Singing in front of another person can be tough, particularly if you’re recording your own material and giving away a lot of yourself in the lyrics. So, when Billie Eilish was working on her new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, her brother and collaborator Finneas decided that it would be good idea if he taught his sister how to capture and comp her own vocals so that he could get out of the studio and leave her to it.
The revelation came during a lengthy new interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, in which Eilish and Finneas break down the making of their new record and their songwriting process.
