which is a visual narrative journey through her life, where she presents hundreds of never-before-seen photos with a personal glimpse of her childhood, her life on the road, among other things.
But they are not just awards, recognitions and millions in his life.
The singer has also spoken publicly about several painful situations that she goes through, since she suffers from Tourette syndrome and depression.
