Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell performed a special Tiny Desk concert from their family home in Highland Park on Wednesday, using a cardboard cut-out to recreate the NPR Music office. The 18-year-old pop star acknowledged the setup, saying, 'So obviously, we are not actually at Tiny Desk, because this is a cardboard cut-out of it. But it's still real, it's just not in-person real.'
During the 10-minute performance, the duo played Eilish's new single 'My Future' and her 2019 track 'Everything I Wanted,' which she revealed is about their relationship. Eilish spoke about hope during the pandemic, stating, 'There's barely anything that feels like there's any hope in, but I think the future is something to be super hopeful in, and the unknown and what is to come. We'll be okay one day.'
Finneas later took to Twitter to express outrage over the Kyle Rittenhouse incident, in which a 17-year-old allegedly shot two protesters in Wisconsin. He tweeted, 'F*** Kyle Rittenhouse and f*** this gun loving racist ass country for allowing him to legally run around during a protest carrying a rifle and shooting unarmed civilians.' Eilish also shared support for Jacob Blake, who was shot by police in Kenosha.
