Yup! Final 2 songs put the nail in the coffin for me, without a doubt best project I’ve heard from this year and possibly my favorite project of hers?????? Only time will tell
@@calebryan3094 I agree ttpd was so boring I listened right when it dropped and I was trying so hard to stay awake through it once and I never went back to it, hmhas I listened to fully when it dropped and listened a second time and I’ve listened through it fully 4 times today. What a masterpiece
billie is my favorite artist and this album literally left me completely speechless the vocals the production literally everything is perfect and strange imo
blue is actually a rerecorded version of an unreleased song of hers called true blue, probably the most popular unrealeased song, and for ages fans have wanted her to release it and its finally hereee. when i tell you i was SHOCKED that she released it!!
I completely agree! I think it's probably the best part of the album. And I really love this album. This album was my AOTY until Aurora released her album. Aurora always wins for me, but this album is an incredibly close second. Both albums are incredible.
I honestly can’t say which one’s my favourite yet. Because it feels like one big song, and the songs have different sections, so I have moments and details that are my favourites.
ICONIC, BORN CLASSIC. This is ART, this is love for the music, this is caution and treat your feelings and reflections with respect. Billie Eilish ALWAYS left me speechless (like Beyoncé), she's unique. I can speak for a decade about this album and how big it deserve to be. There's no filler, no skips, every single song can be a single and be so rich of creativity. She's an ARTIST WITH AN A.
I think its called wildflower cause that's Devon Lee Carlson phone case brand. She and Jessie Rutherford were together for years before they split and he dated billie
IM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS ALBUM. Billie and Finneas are such musical geniuses. the production is just beautiful and the lyrics. Billies vocal shine so much in this album in so many different ways she is such a talented vocalist. I can’t explain it in the perfect way but This album is so different from everything but so perfect
billie has always pushed the boundaries of music and started of as more of an indie artist before breaking into the pop scene. this album shows she’s still pushing those boundaries and I LOVEEEE IT she is doing things other artists won’t it’s great
I’ve listened to the album on repeat all day. I love how every song feels like several songs bc of the bridges and the changes in speed yet it’s all somehow one long great song. I don’t think I could ever get tired of hearing it
Can we talk about the strings from The Greatest being the outro to the first and last songs?? I have no idea how this album is filled with so many different styles but is somehow perfectly cohesive.
I love how open you are to music!! and you seem so positive so THANK YOU for making us feel heard and understood 🥰🫶🏻 the album’s fire tho!! especially considering that BLUE samples one of her unreleased songs called True Blue
its a double album ben..there have been so many clues shes left and the ending confirmed it for me, its gonna be a red album, like ilo and milo. (a childhood game she played and her fav song shes wrote) im so scared
oh... that is SO EXCITING to think about, its genious, I hope she does this because it makes so much sense!! I thought the album was way shorter than I expected, probably this is why :D
@@bennshouts the twitter girlies are saying she may wait till right before tour cuz some of the clues were on leaked tour merch with a picture of her under water in blue water and a reverse image of her over it in red water
I have so many theories, I’m really looking forward to her conversation with Zane Lowe in particular, he always gets the best kind of conversation out of Billie, I feel like.
@@TheLoullas I just know that Billie said in her last interview with him when she dropped a snippet of Chihiro that she said “I can’t wait to talk to you about the album for two hours”
I can't even choose a fav. the whole album is unlike anything i've heard before. her vocals and the synth gave me chills EVERYTIMEEE. i've been listening to her since i was 15 and im 22 now. her growth is insane. all of her albums are masterpieces, but hit me hard and soft is pure GOLD
This album is interesting to say the least. I had no idea what to expect and left me wondering if I really liked it or not. Listening to bits here again with you confirmed that yes, yes I do like it
I've had "Blue" (formerly "True Blue") by 15-year-old Billie on an illegal playlist for year and years. Sorry Billie. I love all 3 versions I now have. Loving the albums so far. Stunning journey, Great reaction, thanks!

chihiro is inspired by a studio ghibli movie called "spirited away" which is about a journey through self discovery. She references a lot of things from the movie in the lyrics
I decided that I was gonna go out on a walk in the middle of the night while listening to this album, and let me tell you that that was the perfect way to listen to this album for the first time for me, it was almost euphoric in a way that I can’t even describe. And the thing is that I thought that I wouldn’t like this album as much as When we all fall asleep, where do we go? and Happier than ever, but that was the biggest no. I absolutely love this album.

