Two new Billie songs just dropped on a project called Guitar Songs!!

 

And here are the accompanying lyric videos. I think I prefer TV on an initial listen.

 

 

I was hoping the title would indicate more (the song)?Happier Than Ever-style tracks, oh well but these are pleasant enough!

More slow, depressing music from her. I’m still to find a song I properly like from her, happier than ever and therefore I am I’d give a 6/10 at best and the rest well below that.

Both tracks are sharing an A List spot on Radio 1 from today

Looking forward to hearing the studio version of TV, she debuted it live a few weeks ago and was incredible!

 

EDIT: wow, mind-blowing songs!!! so so so good, those lyrics <3 she's so talented

that coda on TV when she keeps singing "maybe I'm the problem" <3

They're both excellent tracks, with intriguing climaxes - although they make 'My Future' seem as commercial as Ed Sheeran. She really doesn't give a monkeys abut getting hits does she?

They are both really good. "TV" is my favourite of the two.

'TV' is my favourite of the two on first listen, I found some of the lyrical themes about friendships falling apart painfully relatable - the aforementioned "maybe I'm the problem" was hard-hitting for me too. The topical references took me by surprise a bit.

 

'The 30th' is a keeper too, that bridge *.*

They are amazing. The 30th is absolutely epic.

The 30th is the less terrible of the two.

So presumably there are going to be more songs on this EP? I guess it's just a stopgap until the next album proper.

Are there gonna be more? Thought it was just those two.

 

Totally in love with those 2 tracks, the songwriting is incredible for someone so young

And its almost too close to the bone for me

The bit about kinda forgetting about your friends when you meet someone new

Or the bit about yourself being the problem

Are there gonna be more? Thought it was just those two.

Well traditionally EPs are four or more tracks so I was expecting more but who knows

Not related to these two songs but I adore this performance from Billie and the legendary Debbie Harry of Peggy Lee's 'Is That All There Is? from a couple of weeks back. Billie has a great voice for this type of traditional pop song and she works so well with Debbie. She also performed 'Fever' solo.
