Halsey recently provided an update on her upcoming album, sharing that she is approaching it without strict genre boundaries. Similar to her 2020 album Manic, Halsey aims to create music that feels authentic and resonates with her emotions.

Responding to a fan’s question on Twitter about her progress with the album, Halsey explained that she is currently adopting a similar approach to how she worked on Manic. She emphasized that there are no rigid genre parameters or limitations, allowing her to explore various sounds and styles that speak to her. This approach has led her to produce some of her best songwriting to date, and she expressed that a lot of life experiences have influenced her creative process since her last album, if I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power.

Earlier this year, Halsey made headlines by leaving Capitol Records after an eight-year partnership and signed a new record contract with Columbia Records. The decision to part ways with Capitol was described as bittersweet, and Halsey expressed excitement about embarking on a new partnership with Columbia Records and sharing fresh music with her fans.

In the past, Halsey had a dispute with Capitol over her song “So Good,” where the label reportedly wanted the song to go viral on TikTok before its official release. Halsey addressed this issue in an ironic viral TikTok video, expressing her frustration with the label’s approach.

Now, with her return to Columbia Records, Halsey reunites with the label responsible for one of her biggest hits, “Closer,” a collaboration with The Chainsmokers that dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2016. This move signifies a new chapter in her career, as she continues to assert her artistic independence and strive for creative expression in her music.

As Halsey gears up for the release of her highly anticipated album, fans can expect a fresh and authentic sound that showcases her growth and evolution as an artist. With no strict boundaries limiting her artistic vision, Halsey‘s upcoming album promises to be a powerful and meaningful addition to her discography.
