On Tuesday, Sept. 17, Billie Eilish stepped back into the GRAMMY Museum for the first time in some years. The 17-year-old pop sensation grew up visiting the Museum's Clive Davis Theatre to watch performances and conversations with major artists like Childish Gambino, Colbie Caillat, Nick Jonas, Tori Kelly and more. But now it was her turn to perform at the theatre. Tons of fans packed the intimate theatre to watch Eilish perform and listen to her conversation with GRAMMY museum Artistic Director Scott Goldman.

Before her epic performance of "bellyache," the singer told the Recording Academy of her memories inside the theatre.

Billie Eilish On The Inspiration Behind Her Videos

"My whole youth was coming here," she said. "It's super weird that now I'm on the other side. I would never have ever thought it would be this way." 

The "Bad Guy" singer also spoke about the inspiration behind her latest video, "All The Good Girls Go To Hell," the goal behind all her videos and how Rihanna has helped her express her fashion sense.

Press Play At Home: Watch Dodie Perform A Morning-After Version Of "Four Tequilas Down"

In the latest episode of Press Play At Home, singer/songwriter dodie conjures a bleary last call in a hushed performance of "Four Tequilas Down"

"Four Tequilas Down" is as much a song as it is a memory—a half-remembered one. "Did you make your eyes blur?/So that in the dark, I'd look like her?" dodie, the song's writer and performer, asks. To almost anyone who's engaged in a buzzed rebound, that detail alone should elicit a wince of recognition.

Such is dodie's beyond-her-years mastery of her craft: Over a simple, spare chord progression, she can use an economy of words to twist the knife. "So just hold me like you mean it," dodie sings at the song's end. "We'll pretend because we need it."

In the latest episode of Press Play At Home, watch dodie stretch her songwriting muscles while conjuring a chemically altered Saturday night—and the Sunday morning full of regrets, too.

Press Play At Home: Tune-Yards Perform A Glitched-Out Version Of "nowhere, man"

Facebook Twitter Email
In the latest episode of Press Play At Home, the Oakland, California, art-pop band Tune-Yards perform an abstracted version of their song "nowhere, man," from their 2021 album, 'sketchy'

Tune-Yards' new track, "nowhere, man," fires up like a scratched CD—in the best way possible. "People want to hear you sing," frontwoman Merrill Garbus repeats at the top—and repeats and repeats—as the arrangement staggers to its feet.

Far from being an inscrutable art project, though, "nowhere, man" hooks you early, with an off-kilter sense of pop structure. Plus, it’s a response to a real-life reproductive rights issue: a 2019 Alabama law that banned abortion under any circumstances.

"I felt constrained and terrified," Garbus told The Independent in 2021. "I am aware that people will call it an 'angry song' but it was more complicated than just anger. Anger sounds like a flattening word. It was me questioning: What do I have control over?"
