Glenn Francis of www.PacificProDigital.com The new music sensation in the USA Just when you thought the emo and gothic style in music was a thing of the past, Billie Eilish appears to deliver a slap of teenage reality. Discover the artist who is sweeping the United States.   Haven't heard of Billie Eilish yet? If so, keep an eye on the artist we present to you, the voice of a generation that speaks openly about mental, social issues and veganism. Her life dedicated to music has led her to succeed and become a teenage icon who has already collaborated with some of the greatest artists in the American music scene. Who is Billie Eilish? Billie Eilish is a 17-year-old girl, born in California, who has managed to succeed at one of the most important festivals in the United States, Coachella. Billie Eilish not only performs with a unique character, but also writes her own songs with the help of her brother. Her first studio work features very personal lyrics that have made this teenager reach the top in a very short time. Her first album was produced by her brother Finneas O'Conell and is titled When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? A very philosophical title that encompasses the 15 songs it contains and shows her particular way of seeing the world. Belonging to Generation Z or the so-called Centennials, Billie Eilish has become a pop star in the United States, nothing to envy our Rosalía due to her meteoric success and her own style. Very personal style Billie Eilish openly defends her right to dress and think as she wishes and above all not to establish gender labels. For her, everyone is free to dress as they please and clothing should not be designed for men or women. Gender is not what we wear, so she supports a gender fluid approach, something that has become her banner on social networks. Although she does not want to be classified in any style, she declares herself an absolute fan of fashion, especially Gucci, which is her favourite designer. Mental illnesses It seems that mental illnesses have always been a taboo subject, so the Californian wants to show everyone that it does not have to be that way. To do this, she speaks openly and fearlessly about them with the intention that other people understand that there is nothing wrong with doing so. Billie Eilish knows well what she is talking about since she has suffered from depression since she was a child and has been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, something she has not been afraid to confess. Since she was 12 years old, the illness has accompanied her and since then she has had to learn to cope with it even though her nervous tics are not too severe and are not noticeable at first glance. Proud vegan Many might think that the vegan movement is gaining importance because it is fashionable among some celebrities, but in Billie Eilish's case it is a different way of relating to the world and she defends it in her daily life. For Billie Eilish, veganism is a way of life, in several interviews with American media she has defended that for her it is not necessary to eat animals since there are many options in nature to feed oneself without having to harm any living being. Deep and dark music Her style is very personal and manages to evolve towards sounds very close to the so-called dubstep, a style in which the bass is very marked and the rhythms of the music are quite high. Her tone is quite dark and seeks to reach a teenage audience who, like her, loves music. Her videos, which maintain this already have millions of views on Youtube. Among her most famous songs are You Should See Me in a Crown and When the Party’s Over, all belonging to her new album. Although this has been the one that has brought her to the height of fame, the truth is that her career began when she was only 13 years old. Her first song was Ocean Eyes which went from being a class project to a complete success on the internet. From that moment on, other artists began to notice her and she started collaborating with big names in music like Khalid. In addition, she was responsible for providing the soundtrack to one of the most important teenage series of all time, Thirteen Reasons Why, broadcast by Netflix. Eilish's personal style is a blend of pop and gothic style that has reached millions of people worldwide. Her voice is a real discovery in the current scene where autotune seems to be the king of the hit lists. She has a distinct timbre that makes her voice attract millions of people around the world. So far her rise has been spectacular and in just 4 years she has managed to achieve what many artists take years to accomplish. Eilish has come to stay and to turn the musical world upside down and make many young people identify with her lyrics, her style and her way of seeing the world.
