Billie Eilish Loves These 8 Artists And You Should Too

Duh.

Like the rest of the world, you're probably into Billie Eilish right now. You've been jamming to her (creepily titled) debut album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? non-stop, and other than asking questions like "Billie, who hurt you?" you're thoroughly freaked out and already hungry for more.

Well in a recent NME Interview, as well as a video with Teen Vogue, Billie revealed some of her current favorite artists and musicians who inspire her music and writing. So if you're looking to scratch that Eilish Itch™ while you wait for new music, these are some awesome acts to keep you satisfied.

1. Tyler the Creator

Billie's called Tyler her greatest inspiration, and her frequently deadpan vocal delivery and brooding hip-hop beats make that abundantly apparent. Billie finally got to meet her idol in 2018. Here's hoping for a collab?

Listen to: His acclaimed most recent album Flower Boy, and older tunes like "Deathcamp" and "Yonkers"

2. Tierra Whack

Billie says people hate her short attention span, particularly how she never listens to songs for more than a minute. So Tierra Whack's debut album, which is 15 songs, each exactly one minute long, perfectly satisfied her appetite for short, snacky tunes.

Listen to: Her 15-minute debut Whack World (as well as its accopanying music video on YouTube)

3. Crooks

If you're wondering who the mysterious voice throughout Billie's hit "Bury a Friend" is, look no further. According to Eilish, Crooks' mind is super out there and ahead of his time, so he's one to watch.

Listen to: His newest album Most Wanted, as well as "Woof!" from 2018

4. Kiah Victoria

Some might know Kiah from her 70's covers with Postmodern Jukebox, but now she's a full grown solo act and destined for stardom.

5. MARINA

"[MARINA] is the reason I write the way that I write" said Billie on the Welsh singer, and just like Tyler it's easy to see how. Her musical characters that populate her songs are mesmerizing, just like MARINA herself.

Listen to: Electra Heart is a pop classic, but look out for her upcoming fourth album Love + Fear.

6. Dominic Fike

This singer rapper has a bit of controversy attached to him, but that doesn't make Billie squeamish (honestly nothing seems to). She especially appreciates how "bad" he is and thinks he's yet to get the recognition he deserves.

Listen to: Fike doesn't have a full LP out at the moment, but give his debut single "3 Nights" a try

7. ZHU

In her "playlist of my life" for Teen Vogue, Billie mentions that she Shazam'd ZHU's "As Crazy As It Is" when it came on after one of her very first performances, and she's been hooked ever since.

Listen to: His banger of a debut Generationwhy, and "As Crazy As It Gets" (duh.)

8. Ariana Grande

Teen Vogue / Via teenvogue.com

I mean, not much to say here. You know and love her, and believe it or not Billie's got big love for Ariana and all her pop goddess glory.

Listen to: All you stans already have your favs, but in case you live under a rock, give thank u, next a listen

Happy listening!
