Photo: Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT via https://store.billieeilish.com/ Billie Eilish is a musical phenomenon. She took the world by storm in 2019 with her debut full-length album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? The album’s success earned her five Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and Album of the Year. From that moment, everyone knew that Eilish was one to watch. Each new release is highly anticipated and her latest album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is no exception. Her third record has already been deemed a fan favorite by many listeners, containing 10 tracks that showcase a new side of Eilish that has not yet been heard. Track List SKINNY LUNCH CHIHIRO BIRDS OF A FEATHER WILDFLOWER THE GREATEST L’AMOUR DE MA VIE THE DINER BITTERSUITE BLUE SKINNY Eilish kicks off the album with a hauntingly beautiful ballad that delves into the singer’s insecurities and her experience with body image and growing up in the spotlight. Throughout “SKINNY”, her profound lyrics give the listener insight into the inner workings of the singer’s mind. Being in the limelight, the media and the general public think it is acceptable to comment on the appearance of others. In the first verse, she mentions the song’s title for the only time: “People say I look happy// Just because I got skinny// But the old me is still me and maybe the real me// And I think she’s pretty.” She has noticed public opinion on her and the way she is treated has changed based on her looks. But she is the same person she always was. As she continues in the song, she utilizes clever metaphors to reference her experience with feeling trapped in a cage, accompanied by the sound of a crowd screaming at a concert, or being in a controlling, power imbalanced relationship. “SKINNY” gives the listener an opportunity to know where Eilish’s headspace is before she delves into nine more tracks that explore her life in the past three years since her last album. LUNCH “LUNCH” is an incredibly infectious track that immediately enthralls the listener and makes them want to dance along. Eilish utilizes a unique production choice that she used on previous albums, where the beat began at the end of “SKINNY’ and continued into “LUNCH”. She utilized this on her first album when “bury a friend” transitioned into “ilomilo”. Eilish continuously creates songs that keep the listener on their toes. Her albums are not just a simple collection of songs, but a cohesive masterpiece that is made to be played in order. Eilish first teased snippets of “LUNCH” at Coachella 2024, giving her listeners a glimpse into the album. The catchy song is her first outwardly queer song since coming out within the past year. Regarding the song, she told Rolling Stone it helped her understand her sexuality and identity better. With the cheeky lyrics and bouncy production, “LUNCH” is on its way to becoming the song of the summer. CHIHIRO The third track has such an abstract and unique soundscape that is simultaneously very different from other Eilish songs while also maintaining her distinctive experimental sounds that fans initially fell in love with. “CHIHIRO” is a reference to the 2003 film, Spirited Away. Much like the movie, the track contains an ethereal element that takes the listener to another world as they immerse themselves in the song. Throughout the track, she continuously makes references to the namesake, bringing excitement to fans of the film. Meanwhile, Eilish showcases her stunning vocals alongside psychedelic build-ups that float the audience into orbit. The song ends with an intense production explosion that suddenly cuts off, followed by one final vocalization to stun listeners. BIRDS OF A FEATHER “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” is another song distinctively different from all other music she has released. The soft, indie-pop instrumentation with an upbeat melody instantly caught my attention. Throughout the song. Eilish showcases her vocal range, showing a different side that she has not utilized before. Rather than her soft, airy vocals, her voice was more rounded and fuller, showing that she can sing any style and genre. The song discusses a relationship that is perfectly made. She uses the popular idiom: “Birds of a feather flock together.” She is telling her muse that their similarities are what makes them perfect for each other. The unforgettable soundscape, stunning vocals, and sweet lyrics are what made “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” my initial favorite track. WILDFLOWER “WILDFLOWER” is another incredible track that contains elements of indie-rock, folk, and pop, making it one of my favorite instrumentations of the album. Alongside the emotionally charged production, Eilish shares her experience of comforting a girl after a break-up, only to get together with her ex. The singer describes the guilt and shame she holds in the back of her mind, and her inability to stop thinking about the