Finneas Teases Billie Eilish's Next Album: 'We're Being a Little Bit Experimental'

Posed with the question of whether or not he and Billie ever get competitive when it comes to making new songs, Finneas notes that it never gets competitive, but that they do have “creative disagreements,” which he says is a healthy part of any collaboration.

“I think that's probably the number one reason why collaboration is good,” he notes. “You disagree with each other about things and then what we always say is whichever one of us is more passionate about the issue is the winner because if you care about something enough to fight for it, that means it's probably a good thing.”

In the interview, Finneas also discusses his solo music, revealing that one thing he always tries to do when making his own songs is to find a way to say things that “aren't as broadly articulated in modern pop music” and to put his own twist on it.

“I just try to basically give my observations about things,” he continues. “It's a little bit like watching a stand-up special. To me, my favorite joke on a stand-up special is when someone says something and you go, ‘Oh my God, I've been thinking that my whole life, I've just never said it to anyone else.’ Those little kinda quiet, personal observations you make that nobody else has talked about yet.”
