Billie Eilish’s new music video for "Birds of a Feather" has received mixed responses from fans, with many reacting to its minimalist style. Known for creating visually striking yet understated videos, Eilish’s latest release follows a similar pattern, featuring the singer seated in a chair as she is gradually elevated and transported through different parts of what seems to be an abandoned building. The video’s use of paranormal-like imagery, however, has left some fans divided.
Many fans have expressed disappointment with the video, citing its simplicity and lack of thematic connection to the song. Some viewers expected a more dynamic and visually engaging approach. “I wish the ‘Birds of a Feather’ music video would’ve had more depth,” one fan commented, while another remarked on social media, “It doesn’t match the song’s energy.”

Despite the criticism, other fans have appreciated the minimalist aesthetic, noting that Eilish’s video style is in line with her usual approach to music videos. One viewer pointed out a potential deeper meaning behind the paranormal elements, suggesting that the video’s simplicity could reflect the song’s emotional undertones.
While the fanbase remains split, Billie Eilish’s ability to spark conversation and maintain her distinct artistic style continues to shine through.