girl she is betraying. The song starts soft, lulling the listener into a sense of serenity and comfort before the song builds into an intense, passionate soundscape that showcases her desperation and anxiety. At the end of the final chorus, the guitar strums indicate the ending of the song. However, after a few seconds, the guitar returns, and Eilish’s stunning vocals use an empty hallway reverb effect to repeat the vulnerable bridge, bringing an emphasis to the heart-wrenching lyrics. This second ending to the song is another classic Eilish production, always leaving listeners guessing. THE GREATEST As a lover of gut-wrenching break-up songs and soft, folk-rock style soundscapes, “THE GREATEST” is another song that caught my attention from my first listen. Eilish delves into a relationship where she was constantly giving and her partner was constantly taking. There was an imbalance in their dynamic, and she was constantly putting in more effort. She introduces this idea immediately with the lyrics: “I’m trying my best to keep you satisfied// Let you get your rest while I stayed up all night.” She was constantly making sacrifices for the subject, while they wouldn’t even bat an eye. In the chorus, she sings the tongue-in-cheek hook, “Man, am I the greatest?” She knows she is worth more than she is being treated. In the outro, she repeats this and follows up with, “God, I hate it// All my love and patience// Unappreciated.” She has finally given up on this person and is not afraid to showcase her resentment toward their selfishness and apathy. She ends the song with a twist on the hook: “I shouldn’t have to say it// You could’ve been the greatest.” She tells her subject that if they had put in an effort and treated her the way she deserved, they could’ve been the greatest too. Their love could have been epic, but instead, they fell short of this feat. “THE GREATEST” is not only my favorite song on the album, but also one of my top Eilish tracks ever due to its complex lyrics and powerful production. L’AMOUR DE MA VIE “L’amour de ma vie” is the French translation of the phrase, “The love of my life.” However, Eilish uses this phrase as a sarcastic ode to her ex-partner, stating that they are no longer the love of her life—or perhaps they never were but she definitely was theirs. She conveys a tone that displays this cheeky attitude. The first half of the song has a steady coffee shop production that effortlessly guides the listener through the song. Then, with only two minutes left, the soundscape transitions to a sudden change in the iconic Eilish fashion. The music turns into a dance-pop, electro production with heavy vocal effects. This instrumentation is the exact opposite of the first half’s natural instrumentals. Listeners are shocked by this change and intrigued by Eilish and Finneas’s unique musical composition that does not stick to one genre. THE DINER “THE DINER” takes another page from Eilish’s past releases. Similar to “bellyache” from her EP, don’t smile at me, which shares the narrative of a murderer, “THE DINER” is from a stalker’s perspective. However, while “bellyache” is a fictional story, the new song is about the singer’s experience with stalkers. Unfortunately, an aspect of being in the limelight is being stalked and threatened by strangers, some who believe they are in a relationship with the celebrity. Eilish steps into their shoes and describes their delusions. Throughout the song, there is an effect on her vocals that makes them seem distant, emulating a stalker looking in from a distance. They want to get closer, but they are kept away, maybe due to a restraining order or a large security fence. However, this does not stop them and things only progress. After Eilish sings the lyrics in the bridge: “I saw you in the car with someone else and couldn’t sleep// If something happens to him, you can bet that it was me,” sirens can be heard in the background, bringing the story to life. “THE DINER” serves as a reminder to fans that there is a fine line between being a devoted supporter and an obsessive stalker. It is a cautionary tale to remind them to not let the parasocial relationship drive them to extremes. BITTERSUITE The title of the ninth track is a play on the word “bittersweet.” The song is very different from anything she and Finneas have ever written, from the unique sections of different instrumentations to the style of music. “Bittersuite” is incredibly abstract and was an experimental track for the power collaborating siblings. There were times throughout the song that I had not realized I was listening to the same track because of just how distinct each section was. Toward the end of the vocal section of the multilayered track, Eilish sings, “L’amour de ma vie// Love so bittersweet/Open up the door for me.” While the middle line utilized this song’s title for the only time, the first line recalls the previous track of the name, and the last line was a lyric from “CHIHIRO”.  