Billie Eilish fans received some major news today after brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell spilled that the duo were already working on her third album.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Finneas said he and Eilish were “really excited to start working on” the latter’s third album.
“We’ve got the net in the ocean, and we’re picking up detritus,” he told the publication. “And then you sift through all that, and you pick out the treasure, and then you have an album. I’m really excited. I think we’ve got a lot to say.”
However, Finneas was quick to shut down rumours that he and Billie would have the third album complete in time to release next year.
“This tour is this album,” he said.
“We’ve played some festivals, but we haven’t done Billie headliner solo shows, and we’re really excited to play Happier Than Ever on the road. So even if it’s in the can by February, we’ll [delay it] for a little bit. Because I like letting projects breathe…
“You don’t want to step on the toes of an album like that. You make your stuff mean less, I think, when you do that.”