billie is 22!!! so yeah 21 when most of this album was done and she was 13 (!!!!) when she released ocean eyes! so around 17/18 for her first album. isn't that crazy?
I feel like all your words are true, it’s like she wrote this album to take us through the whiplash it can be to be in a toxic relationship and how it can make yourself a little toxic because that is all you are surrounded by is confusion. Love the reaction 🫶🏻
She really went for an indie/electronic sound on this album. More so, than on previous albums. Her previous albums definitely sounded more poppy to me. I really prefer the more indie sound. Skinny is the first time I've heard the AURORA influence come out in her music. Obviously Birds of a Feather is a 90's pop ballad, but still fun. Wildflowers reminds me of old Sia in a way. Honestly, I don't think Billie's music should be categorized as pop music. It's much too experimental and intelligent, and the only writers are Billie and Phineas. The Diner sounds like it could have been written by The Gorillaz.
WOOOOO more Billie! I am... still figuring out how I feel about this tiny little album. But videos like this one, unpacking different angles and nuances, really helps! Still chewing. The Diner and Blue were probably my favorites, mostly because a lot of the others changed so much and felt like multiple songs melded together and I usually liked one half and not the other? Also no real concert bangers. (And I'm leaving off doing my usual song beg. But just this once! :D)
i fucking love this album and your reaction was tight. just a couple points i felt moved to remark on: finneas has said a few times that he wants billie's vocals to be the focus. younger billie had a very soft voice so that meant kinda keeping a void in the frequencies of his production to give her a hole to fill. her voice has become much more full (chest voice or whatever, i'm not a singer) so he now gets to fill in some of the parts he previously left out. and then i just want to share that the song "blue" is a very old song of theirs. th-cam.com/video/ZtasR0yPHYQ/w-d-xo.html i think you might enjoy 14 yr old billie performing this one before she became "billie eilish" and was still touring with a live band. cheers!
Chihiro is based off the movie spirited away! It’s meant to be confusing because the girl in the movie is literally spirited away into another dimension where there’s creatures and she’s scared and like you said “not knowing what the hells going on” lmaoo
this album left me SPEECHLESS
right?!?!
Yup! Final 2 songs put the nail in the coffin for me, without a doubt best project I’ve heard from this year and possibly my favorite project of hers?????? Only time will tell
@@Soupytimeeeim a swiftey and an avocado idk whi to vote for the aoty this year
@MakiSwiftey no offense but TTPD is so much worse than HMHAS. Billie took risks and it sounds great while Taylor just made generic Taylor songs.
@@calebryan3094 I agree ttpd was so boring I listened right when it dropped and I was trying so hard to stay awake through it once and I never went back to it, hmhas I listened to fully when it dropped and listened a second time and I’ve listened through it fully 4 times today. What a masterpiece
me to every song:
oh this one's gonna be my favorite
hahahaha literally
agree; ;
HAHA that was mw hearing SKINNEY for the first time
billie is my favorite artist and this album literally left me completely speechless the vocals the production literally everything is perfect and strange imo
Speechless while splurting out random words is me hahaha

oh wow, that's wild! love that long time fans finally got to hear an unreleased song! and it fits perfectly with this era too!
born blue (the second half of blue) also was an unreleased track and i love how she combined them
True Blue. Is it a cover of the Madonna song?
@@remingtongraves not a cover, just the same name
@@remingtongraves no💀
Her best album which is pretty great considering her other projects are awesome as well. Production sounds so fresh.
Cannot get over the prod!
PRODUCTION on Birds of a Feather is so good
People don't talk about this, but the transition between Bittersuite and Blue is transcendental, I LOVE THOSE SYNTHESIZERS THEY ARE HEAVEN
Yes
I completely agree! I think it's probably the best part of the album. And I really love this album. This album was my AOTY until Aurora released her album. Aurora always wins for me, but this album is an incredibly close second. Both albums are incredible.
this is so good, I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets album of the year, the vocals are INSANE
god what an insane nominations list this year is going to have!
I honestly can’t say which one’s my favourite yet. Because it feels like one big song, and the songs have different sections, so I have moments and details that are my favourites.
THIS!
Real
I love that little imagery you evoked with the vocals swimming within the production

Could not agree more! It truly is ART.
A living legend
I always got happy tears from listen Chihiro. The vocals, the bass and the electronics in harmony, my brain just freeze and the emotions get out.
In Wildflower she talks about how she feels guilty for dating a friend's ex. Kinda hard.
Oh damn 😭
ohh that’s TOUGH
I think its called wildflower cause that's Devon Lee Carlson phone case brand. She and Jessie Rutherford were together for years before they split and he dated billie
@@bluecali4na thats what i was thinking

💙🌀💙🌀💙
Twin! Me too it’s my favorite outro song of hers too
Same. The way she changed the unreleased version is UNBELIVEBLE. It's so good.
might be her best honestly, it's so good, not a single song feels like filler

Top 3 album of the year for me. Outstanding and sonically perfect.