This is not the first time she has done something like this. On her debut album, her final track “goodbye” referenced each song in reverse order. It is a unique addition that I have not heard any other artist do, and it brings me joy to hear Eilish do it again. BLUE Continuing with the references to previous songs on the album, “BLUE” upholds this clever process. In the verse, she references “BIRDS OF A FEATHER”, “L”AMOUR DE MA VIE”, “THE GREATEST”, “CHIHIRO”, “WILDFLOWER”, “BITTERSUITE, “SKINNY, and “LUNCH”. Since not every one of these songs are referenced directly by title, it takes a few listens or read-through of the lyrics to grasp this. However, once you do, you cannot unhear it. And it becomes something lodged in your mind. Eilish has once again ended her album with an ingenious nod to all the songs on the album, wrapping the entire project up in one final, neat bow. HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is another flawless addition to Eilish’s stunning discography, showing off a new side of herself while simultaneously calling back to her roots. Rather than erring on the side of caution and making radio-friendly tracks, the singer has delivered songs that are authentically her and what she enjoys. This is one of my favorite aspects about Eilish. Instead of catering to the general public, she releases what she finds relatable and interesting. This is what initially drew her fans to the artist. From her unique aesthetics to everchanging, nonconforming sounds, Eilish has once again proven her absolute stardom.

Toxic love can be detrimental. It can leave destruction far more harmful than a calamitous storm, leaving its venomous mark– making it unforgettable. Yet, through all the destruction that is left, all the damage its poison had left behind– toxic love can also be immensely addicting. As time passes, the hurt we’ve gone through will be long diminished and ebbed, and all that we are left with are the feelings of desire, yearning for the love we once experienced despite the superfluous bedlam it might have caused. Akin to ‘forbidden fruit’, we fall into temptation, and before we are even made aware, we are back in the harrowing palms of toxicity, longing for more of its venom. ‘Venomous’ by Riya Gadher is an addictive sound that will leave listeners not only craving for more of Riya’s beautifully gentle voice but also finding themselves resonating with such elaborate lyrics that are cultivated from the deepest sentiments of Riya’s very own heart and ingenious mind.

Brilliantly introspective and reposeful, “Blue,” by singer-songwriter Anna Josephine perfectly captures a poet's heart laid bare. And to our grateful ears, Josephine has presented her song as a lyrically soothing sonata, a lullaby of plucking heartstrings, and an ephemeral moment. Pressed with winter shades and dreamy vocals, “Blue” resembles its title with delicate scenes of short-lived moments and the sting of their passing. “Hollow chest and restless eyes / Room more empty than before” Josephine lulls, “Precious daylight / Mid-December.” Moving and soft, “Blue” finds you wrapped up in an empty bed, filled with memories of it once being occupied by another kindred spirit. She sings, “Strain to listen through the fog / What’s another minute more.” “Blue” captures precious moments and the longing to keep them before they float away. Wrapped in a simple acoustic plucking of delicate notes and a sweet, melancholic melody, Josephine delivers a “Blue” mood with a touch of soft vocals. With a soothing and tranquil voice, Josephine carries the song along like a calm flowing stream of water. Though the lyrics hit on heavier themes at moments, “Take again, another bite / Edibles won’t save you from your fears,” Josephine skillfully balances it out by keeping the song lighter in tone. Cut-up memories are scattered throughout, compelling us to piece together an unsolved puzzle, worn down by time and use. Lyrically we are left to pick up the pieces, step back, and fully see the bittersweet moments come together. Through the second chorus and bridge, angel-like harmonies are heard behind Josephine, adding to the faint dreamlike landscape, a dream quickly washing away, as we're left with only sorrow at its disappearance. Simple and pensive, “Blue” is beautifully crafted, soul-baring, and appreciatively authentic. Anna Josephine is a pop-folk singer and songwriter known for her unique lyricism and indie sound. Josephine's past singles showcase her talent in story writing through folky tunes such as “Sweeter Than Reality” and “Lovesick Lullaby.” The Brooklyn-based singer hits on realistic themes of heartache, love, and finding oneself. Through her music, Josephine has proven to be honest and sincere with her lyrics and her music always shines through with her originality. Labeling her new music season as her “Blue Period,” listeners are given a taste of her poignant poetry and melodic voice as we are left craving for more. “Blue” sits with a quiet magnitude, and I eagerly await what else Josephine will pull from her pockets.

