For some reason, it's 2010s day at the Exclaim! office. Three of us are sharing tales of flower crowns past as we rank a certain English indie rock band's discography (more on that next week). Meanwhile, our Slack has been ravaged by stories of cable-knit sweaters, A-line bangs and those mint-green Indie88 sunglasses. Billie Eilish must also be feeling the vibe, as she's shared her thoughts on how influential Lana Del Rey was to not only that era, but to music as a whole.
The artist appeared on fellow pop star Dua Lipa's At Your Service podcast, where the two had a touching chat about growing from your teens into your twenties in the public eye. Lipa asked Eilish about her favourite albums from her teen years, and what they mean to her now. Right off the bat, she brought up Del Rey's 2012 record, Born to Die.
"I feel that that album changed music and especially changed music for girls and the potential of what is possible," Eilish said after calling Del Rey her "girl."
Eilish went on to mention some other 2010s albums that had a heavy influence on her, including Because the Internet by Childish Gambino, Justin Bieber's Believe and Journals, and Wiped Out! by the Neighbourhood — fronted by her ex-boyfriend Jesse Rutherford.
