My 5th studio album “The Great Impersonator” coming October 25th.
I made this record in the space between life and death. And it feels like I’ve waited an eternity for you to have it. I’ll wait a bit longer. I’ve waited a decade, already.
Pre-order available now.
2 days ago I turned THIRTY!!!!! 🎂
My life has gone through inexplicable changes the past decade. Some beautiful and awe inspiring, some puzzling and painful. But 30 came like those ten years never happened, (much like the beautiful birthdays back home in Jersey before I had ever heard of the name Halsey) SCREAMING in an Italian American heritage hall with the people I love. I thought the only reason I’d have all these people in a room with me at the same time would be because I was in a wooden box in the center, but there we were. With cake and crying and bare feet.
I don’t know how they did it. But they made all the noise of my twenties stop, and replaced it with joy.
The universe, God, the stars have done this to me twice. First, just before I turned 20. By challenging me with difficulty for years and then giving me life altering joy just as I slid into base, from 19. And now by giving me a twenties full of struggle turned lesson turned growth, and replacing it with JOY as I transition from 29 to 30. And both times, that buzzer-beater joy is so strong that it settles the 9 years that came before it.
A long caption, I know, but this birthday is symbolic to me for so many reasons. Every birthday till the end of time will be. I am so grateful to see them all arrive. Thank you for all the birthday wishes 🤍
