Billie Eilish Calls ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ the ‘Most Genuine Thing I’ve Ever Made’ on ‘Late Show’
Billie Eilish made the televised performance debut of 'Lunch' and talked about the inspiration behind 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' album on 'The Late Show.'
Eilish also noted that she’s willing to suffer for her art, describing waking up at 7 a.m. the day after the most recent Grammy awards and driving to some “random” place in Santa Clarita to spend six hours inside a 10-foot deep water tank, fully clothed, to shoot the cover of the album. In another segment, Eilish had a laugh when Colbert asked about a quote from her 2021 doc, The World’s a Little Blurry in which she described her family as “a song” in painting her musical upbringing. “I love her so much.” Then, while ticking off her early musical inspirations — which included such throwback legends Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Julie London and Johnny Mathis — Colbert asked if Eilish would ever consider recording a standards album and she lit up with a sly smile.