Sweet Dreams is the latest single by pop artist, Ronald Morrera. The track was released after an almost year-long hiatus where Morrera made the decision to keep pushing through and making music despite many hurdles in his way. The song tackles issues such as body image, identity, and self-acceptance. Morrera stated in a press release that he hopes the song's narrative "resonates with individuals navigating their own paths of self-discovery." Morrera tells the story of feeling self-conscious after being cheated on. He reveals his insecurity through lines like, "I'm just the guy on the side that you like." He also talks about how he wants this person so badly, but is upset that he can't have them when he sings, "Sweet dreams got me dreaming of you/I scream learning that I can't have you." I really liked his angle on this track because it's rare to hear male artists addressing topics like mental health and self-esteem issues in their music. It's a breath of fresh air on the traditional breakup song and I was a fan. Much like the majority of Morrera's other songs, Sweet Dreams is a 1980s-inspired synth-pop anthem. The upbeat synths lead the track and give it the 80s flair that artists like The Weeknd and Dua Lipa brought back over the past few years. The vibes of this song might just send you back in time and get you out on the floor at the roller rink. Sweet Dreams also features a prominent bass riff throughout the song, giving the song a little bit of a jazz influence. The fast-paced drum beat keeps this song modern with its Timberlake-esque R&B energy. Morrera's voice is one of the most unique voices I've heard in pop music. He combines the styles of Sam Smith and Usher to create a sound that I could easily see on hundreds of summer smashes. Long story short... it's a banger. "I wrote Sweet Dreams at a point in my life where my eating disorder was slowly getting the better of me. Being fat, gay, femme, and Asian was kinda hard," said Ronald Morrera in an Instagram post regarding the song's release. This Filipino-Canadian artist started releasing his music amid the pandemic with his debut single, Call Me . He released several other singles throughout 2022 and 2023 and has played iconic stages and events including the JUNO Awards. Morrera may have taken some time away from the spotlight, but he is ready to share his story. "I am a bad b**ch. But I'm also an introvert and a softie. One day I'll write some c**ty gay pop music for you all, but for now, I am bearing my heart to you." To hear a little bit of Ronald Morrera's heart, stream Sweet Dreams now and make sure to keep an eye out for his next big hit.

