“Eilish is just 22 but she brings old fashioned melody and musicianship, and an exquisitely controlled voice to songs that feel personal and intimate, but also speak to a huge audience.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times
Billie Eilish sees her biggest album debut of her career with her critically acclaimed third studio album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, already amassing more than 500 million global streams and debuting at #1 in Australia, and 13 other countries and counting. More chart data will be revealed this week.
Written entirely by 22-year-old multiple GRAMMY® and two-time Academy Award-winning Eilish, alongside her brother FINNEAS who produced the album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT features 10 tracks, and has surpassed the first week numbers of her multi-award-winning, groundbreaking, and history-making 2019 debut album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? which has amassed more than 69 billion streams and debuted at #1 on the ARIA Album Charts, selling 17.8 million units globally since its release.
In its first week of release, “LUNCH” became the #1 most streamed song globally on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes. The official music video for “LUNCH” – directed by Billie Eilish – was the biggest debut for a solo song this year on YouTube. Billie Eilish’s social media following has grown by an impressive 23 million and counting since the announcement of HIT ME HARD AND SOFT last month.

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT was released on May 17 via Darkroom/Interscope Records.
Since her “Ocean Eyes” breakout in 2015, 9-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Billie Eilish has made history as the youngest artist to receive nominations and win in all the major categories at the 62nd GRAMMY® Awards in 2020, receiving an award for Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album, and is also the youngest artist to write and record an official James Bond theme song, “No Time To Die,” which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022. In 2023, Eilish also wrote and released the critically acclaimed song “What Was I Made For?” for the Greta Gerwig-directed motion picture Barbie, which has since won an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, two GRAMMY® Awards for Song of the Year and Best Song Written For Visual Media, and has solidified Billie Eilish yet again in the history books as the youngest person ever to win two Academy Awards.
This spring, Billie Eilish will embark on the North American leg of her HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR, with dates across Europe and Australia in 2025.
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is out everywhere now.

*The tour wants to give fans, not scalpers, the best chance to buy tickets at face value. To make this possible they have chosen to use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange. If fans purchase tickets for a show in the U.S. or Canada and can’t attend, they’ll have the option to resell them to other fans at the original price paid. To help protect the Exchange, the tour has requested all tickets be mobile only and restricted from transfer. This applies to all shows except those in Colorado, Illinois, and New York where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated. Please note, a valid bank account or debit card within the country of your event is required to sell on the Face Value Exchange. More information on how the Ticketmaster Exchange works is available here.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
