Billie Eilish created a global fan frenzy in recent weeks after she put up album-hinting billboards across the world - including in Auckland - and made all of her followers on Instagram close friends. Now, the news is finally out: the artist is releasing new music.
Billie Eilish announced on Monday her highly anticipated third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, will be released on May 17.
The news arrived via Instagram, where Eilish shared the album artwork, which depicts the pop singer floating in a body of water after being ejected from a door. In the caption, she wrote that she would not drop singles in advance of the release.
“I wanna give it to you all at once,” she captioned the image. “I truly could not be more proud of this album.”
In the album’s press announcement, it was revealed Eilish’s new work will bring a rollercoaster of emotions to fans, while “bending genres and defying trends”.
