What’s going on with Billie Eilish and the vinyl backlash?

Singer songwriter Billie Eilish faced pushback online this week after criticising artists for releasing multiple vinyl variants. In response, she said she wasn’t targeting any one artist in particular.

Billie Eilish made it clear last week that she doesn’t like artists releasing multiple versions of their albums on vinyl, describing the practice as ‘wasteful’ in an interview with Billboard last week.

The singer and her mother Maggie Baird had been discussing environmental activism and their efforts to make vinyl pressings more sustainable.

During the conversation, Billie said that she felt ‘it’s very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging, which ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets them more money.’

‘I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is,’ she stated.
