Finneas has hit out at Pitchfork over its review of Billie Eiliish’s new album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’.Eilish’s brother and frequent collaborator co-wrote the follow-to 2021’s ‘Happier Than Ever’, and is credited as the record’s sole producer.Eilish’s third studio effort earned a four-star review from NME, who praised the project for being “bold” and “confident in its execution”.
“In trying to write an album for herself, she’s made one that will resonate harder than anything she’s done before,” it concluded.Pitchfork was less favourable, however – awarding ‘Hit Me…’ 6.8 out of 10 (Eilish’s first two albums earned scores of 7.2 and 7.6, respectively).The publication wrote: “Every song on this big album has some detail worth hearing, but the insistence on multipart epics and ballads kills the momentum […] The much-hyped live instrumentation is more window dressing than it is integral to the artistry, and Jon Castelli’s brightly saturated mix leaves the extraneous elements to fight for space in the more crowded sections.“All these enhancements cancel each other out until ‘HMHAS’ is just another good record from Billie and Finneas – certainly tasteful, and arresting sometimes, but all the session musicians in the world can’t make it a masterpiece.”Finneas has since responded to the review while replying to a fan on TikTok.“Nothing cool about writing a positive review of an album everyone likes – they’ve gotta have an angle,” he wrote.“They gave [Lana Del Rey’s debut album] ‘Born To Die’ a 5.5 – it’s their whole hater-ass bag.” Check out the screenshot below.Finneas slams pitchfork for their review of Billie’s Hit me hard and their rage bait reviews ethics generally “nothing cool about writing a positive review of an album

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Eilish revealed that before landing on the official title of the album – which was taken from what she misheard as the name of a Logic Pro synth – she nearly named it ‘Patheticville’ from a scene in The Office.The term is used by the character Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) in the third season of the US TV series when she and the rest of the crew from the show are making fun of a speech given by Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) at Dunder Mifflin’s “beach games.”“I thought it was patheticville.
