Halsey has just released her long-awaited fifth studio album, titled The Great Impersonator.

The Great Impersonator sees the pop star taking on several personas and sounds throughout the eighteen-track record which is both ambitious and commendable in its efforts. As it takes big swings in (seamlessly) traversing through several eras of music over the past fifty years, it also unravels an intriguing self-portrait of Halsey as an artist –– showcasing what may very well be her most impressive record to date.

The official announcement of the record was shared with a coinciding album trailer, which spotlights the American singer-songwriter’s musical versatility as she traverses through the varying sounds of the past few decades for the upcoming record. “What if I debuted in the early 2000s? The ’90s? ’80s? The ’70s? Am I still Halsey every time – in every timeline?” Halsey questions. “I spent half my life being someone else, I never stopped to ask myself if it all ended right now, is this the person you would be proud to leave behind? Is it even you?”

Prior to the record’s official release, Halsey had already shared four singles off the album — including the ’90s-inspired “Lonely Is The Muse,” the Britney Spears-inspired “Lucky,” the ’70s guitar-laden track “The End,” early ’00s pop-punk “Ego,” and the ’60s ballad “I Never Loved You.” All five tracks focus on several aspects of the pop star’s life experiences — particularly that of her real-life health struggles suffering from Lupus and T-cell disorder, which she revealed to the public earlier this June 2024.

The Great Impersonator marks Halsey’s second “confessional concept album,” following If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which was released in 2021 and was produced and co-written by Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The alt-rock record was critically acclaimed upon release, with several outlets describing it as a welcome departure from Halsey’s pop leanings, and marked her most creative and ambitious effort to date. It also marked her final album under Capitol Records.
