Finneas, the 22-year-old older brother of Eilish, was asked on Apple Music's ALT CTRL with Hanuman Welch about an article in The Guardian speculating on who the 'next Billie' may be.
The producer of Eilish's breakthrough album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? revealed he was 'so mad about that' before elaborating there is a version of that question he wouldn't mind so much.
'Well, the only version of that question that I can get behind is who is the next person that will do exactly what they want and be deemed pop music?' Finneas clarified.
'That verbiage I would understand, but to me it does a disservice to two things. It does a huge disservice to Billie, in that you could be a next Billie,' he added.
'It also does a huge disservice to anyone they claim Billie is the next version, you know what I mean?' Finneas continued.
It does a huge disservice to Lorde. It does a huge disservice to Lana (del Rey),' Finneas continued.
'And I think that to me it was like, it's not cyclical in that way. Billie was nominated for album of the year, the same year Lana was. It's not like you pass the torch and then you just retire,' the producer added.
Eilish became just the second artist ever to win all four major Grammy Awards (Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Album of the Year) with her breakthrough album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
