No Singles on Billie Eilish’s Raunchy, Rocking New Album of Just 10 Tracks, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” (Listen)

Share

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft is notable for many things including this: not so much whisper singing.

Billie, 22, is starting to belt it out. The album is raunchy, rocking, and resplendent, but it’s also just a very slim 10 tracks.

Eilish said there were no singles being released from “Hit Me,” and now we see why. Off the bat, this is not a Top 40 friendly collection.

The pop starlet is finally giving her side of the story on the issues of love and sex. It may surprise some fans. And the fans’ mothers.

“Hit Me” is brave, and could only be done by a singer whose fame is unassailable at this point. Two Oscars, many Grammys? She can sing about whatever she wants!