@@bennshouts Thank you and thank you for giving this to us so quickly! 🌹
I love how open you are to music!! and you seem so positive so THANK YOU for making us feel heard and understood 🥰🫶🏻
the album’s fire tho!! especially considering that BLUE samples one of her unreleased songs called True Blue
Aww thabk YOU for watching and vibing with me!!! 💙💙💙
The production is so cinematic. It's like The Umbrellas of Cherbourg meets Blue Monday, which is a combination I never knew I needed.
Such an insane album! I’m not even really a pop fan, I like rock mostly but this album floored me.
this album is so freaking good!! i was waiting for your reaction lol
😘😘😘
Representing Bittersuite stans
💙💙💙 WE SEE U
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
No lol not even close.
@@whentheworldwasatwar8717actually very very close
birds of a feather is sooo beautiful it makes me emotional and nostalgic for some reason
Yessss!!!!
Same here , I think every song is great but I think it’s my favorite. It reminds me a little of young Mariah Carey .
its a double album ben..there have been so many clues shes left and the ending confirmed it for me, its gonna be a red album, like ilo and milo. (a childhood game she played and her fav song shes wrote) im so scared
Omg WHAT?!!?

love it sooooo much and have played it over and over...
I have so many theories, I’m really looking forward to her conversation with Zane Lowe in particular, he always gets the best kind of conversation out of Billie, I feel like.
Yes me too!
I was wondering if I could expect an interview with him - are your sure there will be one ?
@@TheLoullas I just know that Billie said in her last interview with him when she dropped a snippet of Chihiro that she said “I can’t wait to talk to you about the album for two hours”
@@nomadine85 you‘re right forgot about that :)) Well I‘m READY :D
@@TheLoullas it’s out now! Just watched it
This album left me astonished
The hook in Chihiro when Billie sings “meee” in her falsetto is quite literally magical
the best vocal performances of her career can be found in this project
🌊💙
Beyoncé has some hard competition this year with Billie and Dua (and probably Lana) whew what a year
INSANE YEAR MY GOD
I personally feel like Beyonce will win album of the year but I will say this album is the most unique thing I ever listened to in a good way.
There is no competition. Billie's album is so much better. It's art.
Not just another brick in the wall.
The grammy will be very dramatic no matter way it goes.
I love that you don‘t mention Taylor Swift❤️
Dude the freaking violins in the end of skinny was beautiful! My top three are The Diner, Chihiro and skinny
the strings slay me omg
My fav is CHIHIRO💙🔹🦋. It’s amazing💙💙💙
definitely one of my faves too! 🔷
@@bennshouts You seemed so confused by its specificity, perhaps it helps to know that it’s inspired by the movie “Spirited Away”
I've listened to Chihiro so many times in the last two days. I think it might be Billie's best song yet. Phineas bodied that production.
@@nomadine85 I didn't realize it was inspired by Chihiro from Spirited Away, but I love it even more now.
Me too! Perfection!!

A true masterpiece of an album
😮💨😮💨
This album is a masterpiece.
Her vocals are so amazing. It's definitely very intentionally layered behind the production. This album needs time for me to dissect.
I was shook with that second part of d'amour de ma vie
Im still shook
She really went for an indie/electronic sound on this album. More so, than on previous albums. Her previous albums definitely sounded more poppy to me. I really prefer the more indie sound. Skinny is the first time I've heard the AURORA influence come out in her music. Obviously Birds of a Feather is a 90's pop ballad, but still fun. Wildflowers reminds me of old Sia in a way. Honestly, I don't think Billie's music should be categorized as pop music. It's much too experimental and intelligent, and the only writers are Billie and Phineas. The Diner sounds like it could have been written by The Gorillaz.
This album was definitely something else it's my favorite album by her now
When I heard skinny, wildflower and the greatest I bawled my eyes out, especially with the greatest
😭😭😭
She’s 22 now, just imagine her being a teenager making hte and wwafawdwg its insane what she can do.
CANNOT COMPREHEND

Chihiro is my fav already

And I get this so often 😂😂
In the apple interview, she talked about how her and Finnies were told “make this album like no one is ever going to hear it” I love that

Oh wow hahahaa so technically I got it… 😂
had to watch someone else react to this so i know that we all feel the same
yesssssss!
