Halsey recently opened up about her frustrations in working on new music due to constraints from her record label. The acclaimed singer, who achieved significant success with her 2020 album “Manic”, has faced challenges as her latest effort, “The Great Impersonator”, did not meet the label’s commercial expectations.
During an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Halsey expressed her disappointment, stating that she’s unable to release new music at the moment because her label is holding her back. “That’s the reality, because The Great Impersonator didn’t perform the way they thought it was going to,” she shared. Despite these setbacks, Halsey remains proud of her recent work, highlighting that selling 100,000 copies in the first week is a notable achievement for an artist without recent chart-topping hits.
Moreover, Halsey emphasized that her latest tour has been the most successful in her career, although her label seems to be comparing it to the remarkable success of “Manic”. She conveyed her frustration over the unrealistic expectations placed on her, stating that it’s unreasonable to expect every album to replicate past triumphs.
As Halsey navigates these challenges in her musical journey, she continues to defend her creative output and express her dedication to her artistry. Despite the obstacles, she remains committed to her music, no doubt offering hope and inspiration to her fans who eagerly await her next steps.
