HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (Pt. 1)

The Big Mates discuss Spirited Away, underwater photography, deer vocalisations, and HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas return to the subject of their third season and explore Eilish's third studio album, released in 2024. 

They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the albums, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

How has Billie evolved? How was Tom Cruise involved? What's the difference between a book and novel?  Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out Monday May 19th, and will continue and conclude the deep-dive into HIT ME HARD AND SOFT!
