my future /// Anastasia Kobekina & Jean-Sélim Abdelmoula

“Billie Eilish and FINNEAS have been such inspirations over the past years in their creativity and musicality,” cellist Anastasia Kobekina tells Apple Music. “So many of their songs would be suitable for arranging. Billie’s voice has a quality that is perfect for the soft, whispering tone of the cello.” When it came to selecting a contemporary song to cover, Kobekina knew “instantly” who to turn to. “‘my future’ not only has this incredible quality in her voice,” she says of the song from 2021’s Happier Than Ever, “but melodically too. There is an incredible opportunity for intimacy and expression.”
