Halsey

On-U remix !
trent drags his old production guru back into the mainstream for the first time in a very long time.
have only been able to check it out via spotify and my crappy laptop speakers as no option yet to buy this other than via itunes.
it is of course rather brilliant.
hopefully i will be able to buy it digitally via non-itunes options at some point.

Finally gave this a listen, it's good! I have no idea where Halsey fits into the music world. Is she a pop star? Did this come and go with nary a ripple?

The singles didn’t do so well. But her older songs are still on the radio all the time.

I was intrigued by the prospect of it - NIN-produced pop - but aspects of the record came off as Downward Spiral cosplay, without pushing hard enough in any one direction, pop or abrasive textures

Turns out that Manic is a better record

Nevertheless, it's fun that Kevin Martin and Jack Dangers had elements on a Halsey record

i think this is her best record. i struggled to make it through her previous ones

i love this album it is awesome

I heard Honey played on pop radio at one point. I liked the fact that it didn't sound like anything else around it, more like something that would have been on KROQ in the 90s, something almost Cure-like about it, but I imagine that weighed against it getting playlisted like, say, Graveyard, which was played on infinite loop.
