Despite two Oscars and nine Grammy Awards, sold-out shows around the world and the adoration of a generation, Billie Eilish still worries about whether she’ll ever be able to write another song.

CBS Morning Interviewer Anthony Mason caught up with Eilish on tour at the United Center in Chicago to talk about the severe writer’s block that paralyzed her and her brother/producer Finneas last year and whether she minds winning more Grammys ; The singer has seven Grammys up for grabs at next year’s show, including record of the year and song of the year for “Birds of a Feather” and album of the year for “Birds of a Feather.” Hit me hard and soft.

Eilish let out a big laugh and said the Recording Academy’s ongoing awards were “the craziest thing in the world” and left her “overwhelmed, excited, honored and humbled all at the same time.”

However, the process of recording their third album Hit me hard and softShe was torn when Eilish, 22, said the siblings got “pretty stuck” at one point, a feeling she says you never get used to. “It happens and you’re like, ‘What the hell?!’ “I will never create anything again,” she said. After months of impasse, Eilish and Finneas said things got out of hand exactly on May 25, 2023, when they stumbled upon the beginnings of the song “Wildflower.”

“And then ‘The Greatest,’ and it became clear that we were telling the truth,” Finneas said of the time when things started flowing again. Eilish, who said she never considered herself a singer until recently, has started taking singing lessons, something she had resisted because she was unsure whether she didn’t feel like a “big singer” or not a teacher told her she wasn’t a “great singer.” . “If you’re a girl and you’re bad at something once, all the boys will forever think you’re bad at it,” Eilish explained about her insecurities as a growing athlete.

Eilish also took Mason on a tour of the traveling recording studio she sets up in her green room at each venue — which includes a piano — and explained that she jams with friends in the evenings after shows. She then selected two-second snippets from two recordings she worked on, including one that consisted of just her voice and a jaunty piano line, and another that featured her signature breathy vocals over a muted beat.

“It’s not even serious, it’s just… we played music and crocheted,” she said. Eilish will play the SAP Center in San Jose, California on Tuesday night (December 10) as part of Hit Me Hard and Soft The Tour.
