We’re Freaking Out Over These HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Live Performances On Songline

If you thought Billie Eilish couldn’t get any more angelic, you were wrong. After weeks and weeks of fans begging for live performances of their favorite tracks from the singer’s latest album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, prayers have been answered. Thanks to Amazon Music, we now have the most perfect performances of album favorites like ‘WILDFLOWER,’ ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER,’ ‘SKINNY,’ and ‘L’AMOUR DE MA VIE.’ Narrowing down our favorites is just simply impossible, but we’ll do our best…

Amazon Music’s Songline

Going behind the scenes to listen to our favorite artists’ most special songs is one of the most exciting parts of being a fan. Amazon Music’s new digital series, Songline, allows artists to strip down their songs in an intimate setting that really showcases the art. With just a few microphones and instruments, the artists’ voices get to shine through in a new way we’ve never heard before. In this new series, fans also get a chance to learn a bit more about the featured songs through documentary-style dialogue, which fans often don’t get the chance to hear otherwise.

“Songline offers an opportunity for artist songwriters and their collaborators to showcase their songwriting process, detail their artistic journey, and reveal the stories behind songs typically hidden away in studios; by placing songwriters and their craft at the forefront of culture, fans can learn how their favorite songs and records were made, driving deeper connection with their favorite artists.”

Tom Winkler, head of publisher, songwriter, and society relations at Amazon Music, stated.

Billie Eilish and FINNEAS

To welcome the start of this new music series, Songline’s first guest is none other than Billie Eilish. Her voice needs no introduction or autotune, so she’s the perfect guest to kickstart this new series. Joined by her brother, producer, and co-songwriter, FINNEAS, and Billie (along with a handful of their friends on backup vocals) give the fans what they’ve been pleading for – acoustic sets of fan-favorite HMHAS songs and behind-the-scenes looks at the makings of each of the songs.

Up first? The devastatingly, hauntingly beautiful ‘WILDFLOWER.’ If we had to narrow the entire album down to just one favorite, this track would come out on top. One of the world’s favorite attributes about Billie Eilish is her vocals, which really shine through on this track. Believe it or not, they shine through even more in the Songline live set.

Watch it below and thank us later.

We love how Billie decided to bring in some backup vocalists – they all sound so perfect together! This may just be our new favorite version of ‘WILDFLOWER,’ but hey, who’s complaining?

If you end up in tears by the end of this performance (don’t worry, we did, too), then you’ll be happy to know Billie performed three other songs in the same style. You can watch her acoustic sets of ‘SKINNY,’ ‘L’AMOUR DE MA VIE,’ and ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’ on Amazon Music right now, or if you’re like us, you can re-watch them over and over and over again until we get to hear them live on the HIT ME HARD AND SOFT World Tour later this year.
