Labrnith has enlisted Billie Eilish for a new song called ‘Never Felt So Alone’. Listen to it below.
Speaking about the collaboration in an interview with Eddie Francis on Apple Music 1, Labrinth said:
I’ve been a fan of Billie for a long time. I think she’s an amazing artist. I remember Noah [Cyrus] was doing some of the same shows Billie was in that time, and everybody kept on coming back talking about this Billie Eilish girl. Then I think the first time I heard her on a record was ‘bury a friend’. And I was just like, “This is a sick record.” I had met Finneas years before her. We just did the studio session together, and I just loved his vibe. I was like, “I just…” I don’t know. I was like, “I think I’m ready to make this idea into a song.” Once I started piecing the song together, I was just like, “Do you know what? I think this is the moment where I think Billie would be a sick addition.” I just sent it to her and Billie… I didn’t know she’s been a fan for years. She told me. When we spoke, she was like, “Lab, I’ve been listening to your music for years.” I was like, “What?” It was like, “Billie? What? You?” She was like, “Yeah, been a fan.” She was like, “I love this song as well, so I would love to do it with you.” That was big for me because I felt like we both get each other musically. It didn’t feel foreign to me, and I love what she’s done on the record.
Last year, Labrinth shared the singles ‘Lift Off’, ‘Kill for Your Love’, and ‘Iridium’. Eilish’s most recent album, Happier Than Ever, came out in 2021.
