I'd not heard of Halsey until a few months ago, I was watching an ep if Catfish and Is There Somewhere was used in the background and it immediately grabbed my attention. I paused the ep and went off and googled the lyrics to see if I could find out who it was. I'm glad I did.
That was off her Room 93 ep. It was a while before Badlands came out. That tracklisting is for the deluxe version, the standard version has the first 11 tracks on there. It's an indie album at heart but laced with danceier beats and pop at times. Kicking things off with the bassy Castle and moving through haunting highs and lows. The highlight of the album for me is track 3, New Americana. Not too sure about the video though, it's a bit The 100 inspired and while it kinda fits the narrative of the song I'm just not sure it works.
This album is very worth checking out, below is the video for New Americana
