Billie may be nervous about the album but I've never seen a person so genuine about being themselves at so young an age.
It's nice seeing someone so enthusiastic about seeking their own truth, and encouraging others to do the same.

"We're lacking vocals" is so true. So many "singers" today are heavily processed in the studio and don't actually have any sophistication or artistry to their singing. And then they are completely lost when they try to sing live. There is some kind of generic sound that producers these days are creating and I hate it. Billie is so refreshing. Thanks to Finneas for his production that honours the richness and nuance of Billie's vocals.

She's really good at putting her thoughts and feelings into words. Great interview.

[PistachioDean]

Her runs and slides are so jazz inspired. I would LOVE a full jazz standards album from Billie.

I like what billie said about new artists finding their way. Let them figure it out.

[Valdagast]

What she said about being inspired... it reminded me of what Tolkien wrote about stories. He likens it to a perpetual stew, where things have been added over the milennia, and an author takes out a ladle and tries to serve it in a new and interesting way.

I have to be honest, I really only knew of her by name until now, but what an amazingly thoughtful young woman who seems so down to earth and so… just wow. Poised, engaged, willing to see where that takes her, inspired by others and clearly able to inspire others. As someone of a scientific background, her last bit in this segment reminded me of Isaac Newton saying “if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” The list of vocalists she said inspired her sounds exactly like this, and her willingness to inspire others from her work to try their own version as well.

Simply put, she seems the absolute opposite of narcissism, which in her field with her level of success, can take real resolve to maintain. Very Impressed.

This is what America should be. The promise of talent and youth leading the way forward with grace and smarts. What a great young woman she is. Inspiring even to old men like me.

Billie is such a humble, intelligent, funny human being. Love her💕

[lalah]

Fell in love with Billie’s voice before I even knew who she was. I’m wayyy older than her main demographic, but… you just love what you love.
💖✨

[ThrillRider]

And this is why I'm obsessed with her..she just real..raw..honest..you won't find an artist like this...💯💯👌👌😍😍♥️♥️

[JustinSimpson]

I screamed so hard when she mentioned Julie London as one of her inspirations, because I love the album “Julie is Her Name” and I hear a bit of Julie in Billie’s voice.

"i love singing. it's the thing i love most in the entire world. i love to sing so much and i always have." literally me she gets me!!!! she is so amazing. glad to hear especially her love for Ella!

[penelopepitstock]

I don't know much about her music but everything she said sounded very reasonable. I will check out her music!

[echakamonjok]

Billie just seems like a cool person. Love her and this her best album yet!! ❤️🔥

[batgurrl]

Excellent thoughtful interview with an excellent thoughtful singer. She is lucky to get the entire episode with an actual adult interviewer
