    Billie discusses fame, relationships, and the limelight in an incredibly personal, honest fashion. This album is the best release of the year and is a must listen. Every song sounds different, yet blends together in the most cohesive way possible. Happier Than Ever (the title track) is the best and most ambitious song on the album; a masterpiece.

    o album retrata a nova vida da Billie, evidenciando novas sonoridades, sem ficar presa nas do primeiro album. Usando como referência o ritmo brasileiro "bossa nova", lana del rey, e na canção com o nome do album é justamente a junção completa desse album, com suas letras incrivel e pespicazes.

    Both Eilish and Finneas have managed to produce a creatively different, but very strong contender to the highly acclaimed "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?".

    Angelic voice and unique songs, you could never be bored of it. Amazing story telling through the lyrics and flowing twists in songs Billie does not disappoint.
    She even had haters waiting for the album and clicking on notifications.

    "Getting Older" is not a good album opener, it's a nice song with quite cool instuments in the back - but the fact it's placed as album's first track is hurting it. "I Didn't Change My Number" is more powerful, even though Eilish is a little reserved here, she shows of her domination here - I like it. "Billie Bossa Nova" has a really nice lateback vibe. "my future" is really cool. It picks"Getting Older" is not a good album opener, it's a nice song with quite cool instuments in the back - but the fact it's placed as album's first track is hurting it. "I Didn't Change My Number" is more powerful, even though Eilish is a little reserved here, she shows of her domination here - I like it. "Billie Bossa Nova" has a really nice lateback vibe. "my future" is really cool. It picks up later to be more upbeat. Shame it took me so long to vibe to it. "Oxytocin" is really great! The beat, the lyrics, the delivery - perfect! It represents tracks that I love from Billie - upbeat ones, yet with really cool (mostly relatable) lyrics. Production is perfect here too, intro sounds kinda likes something took on mid-to-late 2000s. And Billie provides sucha cool vocals during post-chorus, I never heard her like that. "GOLDWING" can be really weird for first few listens, but you just can't deny - it's so easy to get lost in that "down-down-down" hook. "Lost Cause" is pretty amazing in its latebackness. I love those lyrics, I love singing along them!
    "Halley's Comet" is another slow song on the album, so not really my type. With it's auto-tune processed outro it reminds me of Madonna's "Dark Ballet", but the normal part of the song isn't that good. It's intro also kinda gives me Minecraft vibes, but song is passable the most. "Not My Responsibility" is a great video with a nice tune to back it up and nice message accross, but as an album track it doesn't have any replay value since it's spoken word. That's why I'm glad it connects with the next track - "OverHeated" - which has a kick, and use similar beat to its predecessor, but with more punch. The vibe of this song is haunting by Billie's vocals and matching beat and production. The chorus might be simple but it's okay. Billie's delivery anyway is perfect on this track, she speeds up in one point of the song, while previosly stopping to laugh. "Everybody Dies" is another slower track, but it's opening line "Everybody dies / Suprise, suprise" made me laugh really hard - so it passes.
    The next three song were released as album's singles, and that's great. "Your Power" is a late-back guitar-backed ballad, which as Billie said, reflects album the most - and I agree, not only because we share synesthesia (yes, this song and album gives me tang brown vibes), but also musically - it's late-back, but still kinda powerful. Simply perfect middle ground. "NDA" is the most Billie Eilish song that I've heard. It contains every element that made Billie famous and beloved. Alt-pop vibe, late-back vocal delivery, great beat with nice occasional synth melodies playing as post-chorus, and explosive, auto-tuned driven outro. Lyrically, I guess, it's the most diverse song on album - going from relationships to break-ups to stalkers, and simply fame and money. It also is connected with "Therefore I Am" - another great song. Really punchy beat with the right vocal delivery. And as always Billie uses auto-tune right, showcased by the last chorus of the song, where the change was needed - and she did it right!
    The title track took me a lot of time to click. Since the begining I loved its rock part, but that late-back part wasn't clicking at first. But now, when rock-only edit was released, I can't imagine this song without that intro - it feels incomplete. An album closer - "Male Fantasy" - I was anticipating to hear this track the most with "Billie Bossa Nova", but I got dissapointed again with slow pace and the beat and delivery that doesn't suit song's lyrical content.
    Simply, for many people it can take some time to get most of this record - to appriciate it. But still I hold "Oxytocin", "OverHeated", "NDA", and "Therefore I Am" as my most favorite tracks.    … Expand

    Head to toe a solid album, cohesive and tied up by the vocals, she definitely reached that timeless feeling but not with boring sounds, every song is different and no matter who u are u will find at least one song that its of your liking. Enjoy it from start to finish at least one time and if u ask me my favourite is Billie's bossa nova.

    So, whilst it may not boast songs that stick with you for months in the way that Eilish’s first does, Happier Than Ever feels like a project that will age more gracefully and, in years to come, it may even come to eclipse that which came before it.

    “Your Power” is the slowest-and-lowest moment on “Happier Than Ever,” but as a whole the album is softer, quieter, more languid than Eilish’s trap-inflected debut. ... The dreamy-jazzy mode suits her singing, which has never sounded better than it does throughout “Happier Than Ever.”

    Billie Eilish’s second album expands upon everything that worked the last time and pushes it in new directions, a creative muse restless and bold in its ambition. It may not always land, but this is a terrific release that proves Eilish’s staying power, demonstrating she’s more than up to the task of delivering on the promise of her debut.
