Billie Eilish and Finneas have been a package deal since day one. The siblings’ musical kismet has worked out pretty well so far, netting them billions of streams, two Oscars and Golden Globes, nine Grammy Awards and three Billboard Music Awards, among many others.
But there comes a time in every artist’s career when they are ready to branch out on their own, and according to Finneas that time is now for his sister. Speaking to Guitar.com, Finneas, 27, said he’s been busy building out Billie’s home studio, and by the sound of it he’s pretty confident she’ll make good use of it.
“I’ve been setting up Billie’s recording studio for her so she can do home production without me, because she’s very good at it!,” Finneas said of Eilish, 22. “And it’s funny, I’ve been giving her, like, the bare minimum of stuff, just so that she learns it all. Y’know what I mean? I’m like ‘Listen, I could give you all the stuff that I use now, but it took me years to even have a use for it. And, if I give you this basic thing, it’ll make sense to you right away.’”

To date, Finneas has produced all three of Billie’s album, from her breakthrough 2019 debut, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? — which featured such beloved tracks as “You Should See Me In a Crown,” “When the Party’s Over” and “Bad Guy” — as well 2021’s Happier Than Ever and this year’s Hit Me Hard and Soft. In between, Finneas has also released two solo albums, 2021’s Optimist and this year’s For Cryin’ Out Loud and the 2019 EP Blood Harmony.
Before she can get into that studio, though, Eilish will hit the road for her 2024-2025 Hit Me Hard and Soft The Tour, which kicks off on Sunday (Sept. 29) with a sold out show at the Centre Videotron in Quebec.

Over on the ARIA Albums Chart, Short n’ Sweet logs a fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1, ahead of Katy Perry’s new arrival 143, dropping in No. 2.
That’s Perry’s fifth top 10 album following Teenage Dream (No. 1 for two weeks in 2010), Prism (No. 1 for one week in 2013), Witness (No. 2 in 2017) and her recent LP Smile, which peaked at No. 2 in 2020.
Meanwhile, Keith Urban swings in with High, new at No. 3. The Aussie country star played a surprise gig in his hometown Brisbane, ahead of the release of High, his 11th studio effort. He’ll return in the second-half of 2025 for a major arena jaunt.
A six-time ARIA Award-winner, Urban previously hit No. 1 on the ARIA Chart with The Story So Far (in 2012), Fuse (2013), Ripcord (2016) and The Speed Of Now Part 1 (2020).

“I’ve been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album,” Bryan previously said in a statement.
“If it’s a song that I cut two or three years ago, and I still love it, and it still sounds fresh, then I feel like it’ll stand the test of time.
“I think this album, as I’ve tried to do with all my albums, just has a little bit of everything,” he continued. “I do some things different vocally on this one that I’ve not done before. It’s about each song having its place and having its meaning. It’s trying not to be overly redundant with songs. I think that’s why I’ve been blessed to have a long career and what I feel like this album’s going to do.”
In addition to his headlining shows and his Farm Tour, Bryan is set to continue his role as an American Idol judge (alongside incoming judge, fellow country artist Carrie Underwood), while his Crash My Playa destination concert in Mexico will celebrate its 10th year in 2025 with performances from Jason Aldean, Kane Brown and more.
