When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
-
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) by Billie Eilish on CD.
A phenomenal debut—shockingly mature for someone who was still a teenager when it was recorded. Critics peg it as “pop,” but that label feels reductive. The record pulls from jazz, indie rock, and hip hop in equal measure. The songwriting is sharp, but it’s the technique that really stuns.
This is one of the rare cases where the CD outshines the vinyl. The low-end is so deep and clean that vinyl just can’t contain it. People call the album “loud,” but that misses the point—the production is meticulous. Billie’s voice may be whispered, yet those whispers cut through the heaviest layers of sound with absolute clarity.
