About Halsey
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Halsey developed a pop recording career after growing up in New Jersey, releasing Badlands in 2015. Hopeless Fountain Kingdom followed in 2017, while Manic brought collaborators including Alanis Morissette and producers Greg Kurstin and Benny Blanco into the catalog. If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power then paired Halsey with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Across those projects, electronic pop, rock textures and different vocal approaches provided changing settings for the songwriting.
