Her ascendancy has been made possible by big corporations as much as internet fame
BILLIE EILISH is a very modern kind of pop star. She’s both a product of the internet and someone who’s been carefully nurtured by the big corporations. She makes music that sounds as if it’s been expertly finessed, but she and her brother wrote, recorded and produced all of her debut album, “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” at home on their own.
All of that would just be guff, of course, if Ms Eilish’s music were no more than cleverly packaged awfulness. But it’s not. “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” owes a clear debt to Lorde and to Lana Del Rey , but it also sounds fresh and imaginative. It’s richly melodic, and her resistance to overloading the production means those melodies have room to shine. There are also moments so odd that they leap out.
