Halsey is an artist I have a complicated relationship with. I think I respect her more as an artist than I do actually like her music. She’s audacious, highly opinionated and not afraid to speak her mind. As for her music itself, I actually think I like more of her albums than I don’t. I LOVE Manic and If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power and I have a lot of nostalgia for Room 93 and Badlands, but Hopeless Fountain Kingdom has never clicked for me, even if certain moments on it, like Strangers, are, in my opinion, some of the best stuff she’s ever released. If I had to rate the albums, I’d say
Room 93- 7/10
Badlands- 7/10
Hopeless Fountain Kingdom- 5/10
Manic- 8/10
If I Can’t Have Love….- 9/10
All that being said, I’m incredibly excited for her new album, The Great Imitator, which I think has the strongest concept of any of her albums (her exploring different decades of music to see what her sound and career would’ve been like if she’d been alive and making music during those decades, something that she claims she’s been thinking a lot about since dealing with a lot of health issues these past couple years and apparently almost dying)
Yeah I’m pretty curious to see how her new record will come and go, and I hope she delivered on the concept of it, along with her dealing with her mental health and such
