Time and time again, one track is all it takes for a career to be set. For Billie Eilish, that track was "Ocean Eyes." The 14-year-old from Los Angeles recorded it with her brother Finneas for a dance class, posted it to SoundCloud without much expectation, and watched the internet lose its mind. There's a weightlessness to Billie's voice that is genuinely extraordinary — a clarity and emotional control that most singers spend decades trying to develop. "Ocean Eyes" is a perfect pop song built around almost nothing: her voice, some soft production, and a melody that stays with you for days. She's 14. We'll be talking about Billie Eilish for a long time.
