Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am review

She published Therefore I Am in her Happier Than Ever album 3 years ago. This song has an electric pop style. Her soulful vocal is very captivating.

This song is written in D minor. She sings in an irony and mischievous tone. She makes talking voice in pre-chorus shows she cannot careless and keep talking to you. The song is in between singing and talking and added different octaves, harmonies in bewteen as her other songs. Every songs she sings has layers. This song progresses forwardly with steady beat. Also, many effects are applied to this song such as distorted airhorn, gameboy sound, sounds from synthesizer, her little laughs and back up vocal layering. The repetitive distorted sounds creates tension and release.

What is the meaning of the lyrics? She really speaks herself up as a star. She does not want to be saled. She got her pride of being a star and keeps her distance to her fans. She has outstanding oral speaking which is not reasonable. The song is full of playfulness. It’s a song that is suitable to play in a club. I would say being over frolic ends up sending yourself to a terrible situation.

She sings every single day as Billie and Finneas and their parents are also in the entertainment business. A pop culture and teenage icon Billie makes her album in her own studio which is her home with her brother Finneas. She makes sure her recording meet the standard. She keeps thinking of her vocal part and would record it again if the sound doesn’t sound right.

She also directed her music video herself, she took it in Glendale Galleria which is a shopping mall in LA. The mv is filmed in a closed mall, she grabs everything from many shops in the mall. It is really like a ridiculous dream that you do not have to pay and get anything in a shop. Someone is catching her after she finished her mischief.

Overall, if keeping repetitive pattern in singing will be boring. She makes delicate techniques in the vocal. Everybody says therefore I am is excerpted the French philosopher René Descartes I think therefore I am. She does not just feel the music but think of how to perform her voice.

Billie Eilish's newest 2024 pop album "Hit Me Hard and Soft" is released. She keeps doing her best and making suprises to her fans.
