On a lot of songs (“myboy,” “idontwannabeyouanymore,” etc.) Billie Eilish sounds like Nina Persson of The Cardigans! “everything i wanted” is “Sick & Tired,” while the vaguely “up” songs are channeling “Celia Inside” and other gems from The Cardigans’ “Life” album.
The big difference is Billie’s producer brother Finneas is no Tore “Doctor” Johannson, and his bedroom is no match for MalmÅ’s Tambourine Studios. What an album that was!
