Billie Eilish It is no longer the 17 -year -old breeding that six made our eyes crack with his first album. He is 23 and although it may no longer be the novelty of the moment or look so gothic and tormented, his work leaves, evolves and the public responds, for example, for example, exhausting the tickets of two concerts at the Palau Sant Jordi (18,000 per batch). Only Spanish appointment of a ‘Hit me hard and soft: The Tour’ which represents a reference in the projection to a great scenario of a murky, delicate and intimate musical material.
That third album marked the pattern, this Saturday, in a show in which she dominated the painting, singing with neatness and feeling, with her sports attire and her cap upside down. Anti-Diva, without ‘coreos’ or athlete, running, sitting with the cross legs and lying in the long rectangle placed in the middle of the track (where two spaces were opened for musicians and choristers). Their songs do not talk about nonsense and there were, opening, the ghostly disc-pop plots of ‘Chihiro’, with their focus on the fiasco of a relationship, and ‘lunch’, about sexual attraction to another woman.
After a very celebrated ‘Therefore i am’, Eilish stayed silent for a while, walking through the boards, smiling, opening the exhaust valve of that total identification that floated in the room. There is a connection for emotional lanes, because she represents a different way of being in the ‘Star System’, because he sings to terrors and vulnerabilities and all that, but beyond we have excellent songs and an adventurous musical language.
Among the best cards, that brittle ballad called ‘Skinny’, Around the perception that others have of it (not exempt from irony: “Am I already acting according to my age?”). In ‘The Greatest’ he went from intimacy to a ‘crescendo’ spectacular, but there was a lot of subtlety in ‘Halley’s Comet’. And in the acoustics ‘Your Power’, a piece on the abuse of power of a political comment: “There are many people suffering and fighting, especially in my country” (she has supported the protests in Los Angeles, her city).
The electronic rush of ‘Oxytocin’ and ‘Guess’ (its duet with Charli XCX) was abrasive, with flares and laser. The past hits released them half a concert (‘Bad Guy’, ‘Bury A Friend’) and did not pull effect to set the climax, but I trust the powers of another of his best new songs, ‘Birds of a feather’, Cavilation about twin souls. In Sant Jordi, hearing the compliments thrown in choral mode from the stands (“queen”, “pretty”), there seemed to be many.
