Halsey has been dropping hints about her new album for quite some time, and it turns out what’s to come is more amazing than we’ve anticipated. She officially announced the release of The Great Impersonator, a confessional concept album that sees her exploring her artistry through different eras.
Halsey teased the release of The Great Impersonator with an emotional clip where she revealed that she thought this album would be the last one she ever made. The singer recently told fans she’s “lucky to be alive” after being diagnosed with lupus and T-cell disorder, and her illness made her start thinking about all the ways her life could have been different.
“Am I still Halsey every time, in every timeline? Do I still get sick? Do I become a mom? Am I happy? Lonely? Have I done enough? Have I told the truth? 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’d be proud to leave behind? Is it even you?” she said in a voiceover.
She described The Great Impersonator as a confessional concept album that will explore the idea of what her music would sound like in different eras. She cosplays as everyone from David Bowie to Britney Spears in the promo video for her new album, which she promoted with singles “Lucky” and “Lonely is the Muse”.
