birds of a feather

“Bodyguard” — Beyoncé “Espresso” — Sabrina Carpenter “Apple” — Charli XCX “Birds of a Feather” — Billie Eilish “Good Luck, Babe!”

Billie Eilish also scored a nod for the album award with “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” making her the first artist to be nominated for the Grammys’ equivalent of best picture with her first three LPs; she’s up for record and song of the year too with her single “Birds of a Feather.”

Musical guest Billie Eilish performed “Birds of a Feather” and “Wildflower” with her band, including her also-famous brother, Finneas.

Eilish and Finneas, 27, use that sense of determination to try new things on “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” most readily perhaps in “Birds of a Feather,” which might be the first song they’ve created that could be described as a breezy summertime bop.

“I had moments of thinking, ‘Oh, my God, ‘Birds of a Feather’ is our worst song,’” Eilish says, her legs pulled up beneath her on a sofa in the dressing room.
