Holmes: Billie singing over a simple guitar on вЂњMale FantasyвЂќ made me wish that all of Happier Than Ever was this stripped down. Halliwell: The heavy-hitting chorus to вЂњNDAвЂќ has been stuck in my head for weeks and itвЂ™s still the highlight of the album for me (followed closely by the last half of вЂњHappier Than EverвЂќ). Renaldo: вЂњGetting OlderвЂќ (вЂњHalleyвЂ™s CometвЂќ deserves mention too).Д«ereznak: IвЂ™ve had вЂњLost CauseвЂќ on replay for weeks now. But IвЂ™m going with the title track, where the album crescendos. Sayles: A few choices here: the devastating вЂњYour Power,вЂќ the infectious philosophical excursion of вЂњTherefore I Am,вЂќ the organ-driven bounce of вЂњI DidnвЂ™t Change My Number,вЂќ which is a few hi-hats from sounding like something Mike Jones could have rapped on. What is your favorite song on Happier Than Ever?Д«aker: Really been digging the вЂњNDAвЂќ -> вЂњTherefore I AmвЂќ -> вЂњHappier Than EverвЂќ run near the end and feel like that trio really showcases the scope of the album. My son, age 3: Mama, thereвЂ™s pee in my bed. Katie Baker : Me, age 38: anyway it just stuck out to me that the only track listed in lower-case letters is the one called вЂњmy futureвЂќ because thatвЂ™s kind of like, a nod to her past, and the other day Finneas was saying tha. Plus, it sucks to be her ex-boyfriend.Д¬harles Holmes : When Pop Stars Fall Asleep, Where Do Their Mature Sophomore Albums Go? Most times, I donвЂ™t pity the artist, but Billie, somehow, made an overly repetitive album idea seem endearing. Billie is more mature, pensive, nostalgic, and brutally honest today when compared to her 17-year-old self. Lani Renaldo : Justin Bieber has Purpose, Billie Eilish has Happier Than Ever? It seems like there comes a time in every pop starвЂ™s life when the expectations of fame and desire for normalcy become the fodder for an album. Justin Sayles : The youths have discovered adult contemporary, but it kinda rules.ДЄlyssa Bereznak : Coming of age while famous is a tale as old as iPhones, but damn if Billie doesnвЂ™t tell it in the most melancholic way. Kate Halliwell : Another impressive, affecting album from Billie-but singing about how old she feels at 19 is not doing me any favors mentally. What is your tweet-length review of Happier Than Ever?
