Billie Eilish is on the cover of British Vogue’s May issue, which will be available on newsstands starting the fourth week of April. On April 14, British Vogue uploaded the full interview, featuring Billie, who was interviewed by many other celebrities, including Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter.

The singer has been a fan of Ariana Grande for a long time now. During the interview, Grande asked her about what helps her recharge when she's feeling low. To this, Billie replied,

"God, I love you. I realised recently that I think my favourite thing in the world is to hangout. [Laughs.] Like, I just love being around people that I love, people that make me laugh and make me feel whole. You know: kindred souls."

She further mentioned her brother, Finneas, in the next line by adding,

"Also, I feel like being with my brother is kind of my cure, and my mama and my dad. I feel like they are always the ones when it is getting too much. Really Finneas makes everything better."

Finneas has been working with Billie Eilish since the very beginning of her career. He gave her the song Ocean Eyes, which he had originally written for his own band, The Slightlys.

Finneas has also co-written and produced Billie's hit releases, including EP Don’t Smile at Me and albums When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Happier Than Ever, and Hit Me Hard and Soft.

The siblings have also performed at the Oscars, Grammys, and other reputed music awards. Other than Billie, Finneas has also worked with famous artists, including Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.


Billie Eilish says her brother Finneas always knows what she's thinking

Eilish has greatly appreciated her brother, as seen in her other interviews. In the Vogue interview, Stella McCartney asked Billie whether she and Finneas can read each other's minds. Billie responded to the question by saying,

"Yes, all the time! I mean it’s the sibling thing, you know? We look at each other in silence and we both know we’re thinking the same exact thing. It happens constantly, especially with other people around. He can also read my mind when writing and creating together. He knows what I’m thinking and feeling before I even know it."

The interview also carried questions from celebrities who asked her about her music career, her name, and other related questions. The complete interview is now available on Vogue's website.


Billie Eilish is a nine-time Grammy winner, and her brother Finneas is a ten-time Grammy winner. Their recent hit song, BIRDS OF A FEATHER, was written by Finneas and Eilish and was produced by Finneas.
