Internet divided as Billie Eilish slams Rolling Stone for leaking 'Hit Me Hard And Soft' tracklist
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It would be an understatement to say Billie Eilish is unhappy that the track list from her upcoming album got leaked.
The two-time Oscar winner is holding no bars when it comes to slamming Rolling Stone magazine for leaking the track list from her upcoming ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ album, scheduled to release on May 17, per Daily Mail.

After a week of hinting at it, the ‘What Was I Made For?’ singer excitedly announced her upcoming third album and specifically mentioned that she would release the whole album together as she wants her fans to experience the music “all at once.”
However, the track list was soon leaked by Rolling Stone, who quickly came under fire for the ethical breach.
The ‘Ocean Eyes’ singer soon took notice of the leak and slammed the magazine by writing in her Instagram Story, “F*** you guys @rollingstone.”
Her frustration at the publication was palpable as she wrote another message in the same vein, typing in bold white font against a black background, “f*** rolling stone.”
On Monday, the ‘Hotline Bling’ singer took to Instagram to announce her album after hinting at it for the past few days. She even added her followers to close friends on Instagram recently.
Sharing a visual from the album, Eilish wrote, “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT” MY THIRD ALBUMMMMMMMMMMMMM COMES OUT MAY 17THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH🥹🥹🥹.”
She continued, “So crazy to be writing this right now i’m nervyyyyy & exciteddd 🫣.”
The songstress further mentioned, “Not doing singles i wanna give it to you all at once :PPP.”
