From the documentary to the book about her life, here are 5 news about Billie Eilish

At the end of the month, in theory, Billie Eilish she should have performed at the awards ceremony of the Grammy, where this year it received 4 nominations. In practice, the evening has been postponed to March 14, so to hear her sing live – perhaps – we will have to wait a little longer. But fear not: as we told you a few months ago, the pop star took advantage of the quarantine to bring out her more creative side, which she doesn’t have to see only with music, and now she is ready to tell her story through the images of a documentary and the pages of a book.

If you are curious and want to know more, here are 5 news that you may have missed about her, but that you absolutely must recover:

THE WORLD’S A LITTLE BLURRY

But let’s go in order because on February 26 on Apple TV goes out The World’s a little blurry, the first documentary on Billie Eilish with unpublished images that tell the story of the last two years of life. As you may have seen from the trailer, part of the story will focus on his career as an artist (from the awards ceremony to the behind the scenes of the tour, up to the latest singles), while there will also be an intimate and private side that will touch the relationship with his brother. Finneas and with parents. Let’s not forget that the pop star just turned 19 and that success overwhelmed her at a very young age: through the eyes of the director R.J. Cutler we will also see the doubts and insecurities (but also the continuous goals) of an adolescent who is no longer afraid of being herself and showing herself fragile.

The title of the film takes up the lyrics of Ilomilo, the song released in April 2020 extracted from the first studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? which tells of a love gone badly. Maybe, watching the documentary, we will find out who it is dedicated to, who knows …

THE PHOTO-BOOK

Here it is, it will be released all over the world on 11 May and will be published in Italy by Rizzoli. True, much has already been written and talked about her, but this will be the very first book edited entirely by Billie Eilish who will tell the story of her life through a hundred unpublished photos (many portray her as a child, like this one here).

In short, from Fingers crossed – the first piece written at 11 – a Therefore I am, a lot of water has passed under the bridge. But the pop star is keen to reveal even the lesser known aspects of her private sphere and in a recent interview she said she spent a lot of time just selecting the materials that will be published: “I hope you will love him as I do”. Hers is the classic American dream that has come true, but so far no one has ever told it through family albums.

THE AUDIO BOOK

At the same time as the print version, on 11 May an audiobook narrated by no less than Billie Eilish in person. She explained to the American press that she will be the one to tell – with stories, anecdotes and comments – her Californian childhood, her career on the rise and the moment we are going through. Of course, we are sure that his voice will make everything more unique and special.

NO TIME TO DIE

Her No time to die is a candidate for the Grammy as best song written for a film and will be the soundtrack of the homonymous film directed by Cary Fukunaga (release scheduled for 2021) with at the center the exploits of the famous 007 interpreted here for the last time by Daniel Craig. It is among the most anticipated of the year not only for the music and the cast (there will also be Rami Malek e Ralph Fiennes, in addition to Ana De Armas) but also because it is set between Italy, Jamaica, London e Norway. It will therefore be wonderful to see a piece of our country under the notes of Billie Eilish. The official video came out a few months ago and several artists took part in the single: it was produced by Finneas with Stephen Lipson, with orchestral arrangements by Hans Zimmer, Matt Dunkley and guitars by Johnny Marr (aka the legendary guitarist of Smiths). In a recent interview with GQ, the pop star and her brother said they wrote the song after reading the first 20 pages of the script, at night, in a bunk of their tour bus.

Here is the post with which he thanked the Grammy for thinking about this song:

ALL RECORDS

In 2020 Billie Eilish has released 4 singles (rumor has it that he has written and recorded 16 more for 2021) and, out of 6 nominations, won 5 Grammy. But not only: in the last 12 months the singer has received the beauty of another 49 statuettes, including 6 Guiness World Record, 3 Billboard Music Awards it’s a Brit, thus becoming the most awarded female artist of the year. Another incredible record waiting for the second album, the documentary, the books and – let’s not forget – next March 14, where it competes with Everything I wanted e No time to die.
