Billie Eilish criticizes THIS artist for wasteful packaging of albums

Billie Eilish has called out big artists for their unsustainable practice of releasing and selling vinyl albums to increase sales.

The Bad Guy singer, during an interview with Billboard,  criticized her fellow artists for creating several versions of vinyl and CDs. 

During the interview published on Thursday, the 22-year-old youngest Oscar winner said, “For some reason, 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 and gets them more.”

She vented, “I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is,”

While expressing her annoyance with the rat race filled desire of being bestseller, she said, “And then it’s some of the biggest artists in the world making f–king 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more.”

In the year 2023, Eilish helped fund REVERB’s Music Decarbonization Project, which aims to eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry.

She continued, “It’s so wasteful, and it’s irritating to me that we’re still at a point where you care that much about your numbers, and you care that much about making money — and it’s all your favorite artists doing that s–t.”

Billie Eilish’s latest studio album Happier Than Ever was available in eight different vinyl variations but according to the Billboard, “The variants were '100% recycled black vinyl, plus recycled scraps for colored variants and shrink-wrap made from sugar cane.”

Before concluding the Grammy winner also said, “I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable.”
