Billie Eilish – When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (CD)

Billie Eilish’s first full-length album, ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’, stands as a radical turning point for 21st-century pop. Released in 2019, this collection of tracks—crafted with her brother Finneas—melds eerie soundscapes, bone-deep bass, and whispered hooks into something both intimate and unsettling. Eilish’s willingness to embrace vulnerability and darkness is matched by her knack for invention: tracks like ‘bad guy’ and ‘bury a friend’ warp familiar genres, while ‘when the party’s over’ finds unexpected beauty in restraint. What sets this album apart is its refusal to play by the rules. Eilish’s vocal delivery, sometimes fragile and sometimes biting, cuts through layers of electronic minimalism and bedroom pop. The result is a record that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant, speaking to the anxieties and dreams of a new generation. Owning this album means more than just following a trend—it’s about appreciating a work that has already left a mark on the culture at large. For anyone seeking pop that dares to ask bigger questions and sound like nothing else, this album is indispensable.
