To get old (“Getting older”). The first track of the new album says the obvious: time flies, including on the planet Eilish. It is hard to imagine the singer, a phenomenon even before her twenties, in the grip of years, but it would be forgetting that the release of When we fall asleep, where do we go, the Bad Guy explosion, the pop revolution in the broad sense, it all goes back two and a half years. Since then, there has been an XXL tour, ten Grammy Awards, billions (!) Of Spotify streams, a global pandemic – in other words worlds.
A first glance at the cover of the new album confirms it: we have entered a new Billie-era. Bare shoulders and cashmere cardigan, gaze lost in the vague under her new platinum blonde bangs, she poses, half baroque madonna half star of fifties.
