Prior to the issue of NME’s Album of the Year 2019, the site has recently announced Bille Eilish’s WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? as the winning album this year. NME called the 17-year-old singer “a true once-in-a-generation star” and praised her blockbuster record for “brandishing a brand-new sound”.
2019 is Billie Eilish’s year. After the breakout of the first full-length album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, Eilish has achieved a plethora of success commercially and critically. NME is one of many influential music media that also jump on the Eilish bandwagon, naming WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP… the album of 2019.
“With an album recorded in her own bedroom, and a genre we’re yet to coin – WhisperWave? BillieCore? – Eilish was at the front of that movement, but no one has yet managed to copy her unique sound, in which she shuns the big pop vocals of her forebears in favour of hushed whispers, creating a listening experience of weird intimacy,” wrote NME about the rising star’s debut album.
