Billie Eilish has shared an acoustic take on ‘L’AMOUR DE MA VIE’.
It’s been another amazing year for the songwriter, whose album ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT’ was released to outstanding acclaim.
Named Apple Music’s 2024 Artist of the Year – the first artist to ever win the honour twice – she closes 2024 with a majestic acoustic performance recorded exclusively for the platform.
The performance is online now, alongside a Q&A with Apple Music’s Nadeska Alexis in which Billie reflects on a crucial year in her artistry.
Discussing her recent LP, she says:
“Honestly, I feel the most proud of this album, like more than anything I’ve ever made and that we’ve ever made. And I think we both were in agreement about that. I was super excited for it to come out. But I was also like, I want to keep this for myself. But it was one of those things that I…because I loved it so much, because Finneas and I really, you know, specifically tried to make an album that we would have made even if no one would ever hear it. We tried to make an album we would love, and not for the outside world necessarily, but obviously, we were going to share it, but just more in a way of not trying to please or try to make something specific or do it for anybody but ourselves. And because of that, we made our favourite thing we’d ever made.”

Performing with sibling and collaborator FINNEAS, the two breeze through an intimate acoustic set. She says: “It’s a completely different thing, and it’s also so lovely for me because this is really what I like the most in terms of just singing. You know, I love performing more than anything, but singing is really where it all, like in this kind of intimate setting, is really where it all started. And Finneas and I spent a year when I was 14 and he was 18, you know, going to different labels and different companies and playing acoustically for them. And I honestly loved it. And I just, I loved being with my brother and singing together. And so that’s really where we come from. And so it’s nice to always come back to that.”
