HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is an album by Billie Eilish, released in 2024. 7 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 27 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “BIRDS OF A FEATHER”, on 9 lists with a best position of #3.
Hit Me Hard and Soft, Billie Eilish's third album, came out on May 17, 2024, through Darkroom and Interscope, and once again it's a family affair: she wrote it with her brother Finneas O'Connell, who produced. It's alternative pop with a bedroom-pop heart, swinging from whispery intimacy to sudden electronic jolts, with Eilish's layered, harmonized vocals doing the heavy lifting.
"Lunch", "Birds of a Feather", "Chihiro" and "Wildflower" were the singles, and "Birds of a Feather" became a global number one and the most-streamed solo song by a woman on Spotify. Critics were all in, the album topped the charts in more than 20 countries and reached number two in the US, where all 10 of its songs made the top 40 of the Hot 100. It drew seven Grammy nominations, and "Wildflower" later won Song of the Year.
