Adding an unexpected twist to the late-night talk show circuit, the pop phenom Billie Eilish shared that she's been laying down tracks in the unlikely setting of El Paso, Texas. On "Jimmy Kimmel Live", the Grammy-award winner revealed that she's been finding the creative spark in "little hotels" across the city, a tidbit that's set the internet buzzing.

"No Time To Die," the theme for the latest James Bond flick, was one such masterpiece reportedly crafted in a tour bus bunk, in what Eilish described as "the dark." This nugget of behind-the-scenes info was shared on the late-night show, sparking fans to speculate on which other hits might have been born out of such impromptu studio sessions. According to KFOX-TV, Eilish seemed to find something special about recording in random locations, with El Paso hotels cutting.

It appears that El Paso has become more than just a stop on a tour itinerary for Eilish and her brother FINNEAS. As reported by KLAQ, the singer-songwriter duo finds the normalcy and casual vibe of the city conducive to their creative process. In her own words, Eilish spoke of the fun she had due to El Paso's laid-back atmosphere, suggesting it plays a role in fostering her artistic expression.

Memories of Eilish's past connection with the city may resurface for residents recalling her 2018 guest appearance at Khalid's concert, held at El Paso's Don Haskins Center. This revelation, disclosed during her Kimmel interview, has possibly given El Pasoans a new sense of pride, or at the very least, an interesting conversation starter. As detailed by El Paso Times, the specifics of which songs Eilish crafted in the city remain a mystery, but the curiosity will undoubtedly lead to some intrepid fan investigations in the days to come.
