In an exclusive interview, the 22-year-old dual Oscar winner opens up about making her new album and how the process transformed her.
Under strobe lights, on the smoke-covered court at Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre stadium, the 22-year-old pop prodigy played her highly anticipated new album,“It was so embarrassing,” Eilish laughs. “I love performing so much and this wasn’t performing; this was me just standing there … I’m just like, ‘Here’s the album. I’m playing it. And I’m watching people hear it for the first time’. It was so scary and nerve-wracking. I was weirdly embarrassed.
Eilish says, “such big, huge moments in life” were happening over the course of making this record, that by January, when they finished it, she could barely recognise the person who first sat down to write it. Eilish can’t put her finger on why she’d resisted that honesty earlier, except that “it’s hard to see what’s right in front of you; it’s much easier to see what’s way behind you,” she says.The nature of being famous since your early teens is about looking back; this is an artist doomed – by her fans, by the endless loop ofher, by reviews and interviews and the very nature of celebrity – to revisit her past, answer for her teenage declarations, past decisions and recent creative choices.
