Halsey is asking some big questions about her upcoming album The Great Imitatorwhich the pop star announced on Tuesday (August 27) along with a decades-old introspective trailer that previews some of the new music.
Coming roughly two months after Halsey confirmed she had been diagnosed with lupus and a rare T-cell disorder, the trailer opens with the “Without Me” singer saying in voiceover, “When you get sick like this, you start thinking about the ways with whom everything could have been different.”
Snapshots of modern-day Halsey cut into snippets of her retro outfits and hairstyles that keep getting older. “What if I debuted in the early 2000s? The 90s? The 80s? The 70s?' the three-time Grammy nominee continues. “Am I still Halsey every time? In every timeline, do I still get sick? To be a mother?'
The teaser features excerpts from the previously released single “Lucky,” which interpolates Britney Spears' hit of the same name, as well as unreleased songs inspired by the diverse aesthetics and sounds of the decades Halsey captures in the voice-over. “If it all ended right now, is this a person you would be proud to leave behind? Are you still there?' they conclude.
“The Great Impersonator” A Confessional Concept album by Halsey,” reads the trailer's caption.
Halsey has yet to share a release date for the album, but it will follow in 2021 If I can't have love, I want powerwhich reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The About-Face Beauty founder has dropped a couple of singles in the three years since — including 2023's “Die 4 Me” and 2022's “So Good,” both of which entered the Billboard Hot 100 — before launching her new era with “Lucky” and the other singles “The End” and “Lonely Is the Muse.”
