Billie Eilish speaks to WIRED ahead of the release of her new concert film “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)”—shot, as the name suggests, in 3D by Eilish and James Cameron— about her relationship with the internet and whether future artists will be able to use SoundCloud the same way she did.