Whether you’re in the mountains, desert, forest, etc., ‘Pretender’ by Thomas Day transforms wherever you are and emphasizes a bright image of near-sunset beach days with hair dusted in salt from the ocean. This complex, romantic, track tells the tale of a past love – one that is now unrequited. The first look into the layers behind this relationship can be seen in the line, “I think of the past and I don’t know why.” Following this line, Day goes on to tell listeners the story of a thunderous relationship. Day admits that he desired to present this individual with a wedding ring, but now this person has a connection with someone else. While the song is building momentum, Day looks back on the past. As it snakes toward the chorus, reality is introduced. Past this point, the truth of the situation has settled in – but Day is not done laying out his heart for and bonding with this person. This high-energy, yet melancholic, pop song embodies the sensations of experiencing a torturous young love. First hitting the listener’s ears with the lines, “denim and salty hair, walked in the room like you just don’t care,” you are greeted with a feeling of familiar intrigue. This person is one to analyze, with depth and confidence that bring power to the story. Along with these lines, the backing guitar continues on with a casual strum as Day unravels this story – much like taking a slow stroll on a nice day. Signifying a change in the tone of both the song and story, forceful drums explode onto the track when the line, “Baby you’re nowhere,” is introduced. Suddenly, the tone has shifted, and you’re in the middle of a truthful and heartfelt confession. From this point on, Day fully releases the reins and showcases a voice that’s as authoritative and energetic as the backing drums, guitar, and piano. Beginning his career on the platform TikTok with cover songs and a feature on America’s Got Talent in 2020, Thomas Day has quickly emerged as an exciting new pop act. In 2021, Day signed with Arista Records, owned by Sony Music Entertainment. Since then, he has sold out his first headline tour and has additionally accumulated 7 million followers across social platforms and over a quarter of a billion global streams of his music. Before his start on TikTok and America’s Got Talent, Day was a high school football player and was being recruited by colleges to be a placekicker. By 2019, a singing video originally posted as a joke for his friend had made Day go semi-viral. Following this, he threw himself into creating more cover videos and then went on to star on America’s Got Talent. Day contracted COVID during filming for America’s Got Talent Now and was unfortunately removed from the show because of it. Today, Day is continuing to work on his music and is a serious force to be reckoned with in the pop scene.

Madeline’s vocals were stunning on this track. It starts soft and builds into something that has you tapping your foot. Madeline said she created this song to express how love is better in the fanatical phase versus the reality that love is hard and can end. Sometimes it does end, but it doesn’t mean we don’t reflect on the good times. This song has a feeling of nostalgia. She is looking back on the relationship and imagining all of the beautiful moments, concealing them in her mind. The hook “am I still that girl” leaves me wondering if Madeline wonders how the other person perceives her after all this time. She questions if they still see her as the girl she was from the innocent love. “Living on borrowed time” is such a powerful line she used to describe the dynamic of the relationship. It expresses how it was never meant to last, it was something to cherish in the moment. Madeline put her heart into the lyrics and painted a picture of reminiscing.

Jackson Breit delivers a Blues Pop banger artfully layered with imagery-laden storytelling on his latest track, Hit Man . Breit sings of alternate lifestyles he could have lived, had he gone down a different path, before declaring how lucky he feels to have ended up just the way he is – culminating in the line "1 in 400 trillion, that's the chance that I have this life of mine, It's a miracle that I'm here with you and you're here with me right now". Jackson envisions being an astronaut, Christian, movie star, soldier, preacher's son, lawyer, inner city trashman, and even a felon throughout Hit Man . Lyrics like "Moves so killer, a true born sinner, Maybe another life" give listeners a glimpse into the mind of a self-reflective daydreamer. Hit Man is a fun and catchy song that any member of the audience will find themselves singing along to as Jackson Breit takes them on journey through his musical wonderings. Hit Man is a funky and fun pop hit with a timeless feel that blends varying eras of music into a cohesive and addicting sound. Jackson's vocal delivery reflects the similar style of artists like John Mayer, Gavin Degraw or Jack Johnson, while the production feels like it's from the golden age of Stax Records. The song opens with jazzy electric piano chords that sound like they're played on a Rhodes or a Wurlitzer. Jackson's vocals slowly slide in during this deceptively chill intro. The energy starts to brew as the layers of reverb and delay peel away from Jackson's voice, just before a cracking snare roll introduces the first hook. The full instrumentation here includes brass, drums, keys, bass, and heaps of backing vocals. There's a bridge after the second chorus that breaks the rhythm of the drums, creating a tense ambiance that increases the excitement of the arrangement. There is also a new section introduced after the third chorus that strips down the instrumentation to simply piano and hand claps. This segment crescendos into a groovy instrumental section, followed by a vocal outro. Hit Man 's combination of clean and energetic production with crisp vocals is a foolproof recipe for a hit, man. Jackson Breit is an independent singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, by way of Virginia Beach, with an iconic blues-soul meets Hip Hop sound and poetically catchy lyrics. Jackson is an industry anomaly, having crafted quite an impressive music career for himself despite having lost hearing entirely in his right ear as a young child. As a youth, Breit took up the jazz trumpet and blues guitar – eventually going on to join his high school jazz band as the jazz trumpeter before briefly starting a reggae rock band and, later, a Hip Hop group called Bruno Jackson. Towards the end of college, Jackson put out his song Sunny Side "which kind of blew up in a way" and lead to him moving to Los Angeles to pursue music full time. His rise to prominence as an artist came from singing cover songs – his track 679 has already surpassed 30 million streams on Spotify alone – and he has since blossomed into one of the more exciting solo artists coming up in the States. Breit also has a penchant for Hip Hop production and the burgeoning star has gone on to skillfully produce the majority of his own songs.

