Happier Than Ever

Billie Eilish's 2021 album Happier Than Ever is a second studio record that expands her minimalist electropop palette into richer arrangements and rock and soul influences. Produced with her brother Finneas O'Connell, the album moves between hushed, intimate ballads and more aggressive, guitar-driven crescendos, blending pop, pop rock, blue-eyed soul, and touches of pop punk across its tracks. Lyrically it has a confessional tone, addressing fame, relationships, and self-reflection, and it marks a shift toward more live instrumentation and stronger dynamic contrasts in her work.
