Billie Eilish has released her highly anticipated third studio album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT via Darkroom / Interscope Records.
The album does exactly as the title suggests. Featuring 10 original and genre-defying tracks, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT journeys through a vast and expansive audio landscape, immersing listeners through a full spectrum of emotions. A truly cinematic, diverse, and cohesive body of work, that Eilish considers a “family of songs,” ideally intended to be listened to from beginning to end.
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is her boldest and most daring work yet, and what Rolling Stone hails as her “best album yet.”
The release follows two free album listening events in New York and LA, with all 16,000 seats filled at Brooklyn’s Barclay Center and 13,500 at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum.
Fans also came out to AMC Theaters across North America, where they had the opportunity to celebrate the album and hear HIT ME HARD AND SOFT from beginning to end ahead of its official release
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT was written by Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, her brother and long-time collaborator, who also produced the album
The album is available today on all digital platforms, and in a continued effort to minimize waste and combat climate change; across all physical formats in limited variants, with the same track-listing and using 100% recyclable materials.
