Halsey has no inhibitions when it comes to getting raw emotionally — and Manicis her most fearless move yet. She chases her darkest anxieties all over the spectrum, from hip-hop to rock to country, in hits like “Without You” and “Graveyard” — the kind of album where you can find Alanis Morissette, Suga from BTS, Jennifer’s Body samples or a voicemail pep talk from John Mayer. Halsey has the too-much too-young celebrity blues: as she sings, “I remember the names of every single kid I’ve met/But I forget half the people I’ve gotten in bed.” Yet she wrestles with her issues in her own unmistakably real voice

“Poetic lyricism and [a] tendency to deliver dark, angsty verses disguised as fun, catchy pop songs.” – Madelyn Tait. The continued renaissance of Halsey thrives in the US songstresses latest release. As usual, the electro-pop hitmaker knocks it out of the park in terms of the songs themselves, but Manic is thematically miles ahead of her previous releases and well beyond her 25 years.

Known offstage as Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, the singer takes her newest LP as a chance to deep-dive into her own internal battles with bipolar disorder and channel those internal struggles into a creative triumph. It’s more personal, emotive, intense and compelling than anything Frangipane has put out before, and a thoughtful peek beyond the curtain to the woman behind the moniker.

Halsey’s raw autobiographical portrait of the artist as a young mess, craving her share of love and tenderness in a hostile world. Yet Halsey’s Ashley Frangipane is a mess who’s a hungrily ambitious artist seeing herself as a mirror for her entire generation. As she told Rolling Stone last summer, Manic is “hip-hop, rock, country, fucking everything.” Who else but Halsey would get stellar guest shots from Alanis Morissette and Suga from BTS on the same album?

Her newest album “Manic”is due on in a little over a month on January. 17th and the singer is dropping bangers. Today, Halsey dropped two new singles “Finally // beautiful stranger”  includes a powerful music video exploring the dichotomy of fame and love in an old-time club. The goal of every pop star is basically to get to the place where Halsey is with Manic. With any remaining questions about her bonafides as a top-level hitmaker long answered — 2019 Hot 100 topper “Without Me” is here as proof, even with a congratulatory lead-in from John Mayer — the New Jersey-born singer-songwriter was guaranteed a mass audience for her extremely personal songs of love, heartbreak, anxiety and rage. Those range here from the music box-like delicacy of “Clementine” to the post-grunge last-call fury of “3AM,” and call on special guests as wide-reaching as Alanis Morissette and Suga from BTS. But it’s all unmistakably Halsey, and given the album’s stellar performance (moving over 200k units in its first week of release) that’s what listeners really want from her anyway.
