Lana del Rey or Billy Eilish

When i often think of modern day topp popular music, i cringe and i am not feeling it, though there is exceptions, i'm not all ignorant pop music of today but fairly useless on current music quizes. The exception is Lana Del Rey Billie Eilish, Tame Impala and Riannah i love all four.


But on this poll i focus on Lana and Billie, whom are top notch (Here is Billi co-oped with a brother), but Billie Eilish is highly respected in general. So is Lana del Ray, her music gives me goosebumps, wich always is a quality sign. I dont listek to either often, but remembers to chech in now and then too look keewl. And sometimes to keep me updated on current sounds.

So is it Lana or Billie forcyou

Lana del Rey - three CD albums in my collection

Not my cupS of tea

Billie

Only vaguely heard of both, if they happen to have been mentioned in the news.... last summer, I was chided by my sister when I referred to Billie Irish when she asked me if I watched their Glastonbury set...

Actually the whole Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd-album was really something special. My admiration for Lana has only grown since I wrote my comment from about a year ago. Still I expect even greater things from Billie/Finneas in the near future. Talents like theirs combined is rare. 

I don’t listen to either, but know a little about the Eilish sound. I had no idea what del Rey sounded like and had to sample a few on Spotify. If those are representative, I’ll have to vote for Eilish. She’s got more original and interesting stuff happening in the music. Del Rey came across as a contemporary-pretty-voice-pop. It’s nice enough, but not engaging for me.

My experience with contemporary popular music is very limited. Aurora is one of the few exceptions since her music has a lot of elements that I care for. Susanne Sundfør might partly fit in there, but she moves more outside the pop box, while still having songs that could fit in any playlist of these days.
