Billie Eilish has given an update on how her new album is going.The artist told Associated Press while on the red carpet with her brother and collaborator Finneas that the creative part of making the follow-up to 2021’s ‘Happier Than Ever’ is “almost done” but it still might be a while before it’s released.“It’s happening, we are almost finished by days with this album,” she said. “But it’s not coming out soon.

We’re just done making it. It’ll be soon-ish.“It’s [taken] longer than we’d like, as always. It takes time to get the record made and get the artwork done.”“A song can take an hour,” added Finneas, “‘What Was I Made For?’ took a night and maybe another morning and then it was done.

But [making] an album, taking many songs and stitching them together and making sure it’s a cohesive piece is always going to be an undertaking, to make sure all the songs are given their due and paid attention to.

So it always takes a long time.”Billie Eilish gives an update on her new album to @AP:“It’s not coming out soon…soon-ish.” pic.twitter.com/7IOoN9xTZL— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) January 6, 2024Last month, Finneas told Mr Porter that the LP was currently “85 per cent done”, but admitted that the process had been “challenging” this time around.The article noted some of Eilish’s recent interviews in which she has spoken about experiencing a period of writer’s block.
