Billie Eilish Releases Two Surprise Songs, Says She Wants to Release Album Next Year

etonline.com:

Billie Eilish officially released two surprise songs on Thursday, the previously heard «TV» that she performed live on tour last month, and a brand new tune, «The 30th.» Both releases come from Eilish's new two-track EP,, which is now available across all digital streaming platforms. «Finneas and I really wanted these to be yours as soon as possible,» Eilish said in a statement. «So here they are!»Fans first heard «TV» as an unreleased track performed at the Manchester stop of Eilish's Happier Than Ever tour on June 7.

The soft, reflective track builds in sound and volume before culminating with recorded vocals from Eilish's audience -- a 21,000 capacity venue -- the night she debuted the song.

It also marked the first time she performed a song prior to its release in over four years, an act of courage she says was inspired by Harry Styles' Coachella performance in April. «It's really vulnerable to play a song that is not out that is vulnerable to you,» she told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe this week.

Styles performed his unreleased track, «Boyfriend,» while headlining the music festival. “I was just like, ‘Oh, wow. That’s really amazing that he’s doing that.’ I miss that," Eilish said.The Manchester performance garnered attention for Eilish's powerful fragility in lyrics and vocals, along with its callout of the U.S.
