Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft | Album Reaction & Review

Comments

how can you not like Chihiroooo

Artak

her best album, and possible best album of the year

Artak

aw i just saw this comment my condolences! but i know the feeling of losing a parent it took me a month to grieve for my father's death and it was the worst pain i have ever felt physically and mentally in my life. Sending you lots of love and i hope that you have grieved and feel better! 💕💕 Also love your videos ms clittminaj lol you managed to make me laugh you and dee's reactions. i remember this one time i was really feeling anxious and i was with my mom and sister in the car and i was watching your vid of a dee compilation and it really made my day and made me have a breather for a bit so i can have a break and continued by my day and it went amazing! 💖💖 LOVE YOU ALL ON HERE

StonePrime

The lyric at 16:45 just made me cry, because of my mother’s recent death. After a month, this was sonically boring to me however, it succeeded what an album is supposed to do-make you feel emotion.

ClttMinaj🤍

this album is better with headphones sonically the production is palpable it missing what a lot of artist refuse to do these days it feel like a complete body of work even to the point when she references her own lyrics really highlight her feelings. Most artist try to slap a million different sounds hoping one hits on tiktok and goes viral which make there albums super long and unorthodox. Her sound and music even from the way she sings softly is unique and you need to be really in the mood for it . Also imo none of her songs sounds how you expect it but I kind of like being lost in the sounds with my headphones up it sort of feels like a movie sound track or journey. It really feel like art is the only way I can describe it very indie very alt for sure.

This played out exactly the way I thought it would. I told you the fact that you're even reacting to Billie is surprising considering your music taste.

Jessina

Also I do think sone of these songs are definitely good for having in some movies as well!

MELANIN DES0

When Dee said the Lunch mv triggered her lmaooo

Skyra Cosmos

Billie is one of those artists that sound like the studio version or better live. She confirmed to be bisexual...she might say she's lesbian later on based on how she described women.

I'm Bored

The Diner was the only bad song. Like I don’t like it at all

Aaron Boone

BILLIE ATEEEE

Aaron Boone

Not a huge billie fan, but i actually enjoyed her last album "happier than ever". This one is for the most part too slow for me.

Carl Lofmark

I loved the album and am actually obsessed with the production. But Dee's faces are killing me lol glad she liked BIRDS OF A FEATHER at least cuz that's been on repeat for me.

Rahneian Madsgs

Yes I definitely agree! When you listen to this album with headphones or in the car there are nuances that you don’t catch otherwise. This album is definitely a 10/10!

Joi's Journey

The production to (The Diner) sounds like the kahoot music a little bit

Bobby🫶🏾

ive noticed on this album more than ever they really BURIED her vocals deep and you can barely hear her,another thing is she talked about how she recorded most of the songs live in a room and not in a booth so she said you can hear the music in the back playing in the mic too, maybe it was so loud they had to turn it down. idk.

BLONDED UPLOADED

Me being a fan and and knowing pretty much every single song she's made, I think this is her best album when it comes to songwriting and maybe even beat production. Although I do think that at times the beat could be lowered and her vocals need to come to the front and even the other way around at times because sometimes you can't hear her. But I'm a little biased because I can listen to almost anything and I love every single one of her songs💀🚶🏾‍♂️

Chris Brodie

i loved her debut album, thought were last album was less than okay (don’t kill me billie stans) but this??? you literally kept taking the words outta my mouth, definitely her weakest project imo

Prince Of Jades

Her voice is very soothing but something about this project felt off to me. Like why are you mumble screaming at me?? I’ll still probably listen a couple more times. I did the same thing as you with the last song Dee…I was about to download and then she had to slow it down 🥱

Thomas Andrews

“What genre is this… so I can AVOID it” LMAOOO I cannot 😭😭 I knew listening to this album that it would not be your vibe at all lmao

Justin

I feel like most of her songs on this album sound exactly the same, even the ones that started out up tempo and then it changes to that mellow slow type of feel but overall it wasn’t a bad album but it’s no replay value for me either

Najm Woodards

i’m a billie fan and this isn’t my favorite album but her other albums have more diversity i think this one is more slow past at times but i like it but i understand why you don’t like this as much

Yogirlrebbeca

i still think HTE , and DSAM was her best albums i liked this album a lot but i also enjoy sadder music for some odd reason even in the gym😂😂 my first listen too this album i was left confuse on what she was saying even with headphones so that’s not great i was looking for my happier then ever or what was i made for song moment where i get chills while listening to it but it didn’t happen at least for right now stuff tends too grow me . and don’t feel bad dee for not fully feeling immersed in the sad alt pop genre it’s not for everyone and that’s ok art is subjective to everyone 🖤🖤

ra

ngl i think her first album you'd like a lot more its very upbeat and catchy this one is more quiet and soft

m

the diner is her singing from her stalkers point of view that has been stalking her for years now

m

when i first played the album it also didn't fully click for me but there was something abt it that i liked and so i went back and it just clicked now i love it. i can see it not being everyone's cup of tea tho that's for sure. one thing i love about it is how short it is, can get through the whole thing in one sitting with no issues.

