A lot of people are just terrified of me.” I think I’ve proved to people that I’m more important than they think…I’m kind of intimidating, so people will listen up. I’m super, super out there…I like to be remembered, so I like to look memorable. I’ve always worn what I wanted to and always said what I wanted to say. I don’t like to follow the rules at all…If somebody starts wearing something a certain way, I’ll wear the complete opposite of that. Of her personality, she says: “I’m really different from a lot of people, and I kind of try to be. It seems as though she employs the dark, moody, mysterious persona in an attempt to set her apart from the crowd. In all honesty, I think half her appeal has to do with the brand she created for herself everyone loves a good brand, a distinct aesthetic that someone can claim their own. First, you have the issue of her “I don’t care” attitude. With Eilish, that’s exactly what she’s lacking: killer music that compensates for her inane theatrics. If the music’s good, of course I’ll stick around-but only for the music. I really don’t make it a habit of flat-out rejecting an artist after seeing a few questionable or distasteful interviews. But the obsession was short-lived-and even our similar name couldn’t keep me a fan. In no time, I’d curated a playlist of her best songs to listen to on loop, turned on post notifications for her Instagram, and even made the arbitrary discovery that “Eilís,” is the Irish name for Elizabeth-we had something (sort-of) in common! For a few short weeks, I was enamored. I’d listen to one song, crave another, and soon enough, I’d be through her entire discography in a matter of hours. My fascination with Eilish’s songs was kind of like eating potato chips: I couldn’t have just one.
Initially, I admired her sound: the harmonies, easy beats, and her consistently mesmerizing, siren-like voice were all likable. And as one who is never opposed to discovering new artists, I decided to dive into her catalog more deeply. About two years ago, when Eilish was one of those barely-heard-of artists that occasionally popped up on a Spotify playlist, I really enjoyed her music at first listen.
I myself can recall my own infatuation with the singer, and what I liked about her at the height of my obsession. With several hit singles and a notable teenage following, Eilish has climbed her way to the top of the charts time and time again. It’s no secret that 17 year-old singer-songwriter Billie Eilish has seen a meteoric rise in the past few years.
