Bille Eilish: When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

So, you’re probably wondering, who is Bille Eilish?

A 17-year-old pop artist who has gone from a couple thousand views to millions of views within one year. Many people are asking HOW did a girl this age manage to make such a big impact in the music world.

Of course, you must know, Billie did not create her newest album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” all by her lonesome; she was actually recording basically every track from her home with her brother. The two have bonded through music for most of their childhood, creating an album with a unique taste to pop/hip-hop culture.

~ If you have not yet heard the album, I suggest checking it out on any streaming platform! Along with her intricate music videos!

 

Looking for new music? Find it here!

I always find it challenging to find new music that I actually enjoy. Maybe I’m just being picky, or maybe other people feel this way too? To make everyone’s lives a little bit easier I’ve created a list of songs ranging from what seems to go forgotten to new music that not yet recognized.

I’ll try to update as often as possible! 

XOXO

Cardi B has worked her way to the top of the rap game for the past few years and this year she captured success receiving the “Best Rap Album” Grammy award for Invasion of Privacy. The Bronx rapper was filled with emotion while excepting her award at the ceremony, thanking her team for the immense amount of support and help while creating the 2x U.S. platinum-selling album. The album contains some of today’s biggest hits such as “I like it” which was also nominated for Record of the Year.

After celebrating her success live on Instagram Cardi received backlash from many people on the internet, something we see often today. The competition for this year’s “Best Rap Album” brought a unique style of rap artists to the spotlight and acknowledged their work as some of the greatest hits of 2018. Although every artist could not claim the title of creating 2018’s best rap album, they can say they were one of the most memorable artists of the year.
