album Halsey - 'The Great Impersonator'

[Kirby Kirbs]

I'm definitely intrigued by the concept but I hope the tracklist flows well since the songs are so different from each other sonically. Maybe each decade will have a seperate section with interludes in between?

I will say that the 80's snippet doesn't sound very 80's at all which is a bit odd. 

It was definitely giving Manic throwaway but you know how Miss Frangipane is

I have full faith in Halsey & her visuals, so I'm not too worried for the cover. But I just hope it's not 4 quadrants with each decade/look (like the target version of eternal sunshine). But I'm sooo excited to see how she reveals the cover and to see it!

I think there will probably be a main cover and then 4 alternate covers to represent each decade.

[perfectillusion204]

I still think this is the tracklist or the hype sticker for the album (from the Lucky video & pre-save page). TGI logo fits perfectly in there as the question marks are already there. Interesting the left side says A (Ashley) and the right side says H (Halsey). And then the top figure is the same thing that's on the box from the other day. I wonder where the Dice fit in though?

I keep replaying those teaser clips cause they sound AMAZING

[Infatuation_Junkie]

This is a slay. 

[wren]

I hope the cover is a lenticular image/print that goes through the different eras (truthfully could be as simple as the headshots).

[perfectillusion204]

Ok this is me being delulu but I have a theory lol. She did say this album has "too many songs" in a tweet recently. Her longest album was technically Manic deluxe with 19 original songs. So I think it's kind of safe to assume there are gonna be at least 20+ songs?
 

And I'm wondering… based on her Instagram caption a few weeks ago "2000 loading" and it was right before she released LITM… what if each songs represents a different a year? There could be 24 songs and that would cover the years 1978-2001.

The End - 1978 (basically confirmed as the opening track)

Ego - somewhere in the 90s

Lonely is the Muse - 2000

Lucky - 2001 (could easily be the closing track)

 

 

I doubt this is the case but it's fun to dream lol.

[BlackJesus]

I hope it's not a long wait considering we already have 3 singles. End of September would be perfect.

[Dolce Vita]

sooo here for this album. i loved lucky + especially lonely is the muse. hope we get more grungy y2k emo songs

One thing about Halsey, she always nails her concepts imo, even if I don't always like the music. I love the way the album revolves around 4 different decades/characters. It will be all over the place sonically & visually, but I don't care if the music is good.

I came here to post this 

I truly think she has good ideas and some good songs but the execution is not always there

[thatsmydemi]

This concept is so good. I hope there are some interludes in between different sounds though or it's going to feel weird. 

[Burqa]

hmmmm ego sounds really good and litm is great. i hate lucky (although the lyrics are relevant to the context of the album) and i don't really care for the end. 

 

i'm hoping there's more pop rock songs though. i barely tolerate any artists that do that kind of genre let alone enjoy them but halsey just nails it. i kinda wanted iichliwp 2.0 but it was obvious ever since so good that this would be manic 2.0

[mypaintoyou]

Ego is my fav song so far 

[Pendulum]

oh AOTYanka incoming.... Lonely is the muse is a bopianka 

[Marceau]

I'm sooo hyped. LITM is amazing, I like Lucky, the snippets in the trailer sound all great, I can't wait to hear Ego, I'm even hyped for what seems to be a country song! Which surprising since I'm not a big fan of her very rare country songs.

 

I live the concept, the visuals are so cool for the moment, I'm there for it.

[Bussea]

The way she gets better which album  I just know this is about to SLAP

[orange22]

Why aren't the other girls seeing Ashley?

 

[dumbsparce]

Uhmmm... no shade at all bc I love Halsey but those snippets in the trailer sounded nothing like the decades they were supposed to be inspired from  I love the concept and imagery though.

[brokee]

I've listened to all the singles and Lonely is the muse is the one that made my mind to check the album when it comes out

[Guilherme Make Love]

I Want Power was GREAT. She´s getting better each album imo, so let´s see.

 

Lonely is The Muse is great, Ego sounds great as well. Didn´t loved the other tracks, but hopefully the album itself will be high quality. The previews for 70´s and 80´s seems kinda off, but hard to judge with this broad concept.

Billie/Charli better watch out, AOTY is hers!

Concept sounds great. We'll be listening

But Grammy eligibility period ends TODAY. She will not be competing with Billie/Charli.

Most likely her competitors could be Lana, Kendrick, Harry, The Weeknd, Gaga... and idk who else is releasing next year
