SINGAPORE – Pop superstar Billie Eilish released videos of two new songs performed at the Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay on Thursday (September 22).
The videos for ‘TV’ and ‘The 30th’, which were posted on YouTube, were filmed while Eilish was in Singapore last month, when the 20-year-old American singer-songwriter performed at the National Stadium as part of its ‘Happier Than Ever’ world tour.
Directed by Singaporean director Choānn, the videos were launched in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) as part of the STB’s SingapoReimagine campaign.
This wasn’t Eilish’s first time performing at Gardens by the Bay. In 2018, she performed at the popular tourist attraction during the St. Jerome’s Laneway festival.
In an STB press release, Eilish said Singapore was one of the first places she had ever been on tour and “absolutely fell in love with it” even though she was only there for a day.
“The Cloud Forest is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life. These two songs are really very important to me in many ways. I feel really connected to them and very personally protective of them,” Eilish said.
In both videos, Eilish sang while her brother and musical collaborator Finneas played acoustic guitar against the backdrop of a cloud forest. The songs were recently performed by Eilish for the first time on her tour ahead of their official release.
STB also recently teamed up with singer-songwriter Charlie Puth in a video to promote Singapore as part of the same campaign. Ahead of the video’s release next month, STB posted a preview on Instagram showing Puth in several locations such as Long Bar at Raffles Hotel, The Projector and the Joo Chiat neighborhood.
