![]() ![]() Eilish’s intimate, breathy vocals over the driving beat, her eye-rolling, nose-bleeding, blue-haired look in the video, and the flip of the lyrics (“I’m that bad type… might-seduce-your-dad type”) took her stratospheric. But within a few months, something happened: in 2017, her EP Don’t Smile At Me made a splash with young fans, and a year or so later Wish You Were Gay and Bad Guy smashed her into the mainstream. At her early gigs she had to sit outside on the pavement before shows, not allowed in because she was underage. She uploaded it on to SoundCloud, where it gained a couple of thousand listens and almost instantaneously landed her a management deal. She’s 19 now, a music veteran of six years, ever since she made a track, Ocean Eyes, with her songwriter elder brother, Finneas O’Connell, known professionally as Finneas, for her dance class. Such bombastic attitude is forgivable, because Eilish is a teenager, albeit one of the most famous in the world.
