On March 9, a very young Billie Eilish of just 16 years old appeared for the first time in Barcelona in a Sant Jordi Club full to rage of young people in love with the new phenomenon of teenage pop, whose novelty was that she was darker, more original, more strange than usual. Thus began a love story that six months later made it Intergenerational phenomenon with an absolute full In the Palau Sant Jordi. Yesterday he returned to the place of the crime with his tour ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’, consolidated as a true diva of the new era of pop, and did not disappoint. Cheerful, very young and veteran at the same time, he infected his enthusiasm for twelve thousand people who did not stop chanting his name.
Billie! They shouted enthusiasts, while two technicians dragged a large sound box towards the stage, focused on the track. Was it in there? Apparently yes. Then the lights went out and a huge bucket began to rise and discovered Billie above. He sound was atrocious, and his indistinguishable voicebut the public sang for her. ‘Chihiro’, from his last album, was the theme in charge of turning on the fuse and goes if he turned on, the rumble was huge. The public did not stop singing the letters or scream every time the artist jumped on stage.
‘Lunch’ was the next theme of the repertoire, in a red and blue background. The sound stared his performance, but nobody cared in the least. The floor reproduced to Billie. The roof screens played Billie. And she moved and was everywhere, in one of those 360 degrees scenarios that force artists to involve everyone. And she got it. And he could not stop laughing, grateful for the euphoric response of his audience.
Dressed in her wide shirts already turned into a trend, with a huge print, and her upside down cap, she began to sing “nda ‘while The scenario spit bursts of fire. The charism of this girl is from another galaxy. ‘As you are. I love you very much, ‘he said before starting his first ballad. ‘Wildflower’. He put the hair on end, until he sat in the center of the stage and asked that everyone shut up for a minute to record their voice, sequence it, and create layers and layers until you configure a Billies polyphony. Of course, everyone paid attention, demonstrating the power of conviction of this artist. To finish this segment, another summit moment of the ‘show’, with ‘When the party’s over’., With the singer stretched on the floor.
Sometimes I was afraid to look at the public and see everyone with the mobile raised recording it, but so are the new times. The truth is that each song looked like an event. Billie Eilish fans are very fans of Billie Eilish. With ‘Day’ returned the dark singer, with bizarre atmospheres, who reached her culmination with ‘Bad Guy’, the song that made her megaestrella. Recording herself and her band with a mobile, the public did not stop jumping with one of the strangest hits in recent years.
The tender and sentimental ‘The Greatest’ rose again to Billie at the heights, as if it were a huge swing. Here, not even the public could silence their portentous voice. “These are difficult times worldwide, especially in my home, Los Angeles, and wanted to send love to everyone who suffers,” he said before starting an acoustic set with his two girls in the choir. With ‘Skinny’, a song that shows that it touches it very inside, made everyone cry. Until ‘Bury My Friend’ raised the room temperature again.
This closed the first part of the show, with The electronic madness of ‘Oxytozin’ asking the public to bend down to jump everything high that they could later. And they obeyed, of course, until Charlie XCX appeared on the screens to sing his collaboration with Billie in ‘Guess’. The singer suddenly appeared in a new and small stage to dance and jump on one night that the Sónar could not see and go if they lost it.
The concert closed with Billie Eilish sitting at the piano playing the songs that made it known to the world, such as the moving ‘Ocean Eyes’, with images of waves on the screens, how could it be otherwise. Finally, the delicate ‘What Was I Made for’, of the soundtrack of ‘Barbie’; and ‘Birds of a Feather’, demonstrating that generation Z has queen and is called Billie Eilish. If someone wants to know why the Beatles did not hear themselves live, they just have to come 60 years later to see a concert by the Californian singer.
