Halsey - The Great Impersonator

 

Halsey — The Great Impersonator

Gatefold double LP

Includes double-sided insert

Halsey is asking some big questions on her upcoming album The Great Impersonator. Her fifth studio release is a concept album, where the singer explores who she would be as an artist and a person if she existed throughout different decades.

For a trailer previewing her new music, she states (referring to her diagnosis of Lupus and a rare T-cell disorder) that: "When you get sick like that, you start thinking about ways it could've all been different."

Shots of modern-day Halsey cut to clips of her modeling retro outfits and hairstyles that become more and more dated. "What if I debuted in the early 2000s? The '90s? The '80s? The '70s?" the three-time Grammy nominee continues. "Am I still Halsey every time? In every timeline, do I still get sick? Do I become a mom?"

The teaser features snippets of the previously released single "Lucky," which interpolates Britney Spears' hit of the same name, as well as unreleased songs inspired by the different aesthetics and sounds of the decades Halsey lists in the voice-over. "If it all ended right now, is this a person you'd be proud to leave behind? Is it even you?" they conclude.

"'The Great Impersonator' A Confessional Concept Album by Halsey," reads the trailer's caption.

The album follows 2021's If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The About-Face Beauty founder dropped a few singles in the three years since — including 2023's "Die 4 Me" and 2022's "So Good," both of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 — before kicking off her new era with "Lucky" and fellow singles "The End" and "Lonely Is the Muse."
