Eilish

I’m really out of touch with most modern music, much preferring to play and write than to listen these days. Unless it’s live or someone I know personally. But one huge mainstream artist that has caught my attention is Billie Eilish who last night, at the grand old age of 20, headlined the Pyramid Stage of Glastonbury.

Hats off to her (and her brother who is very much her backing band and producer) for making songs that sound fresh but still fairly timeless, and manage to deal with the usual themes of a young life in such a compelling way. She seems to have her head on straight, so hopefully can handle the high levels of attention and fan worship without it messing her life up.

If you haven’t listened here’s Happier Than Ever….just a young girl’s break up song, but a damn good one. That’s the way to get it off your chest.
