Harry Styles is giving credit where credit is due.

This time around, he is singing his praises for Billie Eilish.

Full story below…

In a new interview with Apple Music‘s Zane Lowe, Styles spoke candidly about transitioning from a teen star to full-fledged pop icon, touring, his new album ‘Harry’s House,’ and much more. It was towards the end of the interview that he brought up Eilish when he was speaking about how his artistry now compares to the way he approached it in the early days of One Direction’s split.

“I definitely had a really big moment, I think, when Billie Eilish kind of first blew up. I think being in the band, I’d always felt like … it was fun and exciting because we were young. And I had a moment, seeing her do this at such a young age, where I felt like, ‘I’m not that young anymore.’ “

“I’m kind of like, from afar, incredibly thankful to her, because I feel like she felt like she represented something to me there.”

“It felt like [she] came in in a way that was like, ‘You’re not… Like, don’t worry about being this thing, ever.’ Because, you know, she’s a lot younger than me, and there’s no point in me going, like, ‘OK, how do I get back in? How do I like, get back to like… She just totally broke spell for me, in a way that I’m very grateful for.

‘Harry’s House’ is set to arrive on May 20 and is already receiving rave reviews from critics. It has produced the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping single ‘As It Was.’
