“It's really refreshing to hear two of the music industry's rising stars taking such a chance together.” – Pigeons & Planes
26 April 2018 (Toronto, ON) - After a massively successful release week for two of the most exciting young artists, Billie Eilish and Khalid share the official video for their stunning new ballad “lovely” today via Darkroom/Interscope/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. 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 another. Watch the video for Billie Eilish’s “lovely” (with Khalid) HERE.
As The New York Times accurately observes, “‘lovely’ is the song of someone inextricably attached or trapped.” The glass box representing a situation they cannot seem to escape.
“lovely” (with Khalid) entered the U.S. Top 20 iTunes Single Charts last week and peaked at #1 in the iTunes Alternative Charts while 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, #3 and #4 on Spotify’s U.S. and Global viral charts, and was the #3 most trending song on Apple Music upon release. Listen to “lovely” (with Khalid) HERE.
With today’s 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. In addition to sold-out tours twice over in North America, Europe, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, Eilish is returning to the road this summer with several festival appearances including Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and one Canadian stop at Osheaga in Montréal this August.
Billie Eilish is currently working on her debut full-length album, the follow-up to her hugely successful debut EP don’t smile at me.
