Who would dare refuse a collaboration with Billie Eilish?
Today, no one.
Katy Perry did it in 2016. At the time, almost no one knew Billie, who was only 15 years old.
Katy Perry's name is on everyone's lips.
One of his collaborators offered him to work with a
"new artist"
, unknown to the general public.
During a concert, Katy Perry told the anecdote to her fans:
"It was a song called
Ocean Eyes,
sung by a blonde girl, and I thought to myself 'well, boring'"
.
But it is without knowing that the song was going to go around the world.
And yes,
"big mistake"...

Billie Eilish, she was only at the beginning of a promising career.
The song, written by his brother Finneas O'Connell, is published on SoundCloud.
Very quickly, she won over listeners and allowed the young singer to sign a contract with the Darkroom label.
Since then, Billie has not ceased to shine.
His debut album,
When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
, released in 2019, met with worldwide success and won the Award for best album of the year.
A year later, for the James Bond trailer, she performed
No Time To Die
and received the Award for Best Original Song.
In 2021, director RJ Cutler decides to tell his story, on tour and at home, in a documentary called
Billie Eilish: The World'
, streaming on Apple TV+.
The same year, the singer released her second album,
Happier Than Ever
, confirming her gift for music.

Katy Perry, crowned with success since the beginning of the 2000s, is struggling for her part to find a new breath.
In 2017, she released her fifth studio album,
Witness
, but it did not arouse the same enthusiasm as the previous ones.
Her latest album,
Smile
climbed to fifth place on the Billboard weekly chart when it was released in 2020. A fairly “blah” result for the princess of pop.
