Halsey Is Queen

Many of you that Halsey is one of my favorite artists and is probably my favorite female artist of all time. So I decided that I should dedicate this blog post to Halsey in appreciation.

Halsey's birth name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane and was born the 29th of September in the year of 1994. During her early life she was classically trained on the cello, viola, and violin but later found a passion for the acoustic guitar when she was fourteen. Later when she started to perform she chose the stage name of Halsey, which is an anagram of her name and was a street in Brooklyn where she spent much of her time as a teenager. Halsey made her big break in 2014 when she recorded her hit single Ghost and put it on the internet. She gained lots of attention and then released her EP Room 93 later that year in October. After touring with the Kooks and Imagine Dragons, she debuted her album Badlands in August 2015.

Now that you know a little bit about her, let's move onto her music. Halsey is an amazing artist, and all of her songs are awesome. Her genre is described as Electropop, but I think it has a bit of punk thrown in there. This is an artist who became famous overnight, literally. Ghost had hit topped the charts soon after its release, but her song New Americana is probably her most popular song, and has been on iTunes top 100 songs multiple times. Her EP was amazing and her debut did not disappoint, especially her deluxe album. My favorite song from the deluxe has to be I Walk The Line, but if I had to choose of her regular album, I would probably say Hold Me Down or Drive or Colors or Castle or Haunting...I can't chose okay! they are all amazing and I love them all. Her voice though, I have never heard anything like it. Her voice has this deep undertone to it that is just...I can't explain it, you have to listen to her to know what I mean. The beat to all her songs are so awesome, they all have this cool sound to it that you only hear if you listen closely, it's so cool, trust me. She can make a killer song without all her electronic affects though, Trouble is a perfect example of this.

The reason why I love Halsey though, is because she is so genuine. I mean, just look at the way she performs:

You can tell that she is very passionate and loves being on stage and sharing her talent with the world. She care's about the fans and wants to do things with them too. One time she invited a couple of fans to get matching matchstick tattoos with her, just for the heck of it. She also like to get interment with them while performing with them, whether it be crowd surfing or high-fiving, she will probably be doing it. Halsey is also very confident in her music, and doesn't need someone to tell her that she's a genius because she knows she is. Its funny too, because if you ask someone if they like her music, they either say "Oh yeah I love Halsey!" Or "I hate Halsey!" There is literally no in-between. She has a very selective crowd, but most people love her.

That's all I have to say (for now), but if you haven't heard of her or listened to her music, do it! I promise you you will not be disappointed by her talent! `Go listen to her stuff on YouTube or check her out on iTunes. Thanks for Reading! :)

Ps. One last thing I forgot: Halsey is freakin' hilarious
