Like the teen pop stars who preceded her, Eilish could also be described as precocious. The album’s giggly prelude titled “!!!!!!!” reminds listeners of her youth . But unlike some of her predecessors, she maintains her own creative vision — even while writing and producing music with her 21-year-old brother, Finneas, and recording in a house belonging to the actor parents who home-schooled them.
At a recent music business conference, former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl compared Eilish’s connection with her youthful audience to “what was happening with Nirvana in 1991.” “I’m kind of jealous of Billie a year ago,” she said in 2018, more morose than before. “I’m really not about to . . . pity myself for people recognizing who I am, because I’m really grateful for it. But, I don’t know, I would like to go to, I don’t know, anywhere and not be always recognized.”
