Billie Eilish Discusses New Music and Touring in Exclusive Interview

Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, offering an intimate glimpse into her songwriting and touring process.

In conversation with Anthony Mason, Eilish discussed her latest album Hit Me Hard and Soft, her experiences touring without her brother Finneas, and her newfound confidence as a songwriter and vocalist.

Embarking on her “Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour,” the “Lunch” singer performed without her brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas, for the first time. “I’ve never done a show without my brother in my life,” she remarked, highlighting the significance of this new chapter. Finneas acknowledged this transition, commenting, “I was built into the show for years in an irreplaceable way. And I always kind of was trying to make myself replaceable.” This shift allowed the young artist to explore her independence as a performer, supported by her crew and fans.

During the interview, she also delved into the creative process behind her song “Birds of a Feather.” She revealed the challenges she and Finneas faced during its creation, “We wrote, like, the first half and it was super good. And then we overthought it for, like, months and months and months.” This experience led the performer to recognize her own songwriting abilities, increasing her writing involvement on all songs on HMHAS.
