Billie Eilish became the first woman in Grammy history to sweep the Big Four awards: album, record and song of the year plus best new artist. The first artist ever to win the big four awards was Christopher Cross 39 years ago. Eilish took album of the year for her debut, 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?', becoming the youngest album of the year winner in Grammy history (she is 18), easily topping Taylor Swift, who was 20 when she won a decade ago for 'Fearless'. She's also the youngest record of the year winner, with 'Bad Guy', in Grammy history - before her, the youngest were Kimbra and Sam Smith (both were 22 when they won). Also, Eilish's collaborator and older brother Finneas (22), is the youngest winner of producer of the year, non-classical in the category's history. Lizzo took best urban contemporary album for 'Cuz I Love You (Deluxe)', Tyler, the Creator's 'Igor' won best rap album, The Chemical Brothers' 'No Geography' won best dance/electronic album, Cage the Elephant took best rock album with 'Social Cues', Vampire Weekend took best alternative music album with 'Father of the Bride', the late Nipsey Hussle won his first Grammy for best rap performance for 'Racks in the Middle', Tool won best metal performance for '7empest', Beyoncé's 'Homecoming' won best music film, former First Lady Michelle Obama's 'Becoming' won best spoken word record...

Late-night host Stephen Colbert made a joke about the new James Bond theme song that Billie Eilish had recorded (the movie will be out in April, the song is expected at about the same time). Colbert made a spoof-song based on Eilish's 'Bad Guy' video, witch lyrics - "James Bond/ You are a super spy/ Movie/ It's called 'No Time to Die'/ Get drunk, have sex and shoot a gun/ Being James Bond sounds fun/ He's a Bond guy... duh". A green-haired Eilish doppleganger whisper-sang in the spoof while bopping through scenes of artfully fired guns and men in suits, all while in a yellow sweatsuit similar to the one worn by the 18-year-old star in the original video.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell have composed and recorded the title track for the new James Bond film, 'No Time To Die'. Eilish, who turned 18 last month, is the youngest artist in history to write and record a theme for the franchise. "James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I'm still in shock" - she said.

Rolling Stone tries to, partly at least, define the 2010s by specific sounds that emerged. Not that those sounds didn't exist before, it's just that in the last 10 years they got main roles. RS heard: whisper pop sounds (by Billie Eilish), sounds as lyrics in rap (Future, Young Thug), chorus devoid of human voice […]

"I have so many things in my life now that I dreamed about when I was younger, so the fact I can’t go anywhere is OK to me because I’m busy doing my own shit. Also, I can fucking buck up and go places anyway and just be fine with getting recognised all the time" […]

"When I think about artists who grew up in a time where you could only have one genre and one look, and couldn’t change that ever ... that must have been torturous. It’s really cool that I get to do this in a time when it’s more freeing" - Billie Eilish said in a recent […]
