Halsey's new addition to her discography, "The Great Impersonator" has been named her most authentic and personable project to date.

The entirely solo body of work features 18 original songs inspired by various decades from the 1970s to present date. The first release from her fall drop, "The End", inspired by Amy Lee of Evanescence is an emotionally tolling song whose simplistic sound contrasts the deep meaning behind its story. The song is listed as the final installment on the album, symbolic to the feeling following her recent lupus diagnosis.
"Lucky", the follow up track was inspired by the pop princess herself, Britney Spears and her 2000s hit, "Lucky" from the groundbreaking "Oop!... I Did It Again" album. The accompanying music video was directed by Gia Coppola, the granddaughter of the talented film director, Francis Ford Coppola. The fun yet alarmingly symbolic visualizer features Halsey managing a double life of being both a celebrated singer whilst managing her burdening health issues.
