Halsey - 'Manic' Apple Music Interview with Zane Lowe 

She is such a great talker, like her sentence structures are so clever and you can see how smart she is! Her voice is so smoothing

I need this girl recitating her album as a poetry. To hear nothing but her passionate voice and could fully appreciate the power of her words. The lyrics collection: 8:11 - Ashley 22:14 - Forever is a long time (24:33, 24:56) 42:57 - killing Boys 51:04 - More 55:00 - 929 57:16 - Still Learning

I like how he ASKED her if she wanted to talk about More....very respectful

"We accept the love we think we deserve." OKAY PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER. I SEE YOU. 23:47

manic gets better with every listen it’s INSANE

You can tell just how much Ashley loves music and I’m so happy Zane actually does his research and asks her such great questions where she can actually go off and talk about her music

I’ve never related to an artist as much as I relate to this incredible artist here. She’s relatable in the most authentic way rather than a try hard

God Halsey you need to start a podcast, I could listen to you for hours on end - no topic, just what ever you'd want to talk about, I'd listen to it

45:36 Halsey is always so sweet & genuine when mentioning her friends, BTS. She really appreciates their music & artistry. I love how she says she needed Yoongi on her album after listening /connecting to his Agust D mixtape + reading its lyric translations. I appreciate Suga’s Interlude even more now. 🥺💜👫☔️

48:51 when she talks about MORE, made me realize that it's a song for her baby, for her baby to listen to someday and see how much she wanted it. I'm broken

Her face when she goes "what if six of the songs dont have ANY DRUMS" oh my god shes so WHOLESOME I love her so much wtf

Halsey opening up in this album is literally everything. I am so proud of her.

this makes me want to have a conversation with her so bad

I really hope that she has someone to sing "More" to in the future.

I love these interviews so much. I could listen to halsey talk for hours.

The fact that the first time Ashley first hung out with bts was just to know each other and goof around, unlike other artist that would just meet each other just to talk about the collaboration, it’s actually a little mind blowing that Ashley would go and listen and look at the lyrics to agust d by yoongi and end up having a huge connection, like this just shows how much Ashley and bts have of a true connection and how they understand each other even though there’s a huge language barrier, it’s amazing how their friendship keeps building up each time they meet, the amount of success maniac tuned out to be makes me so proud of her and the amount of love people give her, she truly is the right person for someone to collaborate with 💖

When she said her brother said 929 was the most she's ever sounded like his sister - I had a major "awww" moment. Damn this album is a whirlwind of emotions from start to finish. It has been the main thing I've been listening to since it dropped, and I always listen to it all the way through. I also thought it was pretty cool how she has the "trios" of songs on each album!

Halsey makes me wanna spend more time studying the dictionary

The way she recited the lyrics to Ashley...reads like a slam poem, so good

"This is probably the first interview that I've ever done where the person that I hope I become isn't too far off from the person that I already am right now." Oh, Ashley.

I died when she said the album isn't just about Gerald omgg😂😂

I can confidently say Halsey puts in more work and thoughts in creating an album more than most of our artistes today..and she doesn't get as much credit for it..it hurts me to the soul.

She's so mature but also so self-aware, and honest about where she's at. And Manic is by far her best album yet and I'm just so freaking proud of her and happy for her.

i'll probably edit this more later, but for now: ashley, 5:19 (spoken @ 8:11, 8:29, 8:43) {the spoken piece at 8:11 aligns with 0:22 in the album version. 8:29 with 0:52, 8:43 with 1:26} 8:11/0:22 "i'm standing now in a mirror that i built myself and i can't remember why the decision wasn't mine, but it seems i'm only clinging to an idea now. i took my heart and sold it out to a vision that i wrote myself, and i don't wanna be somebody in america just fighting the hysteria, i only wanna die some days" 8:29/0:52 "some day when i burst into flames, i'll leave you the dust. i hope a bit of it'll be enough to help remember the days when we came to this place. i told you i'd spill my guts, and then left you to clean them up, i'm bursting out of the seams" 8:43/1:26 "seems like now" 8:47/1:26 "seems like now, it's impossible to work this out, i'm so committed to an old ghost town, but is it really that strange if i always wanna change? and if only the time and space between us wasn't lonely, i'd disintegrate into a thousand pieces. i think i'm making a mistake but if i decide to break, who will fill this empty space? so now, if i figure this out, apart from my beating heart, it's a muscle but it's still not strong enough to carry the weight of the choices i've made. i told you i'd ride this out, but it's getting harder every day somehow. i'm bursting out of myself." clementine, 18:34 forever... is a long time, 20:30 // on pages 93 & 94 of her poetry book

This interviewer is FIRE btw.

