Billie Eilish, the global music sensation, is embracing a new chapter in her career, one that feels liberating and empowering. As she performs on her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, Eilish shares how stepping out of her comfort zone—both as a performer and songwriter—has unlocked unexpected parts of herself.
A Bold New Tour Without Finneas
Eilish’s current tour marks a significant shift. For the first time, she’s performing without her brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas, by her side. Finneas, who has been an integral part of her music, felt it was time for Eilish to explore her independence. While it’s a strange adjustment for her, it has also been freeing. “I’ve never done a show without him before,” Eilish admitted, “but it’s been a great challenge to go out on my own.”

Exploring New Musical Horizons
The tour coincides with the release of her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which features songs that highlight her growth as a songwriter. One track, Birds of a Feather, almost didn’t make it to the album. Eilish and Finneas struggled for months to finish it, overthinking every detail. Reflecting on the creative process, Eilish said, “Sometimes when I listen to it, I hear the struggles we faced, but I’m proud of what we achieved.”
Unlike her earlier albums, Eilish took a more active role in songwriting this time. Previously, she doubted her skills, comparing herself to her brother. “I’ve been writing music since I was 11, but I always thought I wasn’t as good as Finneas,” she said. This time, she discovered her voice—both literally and figuratively.
Discovering Her Vocal Bravery
Eilish’s vocal journey has been equally transformative. Taking singing lessons helped her unlock new abilities. She pushed her limits, hitting notes she once thought impossible. “It’s so liberating to realize what my voice is capable of,” she shared. This newfound confidence shines in Birds of a Feather, where she boldly reaches for challenging notes, delivering an emotional and powerful performance.
Adjusting to Independence
Backstage at her Chicago show, Eilish shared glimpses of her world—a close-knit crew, a room filled with rescue dogs for stress relief, and the absence of her parents, who no longer travel with her. While her mother, Maggie Baird, admitted it feels strange not being on tour, Eilish believes the change has been good for both of them. “She gets to visit and enjoy the show without it consuming her life,” Eilish joked.
Looking Ahead
Eilish’s career has been extraordinary, with accolades including nine Grammys and two Oscars, yet she’s still uncovering new aspects of her artistry. “I’m learning so much about myself,” she said. “My voice, my songwriting—it’s like I’m just starting to understand my potential.”
This liberating phase of her career reflects not only her growth as an artist but also her journey of self-discovery. For Eilish, the future is a canvas of possibilities, and her fans eagerly await what comes next.
