"Don't Smile at Me"

If you pay any mind to what's new in music, or spend as much time searching the new release tab on Spotify as I do, you've probably heard the haunting yet enchanting voice of Billie Eilish.

Her first album "Don't Smile at Me" debuted back in 2017 but is just now getting the recognition it so rightfully deserves.

She showcase a clear understanding of who she is as a person with songs like "COPYCAT", but also let's her vulnerabilities slip in. "idontwannabeyouanymore", the second song on the album following "COPYCAT", is a passionately honest take on the struggles of accepting yourself in a world full of judgement on your appearances.

My personal favorite, my boy, has a very jazzy style and takes an interesting look into harmful relationships. She says "my boy's an ugly crier, but he's such a pretty liar/and by that he said he'd change", a phrase any person who has been with an unhealthy partner is all to familiar with. It is quite fascinating how at such a young age she is able to use her music to bring to light unhealthy habits and realize there needs to a change.

Eilish covers a broad span of topics throughout her album and can truly appeal to all who appreciate music (and more importantly meaningful lyrics). If you have not heard her music yet I highly suggest taking a listen.
