“Hauntingly beautiful.” – TIME Magazine
“It’s really refreshing to hear two of the music industry’s rising stars taking such a chance together.” – Pigeons & Planes
“two of the most talented artists under 21…” – triple j

After a successful release week for two of America’s most exciting artists, Billie Eilish and Khalid, the pair has released the official video for their stunning new ballad ‘lovely’. Directed by Taylor Cohen, the video concept was the brainchild of 16-year-old Eilish who wanted to portray the notion of being hopelessly trapped with one another. As The New York Times accurately observes “‘lovely’ is the song of someone inextricably attached or trapped.” The glass box represents a situation they cannot seem to escape.

‘lovely’ (with Khalid) entered the US Top 20 iTunes Single Charts last week and peaked at #1 in the iTunes Alternative Charts, also amassing more than 6 million combined streams on Spotify and Apple in its first week of release. The song is currently #1 on Hype Machine and #3 and #4 on Spotify’s US and Global viral charts and was the #3 most trending song on Apple Music upon release.
With the reveal of the official video for ‘lovely’ (with Khalid) today, the track continues to affirm Billie Eilish as one of the most refreshing global artists to emerge in recent years. With sold out tours in North America, Europe, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, twice over, Billie Eilish is returning to the road in June with festival appearances in the US.
