I have to say that the European and American music scene in 2024 is a little too lively.
In April alone, many well-known celebrities have handed over or are about to hand over their new music works.
And when it comes to the upcoming May, the most important thing to miss is the return plan of the popular girl Billie Eilish.
As one of the most high-profile and popular newcomers in the European and American music scene in recent years, Bili can be said to have stepped into the limelight since her debut, not only in terms of commercial success, but also in direct MAX.
2019年，她的首张全长录音室专辑《When We All Fall Asleep，Where Do We Go？》一经发行便大获成功。
won five trophies in one fell swoop at the Grammy Awards that year, and the entire album won a total of 7 well-known awards (including five Grammys), making her deservedly promoted from the 18th line to a superstar.
At that time, she was only 17 years old.
The slightly exaggerated word "overnight success" is not so exaggerated when placed on Bi Li.
It is said that there are highs and lows in life, but how did it get to Bili, even the lowest trough is so "dazzling"?
2021,碧梨发行了她的第二张全长录音室专辑《Happier Than Ever》。
Maybe the interval between the second album and the first album is too short, or maybe Bili's "racial discrimination" turmoil continues to ferment (Bili was picked up by netizens during the release of the second album and used to say racism-related language. ）
As a result, the commercial performance of the second album Bili was greatly reduced, not only did there not appear a global hit like "Bad Guy" in the second album, but even the Grammys did not continue to support this album, on the contrary, there were countless nominations but did not win a Grammy, which is in stark contrast to the five trophies of the first album.
But fortunately, Bili knows her mistakes and changes them.
After the "racial discrimination" incident fermented, she quickly issued an official apology statement on social media, saying that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she made racist remarks, and she did not know the offensive and intrusive nature of these words.
此事过后，碧梨的新专辑《Happier Than Ever》的宣传周期也已经结束。
Although it was later discovered that the album was no worse than the first album, it was not able to undo her first commercial failure.
Later, Bili composed the theme song "No Time To Die" for the 007 series of movies, which was not only favored by the Grammys, but also received the Golden Globe Award and Oscar trophy, so that her creative talent was once again exposed by the media.
紧接着，她又为电影《Barbie芭比》创作原声带单曲《What Was I Made For?》。
On the basis of continuous praise, this song was once again favored by major mainstream award ceremonies, taking over the dazzling results of "No Time To Die" and continuing to upgrade, winning two Grammys including "Song of the Year", an Oscar and a Golden Globe.
At this time, she was only 22 years old, and it was clear that she was already at the peak of her music career.
And for fans, nothing is more exciting than the recent announcement that her third full-length studio album, "Hit Me Hard and Soft", will be released on May 17.
And this return, she also whetted the appetite of music fans.
Not only did he return to his early "blue" tone in the album trailer, but he also directly admitted that there would be no prior work announced before the release of the new album, in order to let fans feel the integrity of the whole album.
The implication is to let fans listen to the entire album from start to finish, rather than choosing to skip the first release (if the single is released early).
knows that a large part of the reason why Bili has been favored over the years comes from her ethereal angelic voice.
The song "Ocean Eyes" was the beginning of her popularity and career, but she was only fourteen or fifteen years old at the time.
Now that she is 22 years old, it is not difficult to find that her voice has become thicker and deeper than before, and her ethereal spirit will gradually disappear with age. This will be an unprecedented challenge for her personal style.
Bili's musical comfort zone is basically difficult to touch with the treble, and more of what she shows is her marginal air tone with a sense of "piercing the sky". Therefore, I believe everyone still has full expectations for her new works.
However, she herself said that she would not release the first song.
But I couldn't help but leak the song fragment in advance, which is good if it is not leaked, not only does it make people less mysterious, but also makes people worry about the music style of the new album.
In an audition, Bi Li once again added electronic music to her singing, and the style is more radical, and there are some elements similar to the previous work "Happier Than Ever", but the singing is indeed less ethereal and girly than before.
There are also many people who are worried that leaking clips of the song and even the entire song in advance will affect her album sales and listening rate to a certain extent.
Of course, as music fans, we may not have to worry too much, after all, "the master doesn't care", so isn't it a good thing to release the song in advance?
I don't know if you have listened to her new songs that were exposed in advance, do you think her new album will be a big hit again? #春日生活打卡季#
