As summer draws near, the race for the season's signature song heats up. Just when it seemed like Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was poised to dominate, Billie Eilish has thrown her hat into the ring with a fresh contender from her latest album, "Hit Me Hard and Soft." The track, “Birds of a Feather,” made its debut at a public listening party at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and quickly sparked buzz among fans and critics alike.
"Birds of a Feather" marks a departure from Eilish's usual style, leaning into a breezy, neo-new-wave sound that's perfect for summer. The song features dreamy guitars and a catchy, tick-tocking beat that creates a carefree vibe. Eilish's lyrics, though, stay true to her signature blend of romance and eerie imagery. Singing to her lover, she croons, “I want you to stay till I’m in the grave / Till I rot away, dead and buried / Till I’m in the casket you carry.” It's a unique twist that adds depth to the otherwise lighthearted tune.
The excitement around “Birds of a Feather” suggests it could easily become a summer hit, despite Eilish’s intention to release it as part of the album rather than as a standalone single. “This album is like a family,” she explained to Rolling Stone. “I don’t want one little kid to be in the middle of the room alone.” Yet, it’s hard to imagine radio stations and streaming services not picking up on the track’s potential. Eilish’s previous warm-weather hits, including the Grammy-winning “Bad Guy” and “My Future,” prove she has the ability to dominate summer playlists.
Eilish's decision to unveil her new work at live listening events adds to the allure. With a second event scheduled at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, anticipation for "Hit Me Hard and Soft" is building. The full album is set to land on streaming services at 9 p.m. PDT, and if early reactions to “Birds of a Feather” are any indication, Eilish is poised to have yet another chart-topping success on her hands.
In a season already crowded with potential anthems from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Tommy Richman, and Post Malone, Eilish’s new track stands out. Its summery vibe and Eilish’s unique touch make it a strong contender for the song of the summer. As fans gear up for long, sunny days and warm nights, “Birds of a Feather” could be the soundtrack they didn’t know they needed.
So, as you start compiling your summer playlists, make sure to leave room for Billie Eilish. With “Birds of a Feather,” she might just have the song that defines summer 2024.
