Billie Eilish Drags ‘Big Artists’ , for ‘Wasteful Packaging’ of Their Albums.
Eilish discussed her passion for sustainability in an interview with 'Billboard.'.
We live in this day and age where,
for some reason, it’s very important
to some artists to make all sorts of
different vinyl and packaging … which
ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets
them more money and gets them more…, Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
“I can’t even express to you
how wasteful it is,” Eilish said.
I find it really frustrating as somebody
who really goes out of my way to be
sustainable and do the best that I
can and try to involve everybody in
my team in being sustainable — , Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
... and then it’s some of the biggest
artists in the world making f------
40 different vinyl packages that
have a different unique thing just
to get you to keep buying more, Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
It’s so wasteful, and it’s irritating to me
that we’re still at a point where you care
that much about your numbers and you care
that much about making money — and it’s
all your favorite artists doing that s---, Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
Eilish's 2021 record, 'Happier Than Ever,' was released in eight variants, but they were created with recycled materials, 'Page Six' reports. .
Many people speculated that Eilish's
comments were aimed at Taylor Swift, prompting Swifties to come to the pop star's defense.

The dig at Taylor and other
similar artists about charts and
numbers was unnecessary and
detracts from her original point. , Swiftie, via X.
Billie herself put out multiple
vinyl variants (sustainably) so
her point about chart and
number obsession is hypocritical, Swiftie, via X

The album "proves her adaptability and mastery, regardless of genre," according
to the BBC's Mark Savage.
The genres overlap so seamlessly is evidence
of Beyoncé's technical mastery, but also of her
central thesis: that Nashville's marginalization
of outsiders, and black women in particular,
weakens the music in the long run, Mark Savage, BBC News music correspondent, via statement.
While some critics say that the album
should have been less than 27 tracks, .
Larisha Paul from 'Rolling Stone' said that "every piece" of 'Cowboy Carter' was "meticulously thought out," from the album's length to the artwork.
