A Nice Pair – Billie Eilish

We loved seeing the Pride Parade yesterday in Perth and in celebration of Pride Month, today we’re kicking it off with A Nice Pair featuring Billie Eilish. We recommend pairing her latest album Hit Me Hard and Soft with the book Be Bad, Be Bold, Be Billie.

Hit Me Hard and Soft, released in May, is Billie’s third studio album. Just as the title suggests, this one hits you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically, while bending genres and defying trends along the way. We can’t mention Billie Eilish without mentioning her brother and collaborator, Finneas O’Connell, who also produced the album. Critics have praised the songwriting and production, and the album has topped charts in over 20 countries.

Be Bad, Be Bold, Be Billie, written by Scarlett Russell, showcases Billie’s unique approach to life and art. Refusing to conform to others’ expectations of what a woman should look and sound like, she does her own thing and refuses to be labeled or restricted. This book aims to inspire you to be yourself, deal with haters and stand up for what you believe in. Billie also uses her platform to advocate openness around mental health and work towards positive change in the world…given all of this, who wouldn’t want to be more like her?
