Billie Eilish’s new album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is finally here, and it’s got us in our feels as her albums often do. Eilish’s latest release showcases her and brother/ frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell’s exploration of new sounds.
ICYMI, Eilish announced her third studio album in April 2024, and she prefaced the album by stating that she’s “not doing singles” and going for a completely different sound than her last project, Happier Than Ever. That same month, Eilish sat down with Zane Lowe and said that she and Finneas made this new album as if they had no intention of releasing it, giving her the courage to explore different sounds. It’s apparent throughout the entire album that Eilish gave her all to every track, sharing some of her most vulnerable thoughts and being real AF. As we approach summer, Hit Me Hard And Soft has given us all the captions to get over a recent breakup, shade a summer fling, or hint at a crush.
