This article explores similarities in the music of Billie Eilish and recordings that induce the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). Two complementary approaches are presented. First, the methodology and preliminary results of an empirical study are reported, which investigates peoples’ emotional responses to Eilish’s music, mouth-related ASMR sounds (oral wetness cues, whispering, breathing sounds), and non-mouth ASMR sounds (tapping, scratching). Second, a new theory of sonic intimacy is presented that draws on similar electroacoustic techniques in the music of Billie Eilish and Bing Crosby and may account for their popularity during times of stress and isolation. |
