The debut EP from 15-year-old electronic pop singer/songwriter
Billie Eilish,
dont smile at me arrived in August 2017 from the Interscope label. Produced and co-written by
Eilish's older brother,
Finneas O'Connell, the eight-track release features the lush and lonesome single "Ocean Eyes," a song that first went viral for the Los Angeles-based artist in 2016 and brought her to the attention of Interscope.
Eilish's sound is sleek, sometimes quirky, and often characterized by clever wordplay. Subsequent singles "watch" and "COPYCAT" were issued in the summer of 2017 in advance of the EP's release. ~ Timothy Monger