valerie

also the song name "chihiro" is a reference to the movie "spirited away"

saba_nana

personally i have never had that problem😭i can hear her pretty well on speakers and on headphones, imo happier than ever (her last album) is better than this one, they are both good but i prefer the previous one, she def did go for a dif sound on this tho

saba_nana

I think if you listen to this album in headphones you’ll have a new appreciation for it. It’s not her best but it’s pretty good. I added 5 songs but I had to listen to it a couple times I didn’t get it on my first listen. This might be a stretch but as far as pop music I think you’d like somebody like Lorde or Dua Lipa because they more upbeat and catchy but also not too cheesy

TJ

this isn’t me trying to request any songs *** For the blue song you liked, she has an unreleased version that is completely different and it stays the way you liked the whole time!

Tyler Alexander

Omg it’s crazy the difference in opinions, I’m not a Billie fan but saw some ppl on my feed hyping it up so I listened w headphones and it’s good. To me the production is so movie like, I like the airy and creepy/ ghostly vibes of this album. The production went so crazy all the diff sounds and layering. Now w that being said, some of the tracks r so movie like to the point where it’s dramatic and I wouldn’t listen day to day. Overall it’s obvious this album wouldn’t be for everyone but I think she captured the feeling she was trying to go for precisely. For me personally this album was about a 6.5 outta 10

neocity

Not us gaslighting dee 😂🤣🤣

Omar_q8

billie’s bi btw 🏳️‍🌈🥺❤️❤️❤️

FRANK ocean supremacy

Lol no prob, all jokes. But yeah in general, I prefer more upbeat songs but I definitely don't write off all sad songs. If a song is good, I'm gonna like it regardless of the mood or tempo

Dee Shanell

LOL mb I didn’t see that update and I was just talking about on your initial listens how you don’t really like the “sad songs” off the bat so I just assumed it would be the same for Billie and you also did say a few times you didn’t like sad music a few times in other videos so I just assumed that was another reason you didn’t like it. But yeah….😂glad to hear sos grew on you though!

Josh B

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

Omar_q8

Nahh you in it too! Lmao I love "soft" music, I listen to it everyday! Lol

Dee Shanell

Well she said diner had a interesting sound to it and she was bobbing her head to it 😂 but can’t lie BITTERSUITE it’s growing on me 😭

Tyy

Now why am i in it drag him i didn’t say any thing😂

Omar_q8

Yall be thinking yall know me, and you don't 😂 I have plenty of "sad" songs on my playlist, I don't like these songs because imo they don't sound good, that's it lol and I didn't like sza initially because I couldn't understand her, but I've came back and updated several times saying I like many songs from SOS...even went to her concert lol

Dee Shanell

Yeah she ain’t even like sza’s sad songs and they weren’t really sad so I knew she wasn’t gonna like Billie’s

Josh B

Dee is a gangster this is too soft for her😂🤣

Omar_q8

😂 yeah that was a big annoyance for me too. If that's the appeal and people actually like that they can't hear her, that's ridiculous lmao we shouldn't have to struggle to understand an artist nor wear headphones to hear what's being said

Dee Shanell

Lmaoo I'm cracking up at "meth or coke" 😂 but yeah I feel you

Dee Shanell

Precisely lol having to listen through headphones to enjoy it is ridiculous

Dee Shanell

I liked skinny (it’s a very interesting take to me on being skinny and it may be her best vocal performance on the album) I liked lunch (but i completely agree about the music video very cringe….but the song is kinda catchy) Chirio (however you spell it I kinda liked that one as well.) I don’t think this was a bad album but not too many songs I’m keeping myself and I really like Billie’s music Also there’s been rumored to be a part 2 to this so maybe she will be bringing a little more there but idk 🤷‍♂️

Josh B

Only song that has a chance of growing on her is lunch and that ain’t even likely 😂

Josh B

lol I always do that I gotta see if her opinion matches mine 😂😂😂

Josh B

Fr though😂😂😂

Josh B

Damn...not me deleting my comment by mistake. But essentially, I am not liking this album so far. I was saying that it would best suit me as a part of a de-stressing playlist before I go to sleep. But the fact that Dee doesn't even think that the songs are cohesive is sending me. 🤣 Also started dying when Dee was about to download 'Blue' and the beat switched and Dee was like.. '....👀😒uh oh...' 🤣🤣🤣🤣DEE!! loll not her making you download it againn. That last song was really a roller coaster.

