Billie Eilish was spotted vibing to Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.”

In a video that began circulating on social media Saturday (May 18), the 22-year-old pop star is seen dancing and singing along to K. Dot’s infectious Drake diss, which recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.


It’s unclear when and where the viral clip was shot, bit it arrives on the heels of the “What Was I Made For?” singer’s new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which dropped on Friday. Ahead of the release, Eilish held listening parties in New York and Los Angeles.

Produced as usual by the pop star’s brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas, the 10-track set marks her third studio set, following 2019’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and 2021’s Happier Than Ever, both of which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

No singles preceded the project, with Eilish telling fans from the moment she announced it, “i wanna give it to you all at once.”

“This whole process has felt like I’m coming back to the girl that I was,” Eilish told Rolling Stone in April. “I’ve been grieving her. I’ve been looking for her in everything, and it’s almost like she got drowned by the world and the media. I don’t remember when she went away.”

Earlier this week, Lamar’s Mustard-produced “Not Like Us” — one of his numerous diss tracks aimed at Drake in recent weeks — debuted atop the Hot 100, giving the Compton rapper his fourth No. 1 on the chart. The song also earned Mustard his first Hot 100 chart-topper as a producer.

Alex Lifeson on New Music With Rheostatics: ‘There Are No Rules or Expectations’

The all-star collective's new album, The Great Lakes Suite, also features Laurie Anderson and the late Gord Downie.

Thirty years ago, Toronto’s Rheostatics went high-concept with Music Inspired by the Group of Seven, a National Gallery of Canada commission to pay homage to early 20th century Canadian landscape painters. It was an arty and abstract conceptual piece, incorporating free-form composition and recorded dialogue from the painters and historical figures such as Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Ever since then, the band’s Dave Bidini tells Billboard, “We’ve always bandied about, ‘How can we do something like that again?’ So we’ve been searching for a while, and one night I literally had my head on the pillow, and I thought about the Great Lakes.”
