The rumor mill was stirred up last week when singer Billie Eilish fans had added to her close friends Instagram stories. Could there be new music coming? Our hopes are now confirmed: a new album is on the way! Her new album will Hit me hard and soft are going to be called.
Close friends
That the singer added fans to her last week close friends on Instagram kept people busy. Billie shared a number of photos where we could only guess at the meaning, such as a photo of a hand that appeared to have been taken underwater. Theories soon emerged that it was a marketing stunt. And whether that worked! The rumor mill was already in full swing when the singer posted about her feed the new album confirmed.
The post reveals the album cover. We see Billie Eilish underwater, swimming towards an open door on the surface. Now the story from a few days earlier also falls into place: it is a tiny piece of the photo. “’HIT ME HARD AND SOFT’ MY THIRD ALBUMMMMMMMMMMMMM COMES OUT MAY 17THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH,” the singer wrote in the caption.
“So crazy to be writing this right now i’m nervyyyyy & exciteddd,” gaat de post verder, “Finneas and i truly could not be more proud of this album and we absolutely can’t wait for you to hear it. Love you love you love you.” O’Connell testified, Billie’s older brother, also contributed to the new album. The singer-songwriter has already co-written her previous two albums, and together they create musical works of art every time. Billie’s last album Happier Than Ever was released in 2021, and she cited self-reflection during the COVID pandemic as the biggest inspiration for her music.
Please be patient
We are very curious to see what this world star’s third album will sound like. Whether the singer will like some of her new work tease is still the question. The singer shares on Instagram that we should not expect singles, but that she will have the entire album at once the drop. Delicious! And a small one side note, would it mean anything that the announcement is written in garish capital letters, while Billie Eilish is known for her use of only lowercase letters? In any case, we can’t wait!
