Hit Me Hard and Soft, Billie Eilish’s third studio album arrived on Friday, May 17, 2024, and already gaining some good reviews.
The 10-track project is said to be produced by the singer’s brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas. The recording comes after her 2021 compilation titled Happier Than Ever. Before his, she released When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go in 2019.
Hit Me Hard and Soft has songs like Skinny, Lunch, Chihiro, Bird of a Feather, Wildflower, The Greatest and many more. The songs reflect the experiences of early-stage relationships, breakups, sexuality and self-confidence.
The album is described as the pop star’s “most varied, mature album” so far. Billie did not release any singles ahead of the album but it will be recalled that she teased fans with aspects of the project at the Coachella Music Festival early in April this year.
With the project landing safely, Billie Eilish will embark on a marathon of tours to promote the new album. The singer announced the tour dates last month ahead of the album release.
