Billie Eilish Clarifies Her Criticism Of ‘Wasteful’ Vinyl Practices After Backlash
HuffPost
Some fans took Eilish’s calls for sustainability as a dig at one artist in particular.
Billie Eilish is clarifying her criticism of overconsumption in the music industry after she drew the ire of several artists’ fanbases.
In a statement shared on her Instagram Stories over the weekend, Eilish said her remarks to Billboard about artists’ “wasteful” habit of issuing multiple vinyl editions of their albums weren’t directed at any specific musicians.
“It would be so awesome if people would stop putting words into my mouth and actually read what I said in that Billboard article,” the nine-time Grammy winner wrote, per Rolling Stone. “I wasn’t singling anyone out, these are industry-wide systemic issues.”
She went on to note: “When it comes to variants, so many artists release them — including ME! Which I clearly state in the article. The climate crisis is now and it’s about all of us being part of the problem and trying to do better. Sheesh.”
In an interview with Billboard published last week, Eilish said she felt irritated by the pressure some artists felt to “make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging” in an effort to generate higher sales figures for their albums and singles.
