Halsey is the alias of New York-based pop artist Ashley Frangipane. The
New Jersey native took her moniker from a New York L train subway stop,
and her adopted city plays a large role in both the sound and lyrics of
her dark, gritty electro-pop, which has been compared to acts like
Chvrches and Lorde. Based on the strength of her first single "Ghost,"
she signed a deal with Capitol-owned electronic/dance label Astralwerks
in early 2014. Her debut EP, Room 93, arrived in October of that same
year. In 2015, Halsey released her debut full-length album, Badlands,
which featured production from Lido, the Futuristics, Son Lux, and
others. Included on the album were the singles "Ghost," "New Americana,"
"Colors," and "Castle," a version of which also appeared on the
soundtrack to The Huntsman: Winter's War. Badlands debuted at number two
on the Billboard 200 chart and sold well, ultimately achieving gold
certification status. In January 2017, Halsey returned with the single
"Not Afraid Anymore," which was featured on the Fifty Shades Darker
soundtrack. Three months later, she released "Now or Never," the first
single from her sophomore album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Containing
collaborations with Sia, Greg Kurstin, and Benny Blanco, the LP appeared
in June 2017 and topped the Billboard 200.