“If I keep doing this I’m going to die” my heart 🥺

The album is amazing. I’ve literally listened to it for like 16 times so far. I myself am struggling with my depression and this album is helping me a lot. Love you and anyone else who could be reading this comment and just know that you are all beautiful 💟

Halsey is such a great talker. It’s like you’re reading a book and you’ll learn a lot from her.

Everyone expected MANIC to be a crazy song, but it contains such emotions and experiences that Halsey has been through. And many of us can think, sit down, and just realise what this song truly means. That so many people’s emotions are given for someone else they love or loved, and then it’s all disappeared. The song isn’t about hating yourself, it’s about ‘STILL LEARNING’ to love yourself. We all learn, and this song is one of the best ways to learn. Super successful, and absolutely proud of the whole album and her career.

The lyrics collection: 8:11 - Ashley 22:14 - Forever is a long time (24:33, 24:56) 42:57 - killing Boys 51:04 - More 55:00 - 929 57:16 - Still Learning

her songwriting techniques inspire me to write. ive never been good at writing "song lyrics" but i love writing poetry. And seeing the way Halsey writes makes me feel confident that I can write songs too! 😭

She so pretty it’s unreal

I love how he really LISTENS to her & meditated on what she says & actually replies with something that has some worth. ❤❤

43:45 "God gave me depression, cause he knew if I only had mania I would try to overthrow him." That's intense. I can relate.

Hearing about her talk about "More" and about the possibility of her having a child and just loving them so much has me in TEARS. That part of the interview was so intimate and just lovely.

I absolutely love this interview. There's a really nice flow from begining to end, the interviewer really knows the album and appreciate it and Halsey, Ashley, she's so eloquent and honest and funny and raw, I don't think it's easy at all to put yourself out like this and talk this much about it. There's so much love and passion about his music and living and you feel like you could touch it you'd probably start crying, I did. I love every second of it but most importantly I feel really thankful. I wish you growth and happiness, sincerely.

One hour of Halsey. That's a win for me!

"Infatuation is observation with a cause" is one of my fav lyrics off the album, because its so cerebral!

literally trying not to cry in lecture listening to her explain these songs

Halsey is the female artist we all needed.

“I didn’t trust any male energy because I was so wronged” (not exact but you get it). I feel that. It’s been over three years and I still feel it. Still lack trust. You are so honest and raw. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

i genuinely started crying when she was talking about more. i hope i get to see the day when she gets to sing this to someone

The interviewer's sweater!!Jin would be proud

With the explanation about "Ashley" I really hope she could take care of herself. I think all of her fans would agree that her health and presence comes first before her music.

I love how REAL she is!!! I know she's still finding herself but shes definitely on the right track

Her vocals are so good when she sings here.

As a mother of a young child I really felt what she said at the end. I hope this world starts to change for the better. The current cycle we are in is not good.

and a year later she's pregnant 🥺🥰

She's so passionate, so authentic, so sincere... I admire her like I've never admired no one, she gonna do wrong sometimes I totally sure, she's human so am I. I hope to be able to understand. We all have our ups and downs but we keep learning, we have to move on not drown into self pity.

She is so well-spoken.

Her way with words. Can honestly listen to her just speaking for hours on hours.

Interviews with Zane Lowe are just the best. He is such a great guy and he asks so good questions. Also It was amazing to hear about so many things about this album, all the little details. Halsey is really a wondeful artist and I'm sure she's gonna be an amazing mom too. I'm so happy for her.

"I think this is the most anyone have ever liked me, for being myself." Word.

when he said “you know dom- fike” she jumped 🥺 29:34

rewatching this now and seeing the growth in Halsey as an artist, a human being and becoming a mother makes me believe in the power of manifestation.

I've never seen someone that passionate about their body of work, ART!!

back after her pregnancy announcement !! im so happy for her, shes wanted this for so so long

OMG. She just quoted one of my fav authors... "We accept the love we think we deserve" WOW. I love Halsey

"When you decide it's your time to arrive, I've loved you for all of my life" 😢😢 my heart

And now 2021 she is pregnant 🥰

zane is so good at having a quiet, thoughtful conversation with different artists in a way that gives them the opportunity to really explain and break down their work and artistry im soft

her talking about More and saying the lyrics.......im sobbing holy shit 😭😭

halsey is such a great artist. she's like a refreshing and relieving new breath of air in this toxic industry

I’m in shock because each song it’s unique and beautiful.

