Happier Than Ever: Una carta de amor a Los Ángeles

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.
