ICYMI, billieeilish stars on the cover of our In Real Life! Issue 🧡 Interviewed by stormzy, the two artists, beacons of excellence in pop, come together to discuss failure, rejecting the role model label and Stormzy's favourite Billie track.
awards, two albums, and two global arena tours that sold out in seconds under her belt, although one was cut short by a pandemic.
And so what better pairing to unpack Billie’s new album than two people who know their art, industries and aggressors inside out? This is what happened when Billie Eilish met Stormzy.

Billie: We made my first album in our childhood bedrooms. My brother’s room is tiny, there’s not that much equipment and we didn’t have a vocal booth or soundproofing, and that’s how we made everything up until working on. And for that record my brother built this home studio in the basement of the house, so we’ve been recording down there. It’s a step up because it’s actually a studio even though it’s still also at home. But the problem was always that it was home.
Stormzy: I feel very honoured to have been sent the record and to have heard it. And for anyone reading this, an album by someone like Billie Eilish isn’t just getting sent out to anyone before it gets released! So I was privileged to hear it. It’s always very interesting listening to an album when you are an artist yourself, because there’s what you understand it as and there’s the truth and perspective of the artist as well.
Billie: It’s tough and I’m still figuring it out. I like the internet. I like memes and shit like that. But no matter what I do, I can’t avoid myself. I’m everywhere. I feel sorry for all the people who hate me because they can’t avoid me either. Jacket BALENCIAGA. Hoodie and T-shirt ACNE STUDIOS. Trousers HAMCUS.

Billie: It’s conflicting though, because you think about people who don’t have any way to be heard at all, and you think about them, and you think about it from their perspective and they see people in the limelight and you can imagine how antsy they feel about others who have the opportunity.
Stormzy: I feel like your writing, even then, was so seasoned. It’s really mind blowing. Can we talk about the new album? It’s amazing. I just want to say that. The second album is such a difficult task. You’re split between sticking to what you know and venturing out and you’re figuring it all out. Because if the world loves you for the first album it makes it difficult to know how to approach a second album. But listening to this album it doesn’t feel like that.
Stormzy: It’s a song I’ve listened to a lot. When I listen to any music I need to have the lyrics too; to see what you’re saying. You are always saying something important. You have a really interesting perspective on things that I never considered before. If I had to sum up the album, I think my takeaway from it would be that you have an ability to be classic and timeless and also to be incredibly forward thinking too.
