Music Review: Billie Eilish’s ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ is zealous outsider pop in a league of her ownwiped away those black tears for pop crooning and bossa nova ruminations on the expectations of fame, her third is an amalgamation of both, with bold new surprises.
In the last five seconds of “Skinny,” pulsating drums enter the equation, a beat that carries into the sapphic anthem “Lunch” — a soon-to-be fan favorite. The deceptively cheery sounding “L’amour De Ma Vie,” too, is true to the sort of the jazzy, lounge moments of her last album. “But I need to confess / I told you a lie,” a clear-eyed Eilish sings. “I said you / you were the love of my life.”singer go? “The Diner,” duh. Here, her haunted carnival ride sound returns. “Don’t be afraid of me,” she opens her gothic vaudeville She teases, “Bet I could change your life / You could be my wife.
“Hit Me Hard and Soft” is the loudest Eilish has ever been on record — no longer singing almost exclusively in gorgeous, hushed tones just above an ASMR whisper, buried underneath sweeping, innovative production. Clearly, she’s gained the self-assurance to belt above the mix.
