Billie Eilish Shares New Music Snippets, Reveals Fear of Never Creating Again

Billie Eilish Shares New Music Snippets, Reveals Fear of Never Creating Again

The singer shared with CBS Mornings that coming up with new ideas for songs never gets any easier.

Even though Billie Eilish has won two Oscars, nine Grammy Awards, sold-out shows worldwide, and the love of her fans, she still feels nervous about whether she'll be able to write another song.

CBS Mornings host Anthony Mason met up with Billie Eilish on her tour in Chicago to talk about the writer’s block she and her brother/producer Finneas struggled with last year. They also discussed whether she cares about winning more Grammys. Billie is named for seven Grammys at the following year's show, including Record of the Year and Tune of the Year for "Similar creatures," and Collection of the Year for Hit Me Hard and Delicate.

Billie Eilish laughed and called the ongoing recognition from the Recording Academy “the craziest thing in the world,” saying it left her “blown away, excited, honored, and humbled all at once.”

Be that as it may, making her third collection, Hit Me Hard and Delicate, was an intense interaction. At a certain point, she and her sibling Finneas felt totally stuck, which she said never gets more straightforward. "It works out, and you think, 'What in the world?! I'm at absolutely no point ever going to make in the future,'" she made sense of. Following quite a while of running out of road, they at long last tracked down motivation on May 25, 2023, when they began dealing with the tune "Wildflower."

Finneas talked about the time when things started to click again, saying that when they worked on "The Greatest," it became clear they were finally being honest in their music.

Billie, who never saw herself as a singer until recently, shared that she started taking vocal lessons. She had avoided them before because she felt insecure, worried that a teacher might tell her she wasn't a "big singer." She also explained how, as a girl growing up as an athlete, she felt that if she wasn’t good at something once, people would think she was bad at it forever.

Eilish also gave Anthony Mason a tour of her traveling recording studio, which she sets up in her green room at every venue and includes a piano. She shared that after shows, she likes to jam with friends. Billie then played short clips of two songs she’s been working on—one with just her voice and a playful piano line, and another with her soft vocals over a calm beat.

“It’s nothing serious, we’ve just been making music and crocheting together,” she said. Eilish will perform at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, on Tuesday night (December 10th) as part of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour.