Shanice

“oh she bout to switch it up awe shit🥴” I CACKLED💀

Mikey

That was probably more from seeing Billie in person than hearing the album 😂

Michel

I’m not convinced this is the best she could offer

WeAre TechZA

I'm seeing the exact same thing honestly. And I'm the same way. I do not listen to her albums but a few songs would really catch me.

Shanice

Omg this album was insane, I loved it, supposedly it’s gonna be a double album

Evan Root

I honestly wanna say that’s the point of her music tho. She sings quietly and airy on purpose 😭😂 with up tempo beats or dark like beats, to make her sound different and unique to her. I can appreciate the hustle tho…. lmaooo 😭 because seems like a lot people fuck with it and her as an artist. Honestly I didn’t care for this album too much either…like it had potential but then it just felt flat at times and some of the vocal stacking was all over the place, I wish it was mixed well sonically

Tyy

it’s a skip for me bruh 😂 She got one song with Vince staples that I listen to and I’m thinking she’s never ever gonna give me another song I like LMAOO I criticized her music before my friend showed me her album when she first came out and I was like bro this production is cool but I can not HEAR HER. We both are into music production and that album was so upbeat with interesting beats but her vocals were so light and in the background in the car or on speakers I’m like bro I CANT HEAR her 😂

Adam

I’ve never listened to an album by her, though I do like a few of her songs. This album was okay, I wouldn’t listen ever again, but it was okay. I’m over the whole soft airy whisper singing that she and some others do, but I’m also a huge fan of R&B and Soul..so I like vocals that have some..umph to them. It doesn’t have to be belts galore, but I also would like to understand what the hell is being said and not feel like I’m on drugs or crazy trying to grasp lyrics, but that’s just me 😆 The image I kept getting while listening to this is people on meth or coke or whatever drugs you snort or shoot up, in a field of flowers high as kites frolicking and running in circles smiling. Don’t know why, but that’s what I got from this and since that’s not me, I’ll pass on it 😂

Devron Love

As someone who been listening to Billie from before her debut album was even out and a big fan of hers… I don’t hate the album, however I definitely think it’s her least best. But I’m not disappointed because she has changed her sound up with every album, so far her first album is definitely the best imo and the second was amazing too so maybe this album will grow on me too. Usually with every album she has an upbeat type of song that has people jumping in her concerts so idk why this one didn’t have any. By the way, her brother finneas produces ALL her songs. I love that you’re reacting to new/different artists.

Mazin

Didn’t know you liked Billie’s music was surprised to see this reaction but was not disappointed 😂

Swaggy Shun

I listened to the album on speakers and couldn't hear most lyrics but when I used headphones it sounded clearer and better but I think an artist has to produce an album to be the same quality on any device that's my one nitpick with this one.

$4👾

“Flat” is the perfect way to describe how I was feeling while listening to this album 😂. Maybe it’ll grow on me since I liked some songs from her last Album (Happier Than Ever), but so far, it just sounds odd to me. I can appreciate chaotic music, but most of these songs just rushed imo.

reylt

I really vibe with this album after the 2nd listen. I totally understand Dee’s issues/critques with the album. Im an artist so for me personally this album gonna have me in my zone when im working negl😂

Delinda Arts

u can’t listen to billie eilish album without headphones ,and i know what u means her brother produces all of her songs he put her vocals back and the instrumental in the front that why it feels weird without headphones

Saif

Birds of a Feather is the main one I’m vibing with. Got a good summer energy to it, but I’ll have to let the album sit with me. Also glad that you actually liked imgonnagetyouback 😂 as a Taylor fan I’m happy at least one song worked for ya

Bryce Ratliff

Chile. Not one song caught me.

Zyria T

😂😂 salivating at the mouth is crazyy lmao but yeah without these lyrics, I would've been completely lost chile lol

Dee Shanell

I agree!

Ren

See I think happier than ever is more for dee than this

Khy

Dee I went to her listening party in La the way I was sipping on my mixed drink not knowing if it was the alcohol or just her cause I couldn’t understand shit . It was her . I’ve loved her past two project but this was a mess and I’ve tried so hard to like it cause when I was at the forum these people were crying , shaking , salivating at the mouth

Wilber Quiroz

I had a feeling that the last song you were gonna like but then not like it and then get thrown all over the place and not download it😂

MELANIN DES0

Ghostly forsure lol but ahh ok, that makes sense. I felt "The Diner" was a dark beat that meshed really well with her vocals so I see what you mean

Dee Shanell

Usually the production in her work is really good. The contrast with her airy and angel-like voice goes well with upbeat and sometimes dark beats. Ig she trying to go full angel but it just sounds ghostly and lackluster.

