## Artistry

Eilish's musical style has been compared to New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde and American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. Her songs are considered dark.

### Vocal range

Eilish has a three octave soubrette soprano vocal range. She has a soft, light, and airy voice that has become synonymous with an entire style of singing. As Eilish has risen to incredible career heights, she has likewise inspired many aspiring musicians and singers to mimic her artistry.

When Eilish sings low notes below G3 at a soft volume, she drop her breath support to phonate, but when singing at a louder or medium volume, she can carry a fuller tone down to E3. This shows that she has the capability to sing with "better" technique, she may purposefully opt not to in order to further her emotional deliveries.

## Reception

Eilish is well-known for her sensitive and emotive deliveries on songs like "When The Party’s Over", she has also committed to colorful character deliveries like on her signature hit "Bad Guy". While she has come under criticism for her "whispery" vocals, Eilish demonstrates considerable control of her voice.

This raises the point that as Eilish often sings at very soft volumes, it has led some to take digs at her vocals for being simply "whispers", with a converse preference for louder vocalists.

## Personal life

Eilish is of Scottish and Irish descent. She is bisexual. She has an older brother, Finneas, who works with her on her musical projects. She was part of the Los Angeles Children's Chorus and was home-schooled with her brother. Her mother is actress Maggie Baird.
Eilish has Tourette syndrome.

### Health

She also has synesthesia. Eilish has also been through depression. She suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts at age 11 and expressed her depression through her music. However, some accused her of romanticizing death and mental illnesses.
