Billie Eilish announces new album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

Billie Eilish is set to make her eagerly awaited return on May 17 – with the release of her third studio album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, via Darkroom/Interscope Records.

According to the information about the new album on her website, it's set to be her "most daring body of work to date" and a "diverse yet cohesive collection of songs – ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end."

"[It] does exactly as the album title suggests; hits you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically, while bending genres and defying trends along the way," the description continues.

Billie once again wrote, recorded and produced the album with her brother and close collaborator FINNEAS, in their hometown of Los Angeles.

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  will be available on all digital platforms – and, in an effort to reduce waste and combat climate change, it will be release on all physical formats in limited variants on the same day, with the same track-listing, using 100% recyclable materials

You can pre-order/add/save the album here.

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT follows 2021's Happier Than Ever, and Billie's 2019 debut, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, which celebrated its fifth anniversary at the end of March.
