Halsey med nytt album: If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power

I dag slipper Halsey sitt fjerde studioalbum “If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power”. Albumet består av 13 låter skrevet av Halsey selv, og produsert av Trent Reznor og Atticus Ross. David Grohl, Lindsey Buckingham og Pino Palladino gjester også albumet. Forventningen til albumet har bygget seg opp siden begynnelsen av juli, da Halsey avslørte albumets cover på The Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York City.

Hør albumet her.

SPIN omtaler albumet som “an industrial-leaning masterpiece,” og skriver “Halsey is not a woman, they’re a rock God. And IICHLIWP proves she’s earned the title.” Stereogum omtaler ICan’t Have Love, I Want Power som “one of those statement albums that change the course of an artist’s career” og Associated  Press er like begeistret; “Halsey is at her best here...This is the sound of ambition, an evolution of Halsey’s sound...”

Halsey slipper også en film med samme navn som albumet, som den siste uken har blitt vist på kinoer verden over. Lørdag 28.juni er det mulig å se filmen på ODEON Oslo, som eneste visning i Norge. Den times lange filmen er skrevet av Halsey, og regissert av Colin Tilley.
