Happier Than Ever: Lettre d'amour à Los Angeles

Halley's comet gave me chills, the orchestra was amazing!!! The animation was also 10/10. And i loved the way the choir sang "goldwing", she is a genius.

She's a voice for every generation! I am a 43 yo musician, have gone through all the great ones, from the 50s to the 90s and never thought another artist would come along in the 21st century and inspire me as the ones of old. Her originality and purity of creation is a knock-out to my heart. Billie and Finneas have changed my view on music. Just when I thought it died, they came along! Thank God!

As for this production, well, one can only say... "genius" - again! The children choir, the orchestra, everything was so harmoniously put together and the addition of the animation "layer" to the video made the whole production as original as ever! Goes straight to the heart...

It's about the music. If you're expecting a music video visual feast - all too common on YouTube - you'll come away less impressed. If you stay for the music, it's a perfect balance of music and visuals. Easily one of the better Dolby Atmos music mixes available, highly recommend that you listen to this as it was intended on an Atmos enabled system. Thanks Billie and thanks to Disney+!

All I want to say is; the way it ended, the story told via the animation, genius! Brilliant!! I mean, it was such a ahaaa moment! Woah! Gave a new perspective to the whole album!

Beautiful.

I am in my 20s, just so you understand better where this review is coming from. I don't usually like pop, but something about Billie's brutal honesty and raw talent just blows me away. I first fell for her music after hearing No Time to Die. I admit I don't like all her songs; Oxytocin just made my head hurt. My favorites right now are Your Power 😢, Happier than Ever, and Male Fantasy. Her line about craving pity in Getting Older hits so hard; so many things that she says are just...wow. Good for her for being so honest. Not My Responsibility (spoken) and Overheated were painful to hear but important. She reminds us that she's just a young woman growing up with more scrutiny and criticism than we can imagine. I sense a lot of pain in her, and a fascinating mixture of both vulnerability and strength.

The video itself was quite good, with a tasteful mixture of animation and live action, spoken word and singing. To be clear, it's a concert with an occasional music video format. It still includes some profanity, but f-words are removed. It also includes some sexual innuendo and one irreverent reference. It's not for kids, but most teens could navigate it. I enjoyed it; it really showcases her power as a performer.