Move Like Creatures is coming in strong with their newest song “Daggers”. The song explores the complexities and struggles of living in a place like California, but the sound of the track certainly inspires summertime enjoyment. In an animated manner, the song presents the city of Los Angeles as otherworldly and very cutthroat. Move Like Creatures embodies high-powered infectious melodies with “Daggers” and it makes you want to listen on repeat. “Daggers” is just the kind of explosive anthem to complete your summer playlists and is also an exciting way to introduce yourself to Move Like Creatures. “Daggers” carries itself with vibrant indie rock tones, but what really sells this song as quality produced work is the lyrical display. The song’s frankness of the deceit that runs through the industry adds a dark twist to the high-energy sounds of the track. “Hit me with your truth don’t kiss me with your lies” cuts deep with its need for transparency and tiredness of the false advertisement that comes with some of the friendships grown in this scene. The song’s lyrics call for inner strength in order to fight the physical and mental solitude that is birthed in Los Angeles. “Daggers” isn’t just an anthem because of its musical style, but because of what it preaches and how it calls for wariness of what one can experience when chasing their ambitions. Move Like Creatures is a group from Southern California that was birthed in 2020 during the pandemic through a Craigslist ad which makes for a fun origin story. The group consists of lead singer Nancy Bombard, drummer Melissa Koziel, and guitarist Ryan Reynolds. By listening to the band’s music, it is clear that their influences come from different spaces in order to create a vibrant blend. There’s a lot of transparency in the messages being produced by the band which is always nice to see, and it builds up the trust between the artist and listener. Move Like Creatures will certainly catch your eye and we will be wondering what comes next from them.

Simone has just released a brand new heartbreak anthem entitled, “Linger,” and the title says it all. The track suggests a profound struggle Simone has been experiencing in regard to lingering emotions and memories about a past relationship. A significant lyric, “I’ve done everything I can to forget, somehow you still linger” summarizes the song’s themes of loss, emotional pain, and the human experience. Simone reflects on the difficulty of closure by including very personal lyrics such as, “Now I can’t watch that show anymore.” Such a specific memory may cause a resurgence of painful emotions for many who listen to the track, and this is all due to Simone’s ability to make songs which are both intimate and accessible to her audience. Comprehensively, Simone does a fantastic job of conveying her heartbreak through the lyricism of this song. While the lyrics replay bittersweet moments of her relationship, Simone sings with plenty of passion. “Linger” is slow-tempo and filled with melancholy, breathy vocals. The chosen vocal technique involves the singer allowing more air to pass through her vocal cords, creating a whisper-like sound quality. This evokes the same sense of closeness and intimacy as the track’s lyrics. Simone’s intriguing voice is accompanied by the harmonious and subdued acoustic instrumentals of the track. The song’s production is impressive as both Simone’s voice and the guitar sound captivatingly clear and textured. Combined, these elements synthesize to create the introspective and heartbreaking song which is “Linger.” Born and raised on the Upper West Side of New York City by a musical family, Simone has always been surrounded by a rich musical heritage.
