Halsey is back with yet another trick up her sleeve. The singer dropped her latest album, The Great Impersonator, on Friday (Oct. 25).
In addition to previously released singles “The End,” “Lucky,” “Lonely Is the Muse” and “Ego,” the LP also features songs such as “Only Girl Living in LA,” “Dog Years,” “Panic Attack,” “I Believe in Magic,” “Hometown,” “I Never Loved You,” “Darwinism,” “Arsonist,” “Life of the Spider (DRAFT)” and “Hurt Feelings.” The Great Impersonator marks Halsey’s fifth studio album. It follows 2021’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Halsey previously confirmed that the album will traverse different decades and musical styles, with the “Closer” singer revealing multiple variants of The Great Impersonator‘s cover inspired by different time periods through a fan scavenger hunt earlier this month. “What if I debuted in the early 2000s? The ’90s? The ’80s? The ’70s?” the three-time Grammy nominee asked in an album-announcement video Aug. 27. “Am I still Halsey every time? In every timeline, do I still get sick? Do I become a mom?”
Leading up to the drop, they also took to Instagram to impersonate “a different icon every day and teasing a snippet of the song they inspired,” including Bruce Springsteen, Britney Spears, Stevie Nicks, Dolores O’Riordan, Amy Lee, David Bowie, Cher, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey and Dolly Parton.
