Oct 25, 2024‘Manic’ is more stylistically diverse, ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ more musically ambitious, but ‘The Great Impersonator’ is Halsey’s most honest album – that is if you choose to believe her.
-
Oct 25, 2024Halsey‘s “The Great Impersonator” is 2024’s most unabashedly ambitious record by a major pop artist. It’s also the saddest, by about a country mile. One of the year’s best? Yes, that too.
-
Oct 29, 2024There are no obvious radio hits, no sound bites that have taken TikTok by storm. But this is not an album designed to be a chart-topper; it’s a masterclass in the ways we use art to survive—which is to say, a masterclass in honesty.
-
Oct 24, 2024It perhaps didn’t have to be so lengthy, especially when it’s made dense by a surplus of delicate ballads that sound just a tad too similar. However, its concept, eloquence and even just its sheer emotional weight all serve to make this record special nonetheless, both for its quality and as a document of Halsey’s survival.
-
Oct 25, 2024The Great Impersonator is her rawest, darkest incarnation yet.
-
Oct 29, 2024Often downtrodden but always sparkling with wit, The Great Impersonator is a morbidly earnest self-sendoff, written while staring down a quickly narrowing future.
-
Oct 28, 2024All this pomp and pap is unfortunate, because the moments on the album where Halsey zeroes in on the concrete realities of her life, as opposed to her own ideas of how others perceive her, are some of her most interesting songs in a long while.
