I gotta admit, I'm not a huge fan.

For all her colourful getup, she's pretty anonymous. There's just something about her that gives me the vibe that she has no personality. There's a lot of gloss, but it tries really hard to do that "dark atmospheric" thing that Lorde popularised. And, notably, without any of the minimalism that Pure Heroine really did well. There's a huge queue of artists just like Halsey. With a samey voice, and generally quite generic production, her tunes would have to be absolutely amazing for her to really redeem herself. Her tunes are simply alright. Not amazing, just alright. Which is dangerous territory.

 

More than anything, her lyrics are so hollow.

 

"Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles

Just what you'd expect in her new Balenciaga."

 

like seriously

 

then she bigs up biggie and nirvana

 

like this is lorde's royals but without any snarky wit
