Finneas says they've started working on Billie Eilish's new album
Finneas has confirmed that they've started working on Billie Eilish's new album.
In a new interview with Vulture, Finneas, Billie Eilish's brother, has revealed that they've begun working on her follow up to last year's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?.
Finneas says, "We’ve started working on the new album, and I think the best thing we can do is stay out of our own way."
He adds, "The first album was pretty pure in its intention. We didn’t set out to write a darling album. Our only target was to make an album that we liked, to play live. I think that’s all we’re gonna do for the second. All the other things are side effects. You can’t aim for those."
Elsewhere in the interview, they talk about their new James Bond theme song "No Time To Die", which they worked on with legendary composer Hans Zimmer. Zimmer says of the Bond theme process, "I’m not going to say who, but I am going to get myself into loads of trouble, and I don’t care: I couldn’t get past the intro."
Zimmer adds of Eilish's "No Time To Die" track, "That’s the vibe. That’s the everything. It’s a perfect movie song: In its quietness, somehow, you have a huge landscape in front of you."
