Billie Eilish is teaming up with Rosalía for their highly-anticipated collaboration,
and now, Rosalía is updating fans on why the song hasn’t dropped yet.
What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver Music reporting from my home
studio, and just in case you forgot, Billie Eilish and Rosalía have a song coming out
together…
I mean, we’ve only been waiting for it to drop for about a year now.
You heard that right!
Rosalía took to Twitter on March 10th 2019 to share a picture with Billie and also announced
that she and Billie had been working on a song together.
If you happen to be bad at math like I am, that’s literally over a year ago.
I’ll get into the details in a second, but first, be sure to subscribe to our channel
and hit that notification bell so you never miss a new music update!
I mean, you wouldn’t want to be the last to know when Billie and Rosalía finally do
drop their song together, right?!
Rosalía’s original tweet started with, “Can’t wait to finish our song 🖤” followed
by part of the caption in Spanish, before signing off with “love you B”
Now before I get into the full tweet, let me just preface this with I don’t speak
Spanish, so apologies if the translation isn’t perfect you guys, but I understand the Spanish
part translates to, “Sharing the studio with you yesterday inspired me sooo much”
I mean if that isn’t the sweetest tweet ever, I don’t know what is!
Although some fans thought this was an unlikely pairing, the collaboration actually makes
a lot of sense!
Billie Eilish has been a longtime Rosalía supporter, even before everyone else hopped
on the train.
In an interview with Billboard, Rosalía opened up about how Billie supported her from the
start.
She said, "When I released 'Malamente,' Billie was one of the first huge artists who shared
the video.
She has been there from the onset.”
She continued to tell Billboard about the collaboration, saying “Billie and I had
a session together, totally independent from her other projects.
We wrote with her at the piano.
We created a great idea for a song and had a great time."
Can you imagine being a fly on the wall of that studio?
Goals!
What’s particularly exciting about this collaboration is that the mixing of the two
genres demonstrates how musicians can be diverse yet still work very well together.
We’re fortunate to live in an era where artists actually strive to work with other
musicians who will push the boundaries of what kind of music they are typically comfortable
producing.
But Rosalía is no stranger to huge collaborations.
The singer has also collaborated with other huge artists including J. Balvin and Travis
Scott.
Of course, fans have been more than ready for Billie and Rosalía’s collaboration
to drop, but before I tell you what the hold up is, comment down below and let us know
what you think the new song will sound like.
Will it be an upbeat banger like Rosalía’s other hits, or will the song have a more somber
vibe like Billie’s usual style?
Let us know down below and keep watching, because Billie Eilish isn’t the only major
artist Rosalía has an upcoming collaboration with.
Okay, moving on!
In January, Billboard caught up with Rosalía again at the 2020 Grammy Awards, and when
asked, she took the chance to gush about what she loves most about Billie Eilish.
“I think that she is a super talented musician…and she has this pure soul.
She's open, and when I was with her on the studio, I remember she was super inspired
and she was sharing all the time.
She was playing on the piano.
She's a very creative mind and a very good friend.”
When asked how close they were to finishing the track, here’s what Rosalía had to say.
“Let's ask Billie…
Cause I recorded my vocals, and I'm waiting, I'm waiting that we have maybe more time to
go to the studio and finish it.
Cause, yeah, I think that it's a very beautiful song that we have together.”
Okay, so that was about 3 months ago.
Now, Rosalía is once again opening up about the collaboration.
In an interview with Apple Music’s Beats 1 with Zane Lowe, Rosalía shared what she’s
been doing during this time of social distancing.
According to Variety, Rosalía said, “During these two last weeks I have been trying to
finish the Billie Eilish collab…
I think it’s getting quite closer.
I think that the arrangements, I think that yesterday I finished the arrangements.
I feel like the production, the sound design, is almost done, so I just need that Billie
maybe sends the vocals and they send me the ideas that they want to add because we are
there.”
The good news is that the song is getting closer to being done!
No rush Billie, we know that great things take time!
And good things come to those who wait, so everyone… let’s be patient!
Like I mentioned before, Rosalía has another collaboration for fans to look forward to,
with none other than…
Travis Scott!
In the same interview, she admitted that she almost released a collaboration with the rapper
last month.
This wouldn’t be the first collaboration for these two artists, as Rosalía and Travis
Scott worked together last year when she was featured on the remix of his banger “Highest
in the Room.”
In regards to the more recent collab with Travis, she said, “I was supposed to release
a song with him last month that is for the clubs — super aggressive — that I’ve
been working on for a really long time.
[But] it has, I don’t know, an energy, that is so specific for a certain moment, that
I didn’t feel like it was right to release, and I didn’t feel like it was connected
with what was going on in the world in that moment.”
We totally get it!
The timing wasn’t right.
We do hope to hear the track whenever Rosalía and Travis Scott decide to drop it.
Fans have taken to social media to react to the news, with one fan writing, “Rosalia
and travis scott have another song with a video ready but she moved the release because
of corona... what else are you taking away from me miss rona.
Another fan tweeted saying, “wow so @rosalia said her & @trvisXX got another song AND video
ready but she doesn’t wanna drop it yet bc it's a club/agressive joint that doesn't
fit her quarantine mood”
And this fan is just so anxious for the Billie Eilish collaboration to drop, writing, “Hey
@billieeilish send @rosalia the freaking vocals rn”
Like I said, these things take time!
But whenever the songs do drop, we’re ready!
