Billie Eilish will drop her new album on May 17th. That will be three weeks after Taylor Swift’s new album, which itself was spaced out from Beyonce’s latest release.
The album is called “Hit Me Hard and Soft.” No track titles yet — it’s early — and I doubt her Oscar winner “What Was I Made For” is included.
Maybe once Eilish’s album comes out we’ll get an announcement about another Universal Music Group whispering canary, Lana del Rey. She has a country album waiting for a launch. Maybe in twenty years all these ladies will appear in a “Golden Girls” reboot. Billie will make a great Sophia.
PS Why no singles? I think this is smart. Advance singles can be a blessing if they’re a hit. But if they’re not — witness recent releases by acts like Jennifer Lopez, Bon Jovi, and Zayn — they can be negative precursors.
