Billie Eilish has said her song ‘What Was I Made For’ is one of her “best vocal performances I’ve ever given”.In an interview with Vanity Fair, Eilish has opened up about the making of her song, which she wrote for the Barbie soundtrack.Eilish said she “had this exact vision for what I wanted it to sound like, and I got it there.” She described aiming for whispery, “heartbroken” vocals, saying that singing in a belted or “choral” style didn’t fit the song.“I feel really proud,” she continued. “If I can be honest, I feel like it’s one of my best vocal performances I’ve ever given.”Brother and producer Finneas, however, said the singer was “harsh” on herself about the performance. “She’d go home for the night, come back the next day and say – I need to rerecord this line, this line and this line,” he recalled.Eilish added: “When I was starting out, I had one way of singing, and that’s how I sang.
Now I have all these choices, and I can play with my instrument. It’s really amazing and it’s really fun, but it’s definitely hard.”‘What Was I Made For’ was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for ‘Best Original Song – Motion Picture’.
