“I really thought this album might be the last one I ever made…” Watch the insightful trailer for Halsey’s fifth LP, The Great Impersonator, which is due out at some point this year.
Having previously promised an “all over the place” new album, Halsey has revealed exactly why that’s the case with the long-awaited announcement of her fifth LP.
A very insightful minute-and-a-half new trailer for the record – which goes by the name The Great Impersonator – hears Halsey reflect how, “When you get sick like that, you start thinking about ways it could have all been different” (Halsey was diagnosed with Lupus SLE and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder in 2022).
Sharing snippets of the different genres and eras to be heard on the follow-up to 2021’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, they then go on to ask in the video: “What if I debuted in the early 2000s, the ’90s, the ’80s, the ’70s… am I still Halsey every time, in every timeline?”
Halsey concludes that, “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?”
Watch the trailer below – and get ready for The Great Impersonator. Halsey hasn’t announced the release date, but their website teases that it’s coming in 2024 (with the month unfortunately blurred out for now).
