This album was such a strange experience, because for as many songs as I thought were absolutely incredibly written and performed by Billie and pushed the production styles of FINNEAS to new heights, there were just as many where it felt like both parties were asleep at the wheel. digital pressed to vinyl from the masters of non fill defects at MPO and people are gonna pay ridiculous money for it. records sound good overall with constant brush-like surface noise on both sides of each disc, but it’s not horribly distracting. However, the other day the 13th track of this album, NDA, popped back up on my main Spotify playlist, and it kind of blew me away. disc 1 is perfect, disc 2 is hideous especially side c my copy had a dark patch which looks like its come from a previous black pressing.Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term.

In an interview with Vevo, Eilish said that she wanted to create "a very timeless record", mostly being inspired by jazz singers that she listened to growing up such as Julie London, Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra.

Happier Than Ever was recorded at Finneas' home recording studio, located in the basement of his Los Angeles residence.

Reviewing in his Substack-published "Consumer Guide" column, Robert Christgau gave Happier Than Ever an "A" and applauded Eilish for conceiving original ideas about fame through "sheer candor", highlighting her lyrics on "Getting Older", "Not My Responsibility", and "Everybody Dies".

Your Power" arrived on April 29, 2021, as the album's third single with an accompanying music video. I am really looking forward to listening to more Billie Eilish in the future, because this album is great. Eilish co-wrote the album with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O'Connell, who also produced the album and played every instrument. In Robert Christgau's opinion, Eilish's songwriting had inspired Finneas to devise a sound for the album that is "calmer and less sprightly" than her earlier breakthrough work. A very good followup, this album takes much of the most promising elements from the debut and refines them.The eighth track, "Halley's Comet", is a ballad featuring stripped-back vocals, light synths, and a backbeat. Seven singles were released in promotion of the album: " My Future", " Therefore I Am", " Your Power", " Lost Cause", " NDA", the title track, and " Male Fantasy"; the first three peaked within the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100. For the first anniversary of the album's release, Eilish shared voice memos of her recording takes for "Billie Bossa Nova", "Lost Cause", "Your Power", the title track, and "Male Fantasy". Alexis Petridis of The Guardian noted the "uniformly great" melodies and vocals, the "less flashy" production in Happier Than Ever, observing a "more somber" tone.

It really feels like Billie is using her voice to actually say something, which is more than I can say for 99% of brainless pop acts. This song is the best representation of an angry, sad, but love fueled breakdown after a relationship. With the escalation of Billie's energy until she is screaming her heart out, you are really transported into Billie's life, her mind, her ideas, and her thoughts.The track reached top ten in 17 countries, including the United Kingdom where it peaked at number 4, becoming her sixth UK top five single.