Janana

Ok good to know I wasn't trippin lol even though this isn't the typical genre I listen to, I tried my best to understand it and be open minded

Dee Shanell

😂 glad you listened with me! I'm curious though what you don't like on this project, since you usually enjoy her music. Is it the production?

Dee Shanell

Lmaoo damn, not drugs 😂 what don't you like about her work this time around though? Just curious

Dee Shanell

Hoping that this album grows on you 😭

Jio

😂

Dee Shanell

Ohh ok, wasn't sure if it was a bi-curious song or not lol interesting to know

Dee Shanell

This was my first time listening to an album by her. I don't mind sad music if it sounds good lol I got a few sad songs on my playlist. Just scrolled through it now, "So Sick" by Ne-Yo & "Another Sad Love Song" by Toni Braxton are two I play quite often actually lol

Dee Shanell

Lmao on Lunch I was like ohkayyy 👀

Dee Shanell

I like her airy and angelic like vocals but honestly this project was very forgettable and this is my second listen 🫤 I only really like 2 or 3 out of the 11 tracks. Plus the lyrics were all over the place at times and I agree the production was a little boring most of the album

raiin🩷

Valid, I can't remember what she was even talking about in Bad Guy lol but agreed, the production definitely was off imo also

Dee Shanell

I really like her previous work, but this album wasnt hittin for me. Sounds like ppl would to listen to this on drugs to get the effect i think its going for.

Janana

I like some Billie songs but this is not it. Thanks for doing this video,wouldn’t have got through it without you 😂

Danny D

“she in her stud era” 😭😭😭 im crying

Laila A.

I liked this album! Lunch and The Diner is my shi😂🔥 I feel like this album sounds better with headphones. And I’m pretty sure she came out as Bi a while ago

Destinycbn

In my opinion I loved this album. It’s right up my alley. Though I listen to literally every genre, it was a right mix for me. I already knew after listening to it that it wouldn’t be your cup of tea, but I love how open you are to different music and genres.❤️

Salima

Her debut album which had Bad Guy is probably her most upbeat Album, that was her most iconic era everyone remembers her for, green hair and everything. She won 5 Grammys for that album as well so I guess they agreed too

Cameron Rodriguez

And live she sounds the exact same….thats the one GAG she got! What was I made for my FAVORITE song by her EVER it truly brings thug tears

Jaden J

did you like any of the songs from happier than ever? im surprised you gave billie a chance since she makes a lot of sad music but im happy for this reaction!

Ren

This music video was ass! Why she dressed like young bow wow. And literally nothing was going on it was 0 effort

Jaden J

now who done turnt billie out???

Rell Davis

Yes girl! Even in Bad Guy! The chrous the only thing she pronounces! But i was really proud of her on wild flower!

Jaden J

This album was definitely experimental

sy

Really?! It was worse?! 😂😂😂

Dee Shanell

adding it back has me screaming 💀💀

malaki

Nothing wrong with that lol

Dee Shanell

Lmaoo I feel you. Whether we like songs or not are primarily dependent on the type of music we're typically exposed to though, as well as our own personal experiences. Given this, there's always gonna be songs we hate that other people love, and vice versa lol so I'm never shocked anymore when people like music I don't

Dee Shanell

I liked it alot shes so different and she really worked on her pronunciation. But the production is a little off…? Or just me?

Jaden J

now you know removing that song was messy 😭😭😭

malaki

Ngl I had to listen to the album first before watching your reaction💀💀💀

Salima

Taylor Swift needs to take notes. This album is great. This, Eternal Sunshine, and Tylas album are my favorite projects so far this year. Quality over quantity for sure

Jay

This album is boring sorry lol I don't get the hype with her

Sharma Sue

i was so excited for your reaction after she dropped

Promise Greene

LOVE THIS ALBUMMM W PRODUCTIONN

Nessa

LETS GOOO!!

Ren

omggg hi Dee, glad you're reacting to this

José Moreira

Lol it's not. Well at least it isn't that long 😂

Dee Shanell

so excited! i’ve been looking forward to it

Laila A.

Lolll ig revamped is a better way to put it 😭 it calls back to her 1st album but a more grown up version now that she’s 22 I feel I fw it

Macaih429

❤️

Dee Shanell

Heyyy

Dee Shanell

😂 it's not

Dee Shanell

hi dee!

itsisaac06

Please don’t be like the Taylor swift album

Kalen Harley

I COULD EAT THAT GIRL FOR LUNNNNNCCCHHH

julian

Oh this is a new direction for her? Lol

Dee Shanell

I’m scared to push play 😭, I love Billie

Cameron Rodriguez

I was delightfully suprised by the content of this album fingers crossed you like the new direction she’s going in 🤞🏾

Macaih429

Was not expecting this. I’m excited ☺️

Alyssa Mena

Let’s hope this isn’t another Taylor situation cuz that album dragged.

Cam’ron
