Two ladies just chatting, Billie playing with her hair this whole time. HAVE to love this vibe.
shout out to the interview, she was very attentive and you could tell Billie felt comfortable and was active in the conversation. Excited to hear the album!
I'm 70 and a long ago hockey player - and the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ARE ON - I chose listening to this oover over watching the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes [ I will get to that] - as I am a Billie super-admirer [as an aside, Triple j 16 yr. old Billie's cover of Michael Jackson's 'Bad' is classic , it's awesome - try to invite, encourage, entice, her into doing another cover of someone in 2025 for "Like A Version"] - For me as someone who truly treasures Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, S&G, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven - I truly believe, Billie is not just another pop artist, she is a hapax phenomenon - a generational artiste guided by a muse who blesses all sorts of people. Thank you for the interview Lucy Smith and Billie Eilish.

I’ve often thought Billie’s voice is old Hollywood-esque so it makes total sense she sees her voice as a jazzy voice! Soooo smooth I absolutely love it
Stop because The diner & Chihiro are literally restoring my soul
You guys Billie&Finneas are literally one of the truest musicians and incredibly talented, what did we do to deserve this crazyy good album!!!! Love you both sm

Great interviewer! Asking REAL questions fans want to hear about the process
10:58 L’AMOUR DE MA VIE is vocally my favorite too, love all the beautiful runs & falsetto moments
I’m very glad to hear she’s trying to face her mental health issues, and get up & out. She went through such a deep depression over the last year. Remember, if you are struggling REACH OUT….
The fact she put out her heart with this and said, this is how I feel and who I am, period. This album is so different from everything she's done The lyrics and production Her and finneas? Magic together
LUNCH and WILDFLOWER looping in my brain even when they’re not on
Can't beat a soulful woman. Her voice is gorgeous.
I love this album from beginning to end. I love the hints of synthwave in various songs.
Every album she does is so amazing in their own ways. This new album is exactly what I needed at this point in time, it’s almost like she knew that 🫣😆 anyway, I will always support this lady no matter what!! She could drop a beat with her just making noises and I’d eat it tf up. Her voice is so magical.
nooo but the hoops and high pony is giving YOUNG billie😍
girl really gave us the album of the century

Billie is such a genuine person, it‘s so beautiful to see this interview after hearing the album! 😍😍
i absolutely love how vunerable this album is and how you can tell she didn't make it for others but herself
just listened to the album live on triple j, along with this interview and im absolutely mindblown by billie and fineas' talent. crazy how they can work with different styles of music, i mean, this one is completely different from the previous two albums, and they're all masterpieces
Billie and Finneas being the best thing for music this generation
this album had me jumping up and down on my bed while crying. at 1am. waking up my parents. BUT WORTH IT

It's so crazy to me how much I relate to billie in her journey as a singer. We have similar voices in the sense that they are softer and melodic, and I've also doubted my talent because I can't belt or do impressive runs that well. Thats the main reason I became a fan in the first place. I love the relatability and I love that she's creating what she wants. This album was not my favorite, but I still recognize the growth in her voice and style of creation, and I love that she created something she can appreciate and share with her supporters 🥹💞
They’re so naturally gifted and in tune with music that as long as they are making tracks that they love, they can’t go wrong.
Incredible interview!!! Thanks triple J x
OMD THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZNG I CAN'T
Super interview, thanks Lucy! The album is a complete stunner, I can't even. Brilliant, beautiful Billie xoxox
The interviewer had such great questions, I was getting hyped on every single of them, just cause how passionate she sound about then and how they made Billie react Kuddos to her!!!!
We need a jazz album pleease
Realest Billie interview I’ve seen so far
I can't stop listening...to this masterpiece....it's....beyond spectacular.... Thank you Billie and Finneas... ❤
Also LOVED hearing her talk about jazz. I always hear her as a jazz singer who transcends genre.
The greatest is the greatest on this album, my jaw was slack the whole way through
the interviewer is soo talented
Wow Im 50 not your average billie fan breath control is what I love the most about her singing and she does remind me of a jazz singer and also 30s singing an absolute masterpiece together they make amazing music I hope that billie doing more production doesn't split them (musically) and they bump heads being siblings they are the closest dna even more than their parents I know I have always felt closer to my sister than anyone both my sisters live 200klms away from me but we still hang out together when I am in town After the barbie single I thought it was their best I don't have a favourite one yet of the new album yet I just need to listen to it more They are still young and what's mind blowing is their best might still have to come

Great album. Every song
She reminds me sm of her younger days in this interview
I love her sm ❤❤❤ i could listen to her 24/7
This album is such a different vibe and so cool ! Like she found her sweet spot in music! She and Finneas make such cool music magic together!!
Fabulous interview. Great Australian professional with a true talent. Huge thnx❤as mentioned the future of music and analysis is secure. Thumbs up for talented professional women
Makes so much sense to hear her say she loves Jazz because I definitely see the influence! I love HMHAS ❤
3:29 As someone who is also a big fan of dance music. I appreciated every little synth I heard & every tempo change. 2 of the biggest were CHIHIRO & the 2nd part of L’AMOUR DE MA VIE
I like Billie's music a lot, but I love her and Finneas's musicality and craft more, and this interview - particularly 10:10 and on - is a great example of why. She's really maturing in her craft, and this album is really really good.
Love the album its amazing. Such a mixed bag of songs.
What a fantastic interview!

1:59 OMG HER VOICE😭🫵
billie has been a big inspo from this video. i’m a producer and rapper myself, and i’m going through the same shit, tryna put out what they want when it should be what i want. love the fact she listens to her music while on journeys, i tend to feel the emotions of the song the most like that (driving, walkn round ect) listening to my beats on trains are my fav to do, makes me feel like i can run away
