Billie Eilish’s third studio album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” is less than a month away, and ahead of its release, the two-time Academy Award winner and nine-time Grammy winner is opening up about how the new project reminds her of her first album.
Eilish, 22, who released “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” in 2019, said working on “Hit Me Hard and Soft” has felt like “coming back to the girl that I was.”
“I’ve been grieving her,” she said in a cover interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday. “I’ve been looking for her in everything, and it’s almost like she got drowned by the world and the media. I don’t remember when she went away.”
Ahead of the new album, the “What Was I Made For?” singer said that she isn’t releasing any singles from it.
“I don’t like singles from albums,” she said. “Every single time an artist I love puts out a single without the context of the album, I’m just already prone to hating on it.”
“This album is like a family: I don’t want one little kid to be in the middle of the room alone,” she added.
