Billie Eilish’s Songs Are Turning Into Lullabies for When We All Fall Asleep
Billie Eilish and lullabies apparently go together like birds of a feather. Billboard can exclusively announce that Rockabye Baby’s next cover album will be just that — gentle takes of the pop star’s music to help lull little ones to sleep.
Lullaby Renditions of Billie Eilish is set to arrive on Aug. 15 and will feature instrumental covers of some of the nine-time Grammy winner’s biggest hits across her three studio albums, plus a few extras. Among the 13 sleepy-time tracks are “Bad Guy” (When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?), the title track off Happier Than Ever and “Lunch” (Hit Me Hard and Soft), as well as her Oscar-winning “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie movie and 2015’s “Ocean Eyes,” the song she uploaded to SoundCloud that went viral, launching her successful career.
Rockabye Baby also shared a clip of the adorable animated video for its “Bad Guy” cover that highlights the brand’s use of xylophones, glockenspiels and more to create its sweet covers of hit songs. And for the adults, the visual also delivers some cute nods to the pop star’s own music video for her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit. In the Rockabye Baby video, the brand’s teddy bear mascot — now dressed in a yellow hoodie and wearing a snorkeling mask — crashes through a yellow wall with its friends on tricycles, and later drives around in a sports car with the license place reading “DUH.”
This is far from the first time the lullaby brand has taken on music by major musical artists. Rockabye Baby has covered musicians from a variety of genres, from hip-hop icons Wu-Tang Clan (this set reached No. 79 on the Top Current Album Sales chart in October 2020), pop stars Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, K-pop’s BTS, Latin global star Bad Bunny and more.
