In an effort to bring solar-powered, intelligent battery systems to her eagerly anticipated headlining performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL on Thursday, August 3, Billie Eilish is collaborating with environmental non-profit REVERB and the festival.
A temporary onsite “solar farm” will be used to charge the zero-emission battery systems partially powering Billie Eilish’s upcoming performance, which will be provided and managed by Overdrive Energy Solutions. This will serve as a powerful demonstration of clean energy technologies that can significantly lower live music’s greenhouse gas pollution and hasten the transition away from fossil fuels.
This ground-breaking initiative is part of the Music Decarbonization Project, which Eilish helped launch and fund, and is REVERB’s campaign to advance innovative climate solutions to directly eliminate carbon emissions caused by the music industry. This daring and revolutionary move will serve as a powerful example of an emerging clean energy solution that can help reduce live music’s carbon footprint rapidly.
“We hope and believe this will be a watershed moment for the music industry,” says Adam Gardner of REVERB. “There are real climate solutions available right here, right now. By showcasing this technology with one of the biggest artists in the world, on one of the most revered festival stages, we’re accelerating the necessary transition toward a decarbonized future, for music and beyond.”
The goal at Lollapalooza is to further demonstrate clean energy technology’s ability to power large stages while also driving the music industry toward a future less reliant on highly polluting diesel generators.
Billie Eilish has shared the music video for her new single “What Was I Made For?” The song will be included on the soundtrack of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming ‘Barbie’ film.
Eilish and her brother and collaborator Finneas wrote the song specifically for Greta Gerwig’s new film. Finneas also produced the song at his home studio in Los Angeles.
In the lyrics, the singer candidly expresses her feelings of being purposeless and unable to enjoy life over her brother’s piano production.
“When did it end? / All the enjoyment / I’m sad again / Don’t tell my boyfriend,” she sings in one verse. “It’s not what he’s made for / What was I made for?”
The song will be featured in key scenes throughout the upcoming ‘Barbie’ film, which will be released next Friday. It highlights the film’s important message and sentiment beautifully and poignantly.
Eilish announced the record last week via Instagram. “We made this song for Barbie and it means the absolute world to me. This movie is gonna change your lives and hopefully the song will too. Get ready to sob.”
The singer-songwriter has since provided more information about how the opportunity arose and described how Gerwig approached her to be part of the soundtrack.
“In january greta showed me and finneas a handful of some unfinished scenes from the film; we had nooooo idea what to expect at ALLL… we were so deeeeeply moved.. that the next day we were writing and COULDNT shut up about it lolll andddddddddd ended up writing almost the entire song that night,” Eilish wrote.
The Grammy-winning singer said in her conclusion: “To be real with you this all seemed to happen in a time when i really needed it. i’m so so thankful for that.”
Along with Eilish, the ‘Barbie’ soundtrack features Lizzo, Charli XCX, Nicki Minaj, Pink Pantheress, Dua Lipa, Fifty Fifty, Sam Smith, Gayle, Haim, Dominic Fike, Khalid, Kali, Karol G, Tame Impala, The Kid Laroi, and Barbie’s own Ryan Gosling.
Billie Eilish celebrates the end of her sold-out global Happier Than Ever, The World Tour with a special Livestream of her O2 Arena concert in London exclusively on Apple Music this Friday, September 30th at 10:00p EST / 7:00p PST. Consider it a gift to the fans who couldn’t see the tour in person—and for those who want to relive the magic.
Billie is the latest artist to take the stage for Apple Music Live, the live performance series on Apple Music giving the biggest stars in music a global platform to connect with audiences around the world. Launched this spring, Apple Music Live has previously featured exclusive live streamed performances from global superstars Harry Styles, Lil Durk, Mary J. Blige, and Luke Combs.
In a post shared earlier today, Billie told her fans: “I am so excited to bring the Happier Than Ever world tour to Apple Music Live. This is my favorite tour I’ve ever done and you can watch the show this Friday, September 30th only on Apple Music. I can’t wait for you to see it!”
“This show is such a gift for Billie’s fans around the world who weren’t able to make it out to witness one of the best concerts of 2022 and also the perfect opportunity to revisit the excitement for those who did,” said Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s Co-Head of Artist Relations and Apple Music 1 Host.
Billie’s career-spanning Apple Music Live performance features songs from her latest acclaimed album ‘Happier Than Ever, plus a range of fan favorites, including “bad guy”, “bury a friend”, “ocean eyes”, and more. Following Friday’s broadcast, fans can relive the full show anytime on-demand on Apple Music and in Spatial Audio.
To celebrate the performance, Billie sat down with Zane Lowe for a conversation about returning to the road, the inspiration behind her live set, what performance means to her, and everything fans can expect from the show. Tune in to the interview this Thursday, September 29th at 10:00a PST on Apple Music 1 at apple.co/_Zane.
One of the top streaming artists on Apple Music worldwide, Billie made history with her debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? which remains one of the most successful debut albums of all time by first-day streams globally and was the most streamed album of the year. Within the alternative genre, Billie is the Number One artist of all time on Apple Music worldwide. She is also the third highest-streamed female-identifying artist of all time. Upon release, her sophomore album Happier Than Ever’ broke the record for the most Pre-Adds in Apple Music history. Billie received top honors at the end of 2019 as Global Artist of The Year at the first-ever Apple Music Awards and also received the award for Top Album of the Year as well as for Songwriter of the Year with her brother FINNEAS. Billie was named an Apple Music Up Next artist in September of 2017 and has hosted two shows on Apple Music Radio — ‘me & dad Radio’ and ‘groupies have feelings too.
