Californiana Billie Eilish, who despite her 23 years seems to have already lived many lives, closed her short but intense journey through Barcelona this Sunday night. And in just two nights he was able to bring together a total of 36,000 souls from all points of the Peninsula and also from Europe, and did it with two shows for memory.
A lot has changed that same artist who first visited that same stage six years ago, then with the injured ankle and no album in the market, and now turned into one of the most followed voices of the industry and endless awards to his credit, two Oscar included. “I hadn’t been here for a long time,” she remembered herself.
His ‘hit me hard and soft’ is a clear example of his growth
In this Sunday’s concert, the North American was shown without filters: with insecurities, fears, vulnerable and with traumas, but it is precisely what does one of her fans, who received her with a sound ovation when she appeared at the top of the great and visual 360 degrees located in the middle of the track. This chronicler can say that he had never heard such a thunderous ovation in that same pavilion.
But, on the other hand, Billie Eilish is also maturing with the years and experience, something very palpable in her new Hit me hard and softhis latest album, which gives name to the tour and in which he is romantic and combative in equal parts. A well balanced album, as the whole evening was.
Billie Eilish showed her musical skills, both with the guitar and piano
The Californian led the attendees to an emotional trip that began almost with the most absolute ecstasy with Chiro, Lunch and Ndain which surely more than one was surprised to see up to five musicians in the moats given the electronic component of that moment, but knew how to lower revolutions with Wildflower And above all, when the party’s overwho sang sitting. And that same philosophy did not change throughout the show.
If this tour stands out for something, it is also because of the staging, with a Sant Jordi who stained red in The moneyblue in Ilomilo And it was filled with lasers and fire in Bury A Friend, Oxytocin -Pidating the attendees to shout everything they could- and Guessin which he moved to a small stage located at the end of the track and with the green color illuminating the room.

‘What was i made for?’, ‘Happier than Ever’ and ‘Birds of a feather’, the perfect end
The sound of Sant Jordi left much to be desired – and what improved on Saturday – and when Billie Eilish’s voice was heard better it was in the ballads, which were present again with the emotional The Greatestwho came to sing stretched, and Skinny And the surprising TVwho played the guitar and accompanied by “two great friends”, the choristers Eva and Jane.
A very visual scenario was the other great claim of Billie Eilish concert
There was also space for a claim with Your powerin which he sent all his love to “my house”, Los Angeles, “already my country”, given the situation of the United States. And it is that over 95 minutes the American did everything: from touring the stage from above to bass who knows how many times until he becomes a camera and recording his musicians or some lucky ones of the first rows.
Another brand of the house is those songs that begin in a gentle and intimate way but after a in crescendo They reach their climax, as happened with L’Amour de Ma Viejo And above all Ocean Eyes To the piano, that with which everything began and that made Eilish a phenomenon a few years ago. A style that shows that, as in life itself, you can touch background but then it is forced to get up. Or, at least, try.
Billie Eilish also showed her piano skills
After thanking the attendees and dedicating the concert to their father, coinciding with Father Barbie What was i made for?a Happier than Ever in which he wore the electric guitar and Birds of A Featherthe most acclaimed single from his last album and ended with a Billie Eilish with a bouquet of flowers, the confetti by the air – or were bird feathers? – And many attendees dancing while giving their hands and formed circles, wasting enviable happiness.
Once the stage was empty, there was a question that flew over the room: how long will we have to wait to wait to return to the Californian? At the moment, there is no possible answer but, presumably, it will be a Billie Eilish changed but with the same essence of always. That which makes it more of us and that loves us so much.
