BILLIE EILISH TO PERFORM “BELLYACHE” LIVE ON NBC’S
THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON ON THURSDAY, MARCH 22
SOLD-OUT NORTH AMERICAN WHERES MY MIND TOUR UNDERWAY
“dont smile at me” EP
The New York Times/South by Southwest Music Festival: Acts That Stood Out
"This 16-year-old singer has a misty, sleepy voice that can take on a
jazzy quaver — part Lana Del Rey, part Amy Winehouse. Onstage, there was
absolutely nothing complaisant about her. As her band played folk-pop tinged
with some hip-hop brittleness, Ms. Eilish strolled, slouched and crooned with
precisely gauged insolence and nonchalance."
Interscope/Darkroom Records artist Billie
Eilish will be the special musical guest on NBC’s The Tonight
Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, March 22 at 11:35PM/10:35PM
CT. She will be performing “Bellyache,” taken from her
critically acclaimed debut EP “dont smile at me.”
“Bellyache” was recently featured in the current Music Issue of The New York Times Magazine’s “25 Songs That
Tell Us Where Music Is Going.” The magazine applauded the
young musician for her refreshing lyrics and songwriting technique, noting her
EP “feels otherworldly: solidly electro-pop, her gentle voice juxtaposed
with dark lyrics,” adding “our culture demands that young girls
crave validation, but Eilish and her cast of characters feel no such thing.
There are no apologies in her songs about the disappointments of love — only
poetic quips about potential lovers tripping over knives or the subject of a
song remorselessly burning the car of an ex-flame.”
After making a whirlwind stop at SXSW last week, where she
wowed critics and music fans alike, the 16-year-old continues her SOLD-OUT North
American tour, hitting Washington, DC tomorrow and the east coast
later this week. Already, critics are raving about her live show with the San Francisco Chronicle complimenting her “luxuriant
voice and commanding melodies,” noting “this would probably be the last
time she would play a room this size.” Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times recognized the arrival
of Billie Eilish as an indication that “pop's future has
arrived,” praising her for her debut “dont smile and me” EPas
“one of the year's most interesting and inventive pop records” that “could
put her alongside Lorde and Dua Lipa as young women driving the future of pop
on their own terms.”
Last month, ‘Ocean Eyes’ – also from her debut EP “dont
smile at me” – was officially certified RIAA GOLD in North
America. To date, “dont smile at me” has surpassed more than three-hundred-millionstreams
worldwide, proving this teenage pop-phenom, who has been championed by the
likes of Khalid, Lana Del Rey, Tove Lo, Charli
XCX, Lorde, Halsey and many more, is nothing
short of unstoppable.
Next month on April 21, Billie will also help usher in Record
Store Day 2018 with the release of anexclusive 7” pink
vinyl featuring an acoustic version of EP track “party favor”
plus an inventive acoustic cover of Drake’s international hit
single “Hotline Bling.” With only 2000 printed, be sure to head over to
your local record store to grab a copy while stocks last. For more information,
