Beyoncé and Billie did it first, Taylor made for 10-15 years only single albums, especially after Billie debut album in 2019 with no radio friendly songs where each song were kinda unique and creative in pop charts I saw more pop artists making albums like that again..

[@dragobonacich6459]

I just wanted to clarify that vinyl records do actually have two sides "A" and "B", what Billie was referring to is called a double album. Also when songs diverge into others on a record, that's what we know as "Concept Album" and that's what she did on "Hit Me Hard and Soft". I love her very much, she is definitely one of the most talented artists in the music scene and I know she will have (once again) a successful tour

[@Notturnoir]

But would 44 mins be the cut off for a single record (both sides)?

@@Notturnoir Yeah, at 33rpm you get about 22min per side.

[@JesusH.Tap-Dancingchrist7328]

It's only her that doesn't get the difference

[@0ldman0tis]

you are correct. i would like to add that these days, regular albums are often spread out across two discs (four sides) to maximize the audio fidelity and overall loudness by reducing the time per side. this practice allows for more space between the grooves resulting in a louder cut, better quality and more volume.

She has universal appeal and her personal evolution has been admirable and inspirational. She shows up as herself. She stands in her power, and, by doing so, paves the way for all people who might not fit into traditional 'standards,' to also show up as themselves without shame. I have to admit, when I first heard this angelic voice and 'Birds of a Feather,' I was stunned to discover that this was Billie Eilish. Even this 'shock factor' sends a message to those who might be going through awkward phases, that they too can evolve and surprise themselves and the world. I wish her all the best. I also think it's so sweet that she and her brother create these songs ...definitely birds of a feather that stick together!💞
