Forget the Sharpie’s: Billie Eilish and Finneas Say The New Album is Done — Coming Soon?

Share

Everyone’s talking about the weird bit on the SAG Awards last night with Billie Eilish and Melissa McCarthy.

McCarthy insisted Eilish sign her forehead with a Sharpie while they were presenting an award. It was sketch that no one liked, wasn’t funny, and didn’t work — like most of this god awful show.

Melissa– please, you are a terrific actress. Don’t ever agree to anything this again.

But no one is talking about what Billie and brother Finneas told the Netflix red carpet person about their new album.

“It’s finished,” Finneas announced. “It’s done.”

So we should be seeing album number 3 — that’s 3 since 2019, Adele — pretty soon. Universal will likely let Taylor and Beyonce, and RCA will let Timberlake get their releases out of the way first.

Will the new album include “What Was I Made For?”. The Grammy winning, Oscar nominated hit is the O’Connells’ biggest thus far. But maybe it will just wait for a Greatest Hits package.

This is all good news. Katy Perry’s obviously working on something. This is a productive year, except for Adele. The music needs more releases by big names, and pronto!
