Billie Eilish has announced her third full-length album, a record that’s already stirred up some controversy due to its title Hit Me Hard And Soft.
The multiple Grammy and Oscar winner wrote on Instagram today that the album comes out May 17.
“So crazy to be writing this right now,” Eilish writes. “i’m nervyyyyy & exciteddd 🫣 not doing singles i wanna give it to you all at once :PPP finneas and i truly could not be more proud of this album and we absolutely can’t wait for you to hear it. love you love you love you.”
The album, as typical with the singer-songwriter, was written by herself and brother and musical collaborator Finneas, who also produced the album.
A press release following her post explained the title. “The album does exactly as the title suggests: hits you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically while bending genres and defying trends along the way.” The new music “journeys through a vast and expansive audio landscape, immersing listeners into a full spectrum of emotions. It’s what the multiple Grammy and Academy Award winner does best, continuing to affirm Billie Eilish as the most exciting songwriter of her time.”
The album will be available on all digital platforms, and physical formats will utilize recyclable materials.
