Named 'the most talked-about teen on the planet' by NME and a 'pop
prodigy' by Harper's Bazaar, in the space of just three years and
still just a teenager, Billie Eilish has become one of the most streamed
artists on the planet. From her unique style of songs, co-created with
her brother, Finneas O'Connell, to her squeamish videos and unusual
look, Billie is far from your typical 18-year old singer.
Though she's young, she's no cookie-cutter pop star. Her famous dead
eyes, her performatively bored attitude along with her angsty, often
sadistic lyrics about serial killers and psychopaths make Eilish
intruiging and 'intimidating as hell'. With her colourful hair and her
refusal to wear any tight clothing, Eilish is well known for her
distinctive style. Her loose, body-obscuring silhouettes in neon colours
and graffiti prints have become so iconic that she has now launched her
own retro-inspired clothing collection. But Eilish's appeal doesn't just
stem from her style or her music, she is also admired for her frank
discussion of mental health and body image issues and taking her social
responsibility as a role model seriously. According to New York Times,
Billie Eilish represents a 'collective middle finger to the strictures
of teen-pop sex appeal'.
Eilish's celebrity superfans range from Shawn Mendes and Julia Roberts
to Katy Perry and Nirvana's David Grohl. But did you know that Billie is
vegan? Or that her middle name is 'Pirate'? This book is full of
fascinating facts and fun nuggets of knowledge which will delight
superfans as well as those new to her music but keen to find out more.
And with seven gold and three platinum singles in the US under her belt,
it looks like Billie is set to dominate the music industry for many
years to come.
