When Billie Eilish was a child, she wanted to be a photographer. While that didn't pan out, the superstar has fulfilled that interest, to some extent, at 19 with the release of her new book aptly titled
Billie Eilish.
In the 336-page hardcover book, which was released via Grand Central Publishing, Eilish delivers a concept similar to the mission behind a scrapbook, chronicling key moments from birth, childhood, rising teen star to global phenomenon. It serves more like a family album than a collection of overly curated images and that is what separates the release from other photo books. It screams Billie Eilish from beginning to end. "I don't want this book to feel like a chore, I want to feel like a photo book you might have of yourself," the singer wrote in the foreword — and that it does. "I don't want to spell out everything for you. I want to give you a big pile of pictures that speak for themselves."
