BILLIE EILISH talks to Zane Lowe on NMD about how HARRY STYLES influenced her to play her unreleased song, TV, live [21 July '22]
"I saw that interview you did with Harry, and how he was talking about how I've affected him. And it was actually at Coachella when he played that song that was unreleased at the time - Boyfriends? He was like, "This song is unreleased, it's not out, this song goes out to...", y'know, he kind of explained it"
"And I was thinking like, wow that's so cool, he's such a big deal, and playing an released song really opens the floodgates of, like, all these questions - will people shit on it? Will they hate it, will they love it, will it be a thing? Will they get bored of it, will somebody steal it?"
"And I saw that and I was standing there, and he started playing that song and I thought it was so beautiful. And I was in the artist's area at Coachella, and literally these motherfuckers were talking so loud, and I turned around and I was literally like 'shut the fuck up and listen to the fucking song!"
"And everyone was like, 'Damn! Jesus Christ....'.. But I literally was standing there and I was like, it's really vulnerable to play a song that is not out that is that vulnerable to you. And that is what I wanted to do, I missed doing that"
Zane Lowe: He spoke to me about how you'd influenced him without realising it to relax into himself and what he means to his audience, which was really beautiful of him to share that, and it was a really poignant quote.
"It really was"
Zane Lowe: But then you went out and played in front of a crowd in Manchester and played 'TV' unreleased, so in some respects you're saying you felt the same way, you were influenced by him that night.
Billie: "I was, yeah. Exactly. I was just like, oh wow that's really amazing that he's doing that, I miss that. I really miss that. Cos I used to do that. I mean, when we first went on tour we did every song we had written..."
New sounds from one of my favourites Ms. Greentea Peng.
Her style, her sound. It appeals to every sense in me. I love that she’s enjoying her pregnancy putting out such insightful and spiritual tunes. It’s blessed. Here for it, always.
