After dropping her Hit Me Hard and Soft album in May, Billie Eilish was officially announced as Spotify‘s most streamed monthly artist. Taking viewers behind the scenes of the lead single “Lunch,” Billie Eilish and Vevo released a new installment of Footnotes for the music video today.
Inspired by icons like Biggie, Tupac and the Spice Girls, Billie describes the “Lunch” music video as a nostalgic tribute to the 90s music videos she grew up watching. For the video, Billie aimed for simplicity and focused on giving the video a vintage feel, as if it were shot on an older camera.
In the installment, Billie reveals that longtime choreographer Matty Peacock came up with the dance in the video after first hearing the song. She also shares that she created the hook first, but needed time to sit with the song before she was able to finish it.
Within footnotes, Billie also discusses how she and her producer, Finneas, were very experimental with sounds for the new album. She explains that Finneas would find cool things online that inspired them, and that the album would be very different had they not used sounds from all the “weird little toys.”
Finally, she adds that directing videos is a lot harder than it seems, but it’s something she’s been passionate about since she was younger. She describes her director of photography, Rob Witt, as amazing, so collaborative, and everything she could want in a DP.
