The Ultimate Guide to Our Billie Dream Collaborators
Billie's music has captured the hearts of many—so many, in fact, that she’s just become the #1 monthly streaming artist worldwide! That's wild! Billie is a fiercely independent artist but also an epic collaborator. Look no further than the way she works with Finneas. But she really doesn't stop there; from her duet with Rosalía on Lo Vas a Olvidar, Never Felt So Alone with Labrinth, and obviously featuring on the remix of Guess with Charli XCX. Despite these awesome features and countless incredible live performances with Hayley Williams, Lana Del Rey, and boygenius, just to name a few, we often dream about potential collaborations with artists who share a similar vibe.
We recently asked you guys on IG who would be your ultimate dream collaborators, and you really smashed it out of the park! Let’s delve into the world of some of these artists and see what makes them unique and how they align with Billie’s style.
Renee Rapp
Known for her introspective lyrics and emotive vocal delivery, brings a deep, personal touch to her music. Her tracks often explore themes of vulnerability and self-discovery, similar to Billie’s own lyrical themes. Renee’s candidness and emotional depth would blend seamlessly with Billie’s haunting sound.
Olivia Rodrigo
Bursting onto the scene with her raw, relatable songwriting and powerful vocals. Her exploration of heartbreak and teen angst in songs like “drivers license” resonates with Billie’s own reflections on emotions and relationships.
The Weeknd
(Abel Tesfaye) is known for his dark, moody sound and introspective lyrics. His style of blending pop with a touch of melancholy mirrors Billie’s approach, making him a natural fit for collaboration.
Chappell Roan
With her bold and vibrant pop anthems, brings a unique flair to her music. Her exploration of identity and expression would complement Billie’s experimental and boundary-pushing style. We'd love to see this; we think our queer little hearts would burst. Chappell brings such an incredible campy vibe to her performances; we'd really enjoy seeing how Billie would interpret this.
Upsahl
Known for her edgy, genre-blending tracks that capture a sense of youthful rebellion, a sentiment that aligns with Billie’s own fearless musical exploration.
Tyler, the Creator
Sup Gayman? Offering a mix of playful, experimental, and introspective music. His creativity and willingness to push musical boundaries would pair well with Billie’s innovative approach. Billie has referenced the influence Tyler has had on her music multiple times—this collaboration would just make sense.
Lana Del Rey
Oh Lana. Her cinematic, melancholic style brings a nostalgic and dreamy quality to her music. Her introspective lyrics and atmospheric sound could harmonize beautifully with Billie’s own dark and ethereal tones. We heard it at Coachella this year and nearly all died instantly when she brought out Billie. We’d love a whole album by these two. Match made in heaven.
girl in red
Celebrated for her candid exploration of queer themes and emotional depth. Her music, which often addresses love and identity, aligns well with Billie’s own explorations of personal experiences. Also, these two in the same room would be a wild energy. We're here for it.
Hozier
Combining soulful vocals with poetic lyrics. His ability to weave intricate stories into his music resonates with Billie’s storytelling style.
Avril Lavigne
We gotta say, when we saw this one come in—our jaws dropped. Known for her pop-punk anthems, she has a rebellious edge that could offer an interesting contrast to Billie’s more subdued sound, creating a dynamic and fresh collaboration. We'd froth at this... seriously.
Finneas
A vocal powerhouse on his own. I think we'd all agree we’d love to hear a proper sibling duet where both of their vocals are stars of the show. Get out from behind the producer desk, Finneas! We wanna hear you!
Boygenius
Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus combine powerful, emotive songwriting with a collaborative spirit, making them a great match for Billie’s emotionally charged music. We heard the raw power of this trio with Billie when she brought them out at her intimate London show to sing "when the party's over." One of our favorite performances ever.
Dominic Fike
Dom’s Genre-blending style and introspective lyrics align with Billie’s innovative approach. His diverse sound could complement Billie’s unique musical style.
Gracie Abrams
Gracie delivers emotionally charged music with a personal touch. Her reflective and heartfelt lyrics align well with Billie’s own themes of vulnerability.
Melanie Martinez
The OG Crybaby! Melanie explores dark, whimsical themes with a distinctive style. Her creative and often eerie sound could add a unique twist to a collaboration with Billie. Imagine a Portals x WWAFAWDWG crossover? We'd be honestly obsessed...
Foo Fighters
Known for their rock anthems, bring a high-energy dynamic that contrasts with Billie’s more subdued sound but could create an exciting and diverse collaboration. If you've been lucky enough to come across "rock" or "punk" remixes of Billie’s songs on TikTok, you’d know how incredible a rock album from her would be. Give us more ammunition to tell people you don’t just whisper-sing, Billie!
Frank Ocean
Frank’s atmospheric and emotionally rich music parallels Billie’s own introspective and moody style, making him a fitting collaborator.
Adele
Offering powerful, soulful vocals and deeply personal lyrics. Her emotional intensity would complement Billie’s own lyrical depth. Ok, but hear us out... a James Bond theme duet? "Skyfall" was iconic, guys.
Harry Styles
Combining a modern pop sound with introspective lyrics and a touch of nostalgia. His versatility and charisma would make for a captivating collaboration with Billie.
Towa Bird
Towa explores themes of identity and self-expression, aligning with Billie’s own exploration of personal themes. Her fresh sound could blend well with Billie’s style.
