Hope all is well with everyone! The sophomore album for Halsey is a memorable one indeed! Comment down below your favorite tracks off this album! Most importantly keep those recommendations coming my way! You guys are all awesome! Love you all 💚 Twitter _fabrizio13 IG _fabrizio13
she was homeless in new york when she was younger, yes. she’s also bisexual which would make sense more in the “ghost” mv and “strangers.” also she talks about it a lot lol
I was waiting for the time when Fabrizio realized halsey is bi. I'm just waiting until he hears Alanis's interlude on manic because that is going to be an experience.
Strangers its just her spilling her bisexual pride! Also, she has alot of feautures with other artists, you should react to those, all of them are fire, i know that you already heard Posts Malone's hollywood bleeds, but after 'Manic' can you react to her feauture on the album? would be dope bc you are a fan of Post and now knows halsey =) some facts going in to manic: she dated g easy (during the hfk era) and they made a song while they were together ('him&i') and them they broke up after lots of time he was a douchebag and cheated on her, so theres ('without me' from' Manic' that is a breakup note for him and also she talks about this on the Post feauture). About what you said about her releationships mindset, she always wanted to build a family, she had a miscarage on the night she was doing the vevo presents shows for the release of badlands and she talks More about on 'Manic'.
2:10 prologue 4:00 100 letters 7:32 eyes closed 9:34 hevean in hiding 12:04 alone 14:48 now or never 17:06 sorry 21:42 good morning 23:14 lie 26:23 walls could talk 28:06 bad at love 31:40 don't play 33:50 strangers 38:08 angel on fire 41:01 devil in me 43:44 hopeless
it's important to keep in mind that Badlands and hopeless fountain kingdom are in the perspective of "Halsey" and Manic is in the perspective of "Ashley" so Manic doesn't continue the story of Badlands and HFK but it does give us insight on who Ashley really is. love your reactions as always! keep up the good work
👏 This album is a concept album around the idea of Romeo & Juliet. She did a very interesting interview with Zane Lowe and Baz Luhrmann ( creater of the 96" Romeo & Juliet. ) explaining ideas and what not. #enjoy
bro I arrived at this channel as a swifter chasing to see the react of a kanye´s fan to taylor albuns. And now im not just starting to get in the world of selena and halsey too, as much as I became a fan of the man himself, Fabrizio Salerno
ALSO, the aesthetic/inspiration for this album is Baz Luhrman’s 90s rendition of Romeo & Juliet “Romeo + Juliet”, and the music videos have nods to the film- with the two households. Aureum and Angelus. Aureum is the badass, dark house - she said “Don’t Play” is the aureum house anthem! - and Angelus is the purer household. Kind of fits her theme of unrequited love, since that’s the whole storyline of R&J!
the mystery of "strangers" cleared up: so halsey is big on lgbt+ representation in songs that isnt strictly about the "omg its a girl with a girl!!" because she and Lauren (her feature) both identify as outspoken bisexual women. In the song strangers, Halsey is discerning the difference between a fuck buddy and romantic partner/lover. For example, that first line implies that kissing is too romantic for a fuck buddy because it has relationship-like connotations, so her partner "said that we're not lovers, we're just strangers with the same damn hunger to be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all." As in, they're both starved for physical connection with another person but just because they can satiate each others needs in that context does not mean they're in love with each other or make them a capital c Couple. The fact that the person Halsey is singing about is another woman is an afterthought-she just happens to be a she. By doing this, Halsey has created an LGBT+ song in which the homosexuality isn't the main focus of the song, because most are. She wanted to just write a song where the main focus/message was the situation she was in.....that just so happened to involve two women.
“Hoping we get more into the lyrical ability that she has and the production is crazy” You have no idea 😍 Also jarooogy! Ahaha it’s “her-eggy” (Lauren Jauregui)
My faves are 100 Letters, Now or Never, Bad at Love, Good Mourning, Sorry, and Hopeless, but honestly this whole album goes off. Between the aesthetics, the story, the lyrics, and the music, Halsey showed us what she could do when this came out. Now I can’t wait for the reaction to Manic. It’s something else entirely, so vulnerable and cool. And please listen to Nightmare first! It’s not on the album, but it’s a part of the era.
i hope you check out some of her live performances after the albums, she really takes everything to another level as a performer. and 100 letters live hits differently🥺
we need a reaction to all her music videos now! you have to watch the hfk music videos in order though bc they all connect together to make a visual story like how the music creates a story through the audio
Can't wait for the Manic reaction! Manic, for me, is just a whole new level of her music, especially the lyrics. The lyrics are so relatable and beautiful written. When I first listened to it almost every line made me squeal like you do haha! You'll love it 🤩
The Weeknd was in the studio humming the verse melody to Eyes Closed, and Halsey overheard it and immediately they wrote Eyes Closed together. Sia also helped write Devil In Me.
im upset that he missed the change in the lyric from Alone that is "everywhere i go i got a million different people trynna KICK it but im still alone in my mind," to "everywhere i go i got a million different people trynna HIT IT but im still alone in my mind,"
So glad that you like it!!!! I hope you also react to their videos💕 They are very cinematic, especially hopeless fountain kingdom. I recomend you that you watch the list that its in order, its a better experience.✨
Halsey is very versatile. Manic takes another twist into a few other genres as well. Plus, she also writes her own music as well. And she has a unique voice that sound great in studio. She could do just about any style of music if she wanted to.
this album got me through the worst problems with my friends, my toxic relationship and breakup, and the worst mental health i’ve ever had. hfk is my favorite album after reputation (ever) and it’s got a huge place in my heart
I know I’m a little late to the party lol but what I got from 100 Letters and being in a similar situation is her laying on dirty bathroom floors meant they were fighting and to get away from it all she would lock herself in the bathroom to just some peace and quiet. I could be wrong though lol
I cannot WAIT for you to hear manic!!!!! if i may say something, and you'll probably never even see this comment, but the tracks "forever...(is a long time)", "Dominic's interlude" and "I HATE EVERYBODY" are supposed to be listened to back to back, like, they transition into each other so for a change you could consider hearing that trio of songs switchup (similar to how the beat of billie eilish's "ilomilo" creeps in at the very end of "bury a friend," which is right before it; blurring the two songs into one) and pausing the song after that.
Couldn't agree more. I was talking more so about the album sticking to the theme of sophomore albums! Not my favorite from his, "Nothing Was The Same" takes the cake
I love your analyses usually, but you're wayyy off on strangers,,, Halsey is bisexual, and the fact that she's singing to a woman isn't really the point of the song!! it's just like any song about a breakup or a casual flirtation or whatever exactly it's about, and it happens to be to a woman because she likes women as well as men
Exactly! I said that in the video it's her expressing the fact that these two are both hopeless lovers looking to fill the void by being intimate amongst each other. But also like not taking it too seriously to fully commit to a relationship. That's what it sounded like to me at least
