Is Billie Eilish such a fan of Naps that she plagiarized it? The question has arisen since an account on TikTok highlighted the similarities between the melody of La Kiffance and that of L’Amour de ma vie, the title of Billie Eilish’s new album. On social networks, the Marseille rapper reacted to this comparison by joking: “Okay Billie Eilish it’s the kiffance”.
In a 40-second video posted Monday on TikTok, 321kais noted similarities between the two songs. “What the hell,” he exclaimed when he first listened to The Love of My Life. A few seconds later, he plays his followers an extract from La Kiffance, a summer 2021 hit with more than 200 million plays on Spotify.
“When did Billie hear about Naps?,” he joked, before wondering if La Kiffance was “the reason she named her song French.” Not sure though, although the video already has more than 400,000 views, that Billie Eilish knows about it.
The American star’s third record was awaited by fans since 2021. In Hit Me Hard and Soft, released Friday May 17, the singer continues to explore universal themes such as sexuality, physical appearance, doubts and passing. adulthood. All written and produced with his brother Finneas O’Connell, who has been there since the beginning.
Billie Eilish and Finnéas O’Connel embody “everything that is missing in pop today”, believes Libération. For Olivier Nuc, from Le Figaro, the record is “perhaps the best production” of the duo.
