Noted for her more moody, gloomy and slightly unconventional side of pop, Billie Eilish has been praised for bringing more originality to traditional pop music while still retaining its massive mainstream appeal. The singer’s style has been primarily described as electro-pop, dream-pop, gothic-pop, alternative-pop and even experimental/avant-garde pop due to its more unconventional style. Her originality has won the 21-year old seven Grammy Awards and most recently dropped the track ‘What Was I Made For’ which is a part of the music album for Greta Gerwig’s film ‘Barbie’.
