Billie Eilish is not your typical teen popstar. She was never a child actor who used their fame to launch a music career. She doesn't produce upbeat dance tracks or songs that are easy to sing along to. She doesn't wear tiny dresses or perfect makeup. She does things her own way, and if no one likes it, then so what! But people do like the way she does things. Her songs have been listened to millions of times online. She has handfuls of major music awards. And her first full-length album, When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, broke several records in its first week of release.
Eilish was just 14 when she uploaded her song "Ocean Eyes" to the Internet. Against her expectations, the next morning, the song had gone viral. Soon after, she was offered a record deal and began releasing hit after hit. In 2019, she released her first album, which became one of the year's most successful records and included elements of pop, electronic music, jazz, dance, R&B, and hip hop. Her songs also avoid common pop themes, such as breaking up and making up. Instead, her lyrics explore serious themes such as drug addiction, loneliness, and mental health. While most popstars signed to major record labels work with teams of songwriters and producers, Eilish almost always works with her older brother, Finneas. Their brother-sister connection and shared musical tastes allow them to create songs that are distinctively their own and uniquely suited to Eilish's soft, sad singing voice. As a result, the music they create together stands out strongly against the same old sounds of modern day pop. By playing by her own rules, Eilish is sure to have an interesting and longlasting musical career. And many of us can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
怪奇比莉並非典型的青少年流行樂明星。她不是以童星演員起家，再以童星名氣展開音樂事業。她不製作輕快舞曲或琅琅上口的歌曲。她不穿迷你裙或頂著完美妝容。她照自己的方式做事，如果沒人喜歡，那又怎樣！但大眾的確喜歡她的作風。她的歌曲在網上的收聽率已達上百萬次。她榮獲無數重大音樂獎項。而她的首張完整專輯《當我們睡了，怪事發生了》，發行第一週即打破不少紀錄。 怪奇比莉14 歲時就將自己的歌曲《湛藍眼眸》上傳網路。這首歌到隔天早上已經被瘋傳，超乎了她的預期。不久後，有人主動向她提出唱片合約，她也開始陸續推出暢銷單曲。2019 年，她發行首張專輯，隨即成為年度最為成功的唱片之一，網羅了流行樂、電子樂、爵士、舞曲、節奏藍調和嘻哈樂等元素。她的歌曲亦避開了常見的流行主題，例如分手與復合的內容。她的歌詞反而是探討毒品上癮、孤寂與心理健康等嚴肅主題。 雖然與大唱片公司簽約的多數流行樂明星，會與詞曲創作人和製作人團隊合作，但怪奇比莉幾乎只和哥哥菲尼亞斯共事。他們兄妹間的深厚情感與共同的音樂品味，讓他們創作出獨具一格、適合怪奇比莉柔和、悲傷獨特嗓音的作品。因此，他們共同創作的音樂，能夠在千篇一律的現代流行樂中，強勢脫穎而出。 怪奇比莉照著自己的行事規則，絕對能擁有趣味十足又長久的音樂事業──很多人均迫不及待， 盼著她下一次會推出什麼樣的創作！ |