U uploaded THE WHOLE INTERVIEW well I guess I'll have to listen to it all over again even though I heard it an hour ago

Watching this and hearing her talk about More and her desire for a family, and she just announced her pregnancy is making me so emotional!! We love you Ashley💘

Her explanation of 'More' omg!!!

This is hands down the best interview she's ever done

She seems so passionate about being a mom one day, I hope you find the gratitude and peace in the world Ashley that will help you and your journey to becoming the mom you want to be ❤ love you GREAT INTERVIEW

“The good that I find in some people is worth siphoning through the bad that I find in others” -Halsey . Thank you

She's such an amazing person and i couldn't be more proud of her. I loved her since 2016 and i will love and support her no matter what. ❤❤❤❤

She is such an intelligent, kind, sweet, lovable, humble, strong, down to earth, honest, talented, hardworking woman!! I honestly look up to her so much 💜💜

This is one of the best interviews and interviewers I've ever seen. You can really tell how comfortable and excited Ashley is with him, the conversation was always so fluid, respectful and insightful. The whole thing was wonderful to watch, I truly felt like I got a good view of her process and emotions about this album

Look at her.. The queen herself 💜💜

Coming back to listen to the part about her song more knowing now she's pregnant and will get to have a beautiful baby to sing to

"I got too composed. That was the problem." CAN RELATE.

okay thought: ash writes a poetry book AND makes an audio book where it's her voice because damn

when she talked about More I almost cried 😭❤️

This interview definitely made me tear up. Halsey is one of my favorite artists, easily. I’m only 17 and I have to constantly remind myself that. I’m so young, I’m a junior in high school, no one is expecting me know everything and have the world figured out. But I beat myself down all the time thinking I’m wasting life, that there is so much more I could or should be doing. I’m still learning and as Ashley said you’re always learning, you’re always a student. I must remember that. I feel like so much is expected of me and of people my age and look around at my peers and feel lost. I know I will figure it out one day and it might take awhile. I just have to be patient and keep going.

53:10 OMG Im not crying, you are

When she said she will never song “more” live then stuttered a little then said unless it’s for someone.. that’s when the tears just couldn’t hold any longer. Her pain is so apparent and I feel so much of what she’s feeling and sharing that is probably one of the most beautiful wonders of life. God she is so great.. rabbena yehdeeha w yehmeeha

Love to see her mature and grow up. She’s a lovely human being.

I don’t think she knows how much she has helped us with every album and how much we love growing with her. ❤️

She is the realist INFP I have ever seen 🙆💜

I'm so proud of her and every time I hear her talking I feel inspired. I can't really explain what I mean but yeah, she's an inspiration. I love this album and now I can understand it more deeply. I just want to say a big Thank You to this girl. (also, I cried like 4 times while watching this interview).

This interview is absolutely brilliant. Her raw authenticity, vulnerability is completely unmatched. Thank you both Zane and Halsey for this

I love this!! A friendly interview with thoughful questions being asked..connecting on a deeper level.. Zane lowe is really good at this.. Halsey is just a genius..am thankful for her existence in this world.

So special to hear that she wouldn't sing "More" unless it was to someone. Fast-forward to 2022 and she sang "More" on tour for her aforementioned "fourth album" that she didn't know when it was going to happen. And she's singing it to Ender.

Halsey quoting The Perks of Being a Wallflower!!

G easy is a bumb she's genuine.

am I the only one that cried through this interview? I love her so much. She truly is such an amazing artist and an amazing human.

Just one word: Crying. Love you Halsey!

I love how she goes instantly from talking to spiting her lyrics it goes to show how much she expressed herself on this album n that she said it all on the songs

This interview keeps making me cry

This whole interview is everything

This album is so good! At a time where there has been such great material from female artists. Her lyrics are so relatable and gut wrenching. (In a good way) Her music has touched my soul!

Zane has to be my favorite interviewer ever. he is genuine and super authentic, he knows how to make the talk more like a conversation than an interview and you really get an in depth view of what the artist is trying to get across. super great man

"God gave me depression because he knew if he only gave me mania, I would try to overthrow him" YES ASHLEY YES!!

Need more people in the industry like Zane

ok but i really need this jacket
