Halsey — Music Videos

An American singer and songwriter

Halsey is the recording name of Ashley Frangipane, an American singer, songwriter, and visual artist from New Jersey. Early songs shared online led to the Room 93 EP and the debut album Badlands. The stage name is an anagram of Ashley and also refers to a Brooklyn subway stop. Halsey’s writing has repeatedly explored relationships, identity, mental strain, and the difference between an internal experience and the public role of a performer.

Albums with different musical settings

Badlands, released in 2015, established an atmospheric electronic-pop sound. Hopeless Fountain Kingdom followed in 2017, while Manic in 2020 included “Without Me” alongside songs drawing on several different pop traditions. For If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, Halsey worked with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, bringing a darker production approach. The standalone single “So Good” arrived in June 2022, and The Great Impersonator followed in 2024.

A changing creative presentation

Halsey often links a record’s songs with a wider visual and narrative world, using painting, videos, staging, and characters to extend its themes. The voice can move from a close, conversational phrase toward a more urgent chorus. Across different production styles, personal perspective remains the thread that connects the recordings.
