Billie Eilish, the wicked queen of gothic pop of Generation Z, has grown at age 19. His second album, “Happier Than Ever“, was released on 30 July 2021 worldwide. This is certified by the title of one of the songs and also by the general tone of the album, a long lullaby of elegant and electronic echoes.
You Make Me Hate This City
When I’m away from you
I’m happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn’t true
Give me a day or two
To think of something clever
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do
Do you read my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue?
When you said you were passing through
Was I even on your way?
I knew when I asked you to
Be cool about what I was telling you
You’d do the opposite of what you said you’d do
And I’d end up more afraid
Don’t say it isn’t fair
You clearly weren’t aware that you
Made me miserable
So if you really wanna know
When I’m away from you
I’m happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn’t true
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
Driving home under the influence
You scared me to death but I’m wasting my breath
‘Cause you only listen to your fucking friends
I don’t relate to you
I don’t relate to you, no
‘Cause I’d never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city
And I don’t talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
‘Cause that shit’s embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
So don’t waste the time I don’t have
And don’t try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I’d have an empty line ’cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends so I
Shut ’em all out for you ’cause I was a kid
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fucking leave me alone
There is little immediately in this second long-form installment of the American artist, who shuns the patterns that led her debut, ” When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? ” (2019), to become the Grammy Award for Best album thanks to hits in which he conjugated an unexpected dark and unruly tone, as in ” Bad guy “.
Although the creative association with his brother Finneas is maintained, the title (“happier than ever” in Spanish) marks a full stop with respect to the tortuous aftertaste that could dot some parts of his previous work.
Few people can address complicated as Eilish and Happier Than Ever ( happier than ever ) is a fascinating look at the messy and life of a famous pop star, as personal as Taylor Swift but more self-critical and emotionally honest. It is a magnificent, ambitious and mature album of a young woman who activates the fire alarm while we all watch the flames.
The 16-song album, which lasts just under an hour, begins with “Getting Older” and the clear and piercing observation of a 19-year-old prodigy: “Things I once enjoyed / now only keep me employed.”
