This will be her second full-length studio album following her 2019 release, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

“Billie’s album, and my album, they won’t be a bummer COVID record,” Finneas said. “I have a desperate desire not to release them during COVID-19. It’s the vaccine record! I want it to be the album everyone’s out dancing in the streets to.”

I really appreciated this article. It informed me on so many new things to look forward to this year. I appreciated how they incorporated many different genres of music from Ed Sheeran to Travis Scott. I think anyone can read that article and get excited about at least one thing on that list. I am really excited for Billie Eilish’s album to come out. I have been listening to her music for a while so to get something new to listen to will be exciting.

I swear to god if Lana does not release in March after postponing from all the way back in September, I will talk to Lizzy personally, Chemtrails single was already so good. I think Paramore’s also rumored to release a new album this year even though Hayley just dropped more solo work.
