Music superstar Billie Eilish has sent fans into a frenzy, offering two new tracks with Guitar Songs. The GRAMMY Award winner will return to Australia this September for a national tour.
On TV, Eilish explores feelings of loneliness and isolation in the wake of the demise of a relationship, wondering if her former partner experiences any lingering thoughts and feeling abandoned by those closest to her. The track features a recording of the songs live debut in Manchester last month. The introspection and stripped back sonics continue on The 30th, an emotional cut that documents the fear and anxiety following a road accident.
“FINNEAS and I really wanted these to be yours as soon as possible. So here they are!! Performing “TV” on tour was such a highlight for us too, so we took the audio from the first night we played it in Manchester and put it in the song. I get shivers every time I hear it. Hope you love the songs and thank you for letting us share our music with you.” Eilish shares.
Guitar Songs comes off the back of the release of Eilish's acclaimed sophomore album, Happier Than Ever. Written in full by the 19-year-old and her brother FINNEAS who produced the album in Los Angeles, the sixteen track release features the previously released singles Your Power, Lost Cause, NDA, my future and Therefore I Am. The record sees the singer flirt with new sonics, moving away from her signature twisted dark-pop sonics, instead dipping in and out of genres. Offering a modern take on old-Hollywood glamour, the singer has swapped out out dark and spine-chilling imagery for light and warm tones, showing a lighter side this time around whilst also commenting on serious themes.
Kicking off in Sydney on September 13, the Happier Than Ever Tour will continue on to Brisbane and Melbourne, before wrapping up in Perth on September 30. The singer will also stop over in New Zealand prior to commencing her Australian tour, taking to the stage in Auckland on September 8. Eilish shared on social media, "AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND I'M COMING BACK I CAN'T WAAAAAIT."
