Halsey Channels Music Legends in New Album "The Great Impersonator"
Halsey is set to make waves in the music industry with her upcoming fifth studio album, "The Great Impersonator," which pays tribute to some of the most iconic musicians of all time. This innovative project showcases Halsey’s talent for transformation as she channels the essence of nine legendary artists, each one representing a unique facet of music history. It's an homage to the past, drenched in nostalgia, and a showcase of her artistic versatility.
In a powerful statement, Halsey expressed her vision for the album: "Witness the uncanny ability of a woman who can become anyone, anything your heart desires. Friend, lover, foe. She transforms before your very eyes, her voice and visage a reflection of your deepest dreams and darkest fears. But beware, for she is not just a master of disguise but a spirit of transformation, slipping between the cracks of reality. One moment a beloved friend, the next a shadowy nightmare. She is the queen of the uncanny, the mistress of metamorphosis. Beware of the great impersonator!"
Among the musical legends Halsey is paying tribute to, Dolly Parton stands out first, with Halsey beautifully emulating the country icon's album cover from "Rainbow." She shares her admiration for Parton, stating that the track "Hometown" draws inspiration from the country star's immense influence on music and her own life. Next, we see Halsey take on British alternative artist PJ Harvey, embodying the unique aesthetics of a 1995 cover featuring Harvey, reflecting her love for the artist and her song “Dog Years.”

Another transformation sees Halsey stepping into the shoes of Kate Bush, capturing her striking image from a renowned photograph that perfectly complements the haunting tone of her song “I Never Loved You.” Cher, the quintessential pop diva, is also featured, with Halsey mimicking the glamorous look from a famous photo of Cher in a dazzling jumpsuit. Halsey’s love for Cher shines through, particularly in the song “Letter to God (1974).”
As we dive deeper, David Bowie takes the stage next. Halsey pays homage to Bowie’s legendary persona with a bold interpretation, embodying the master of reinvention and transformation himself. Halsey affectionately describes Bowie, referring to him as “The Picasso of Pop.” Following closely is Amy Lee, the lead singer of Evanescence, who is hailed as Halsey’s "OG dark rock queen." She skillfully recreates the iconic cover from Evanescence's "Fallen," complete with Lee's signature jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes.
Halsey doesn’t stop there; she also honors the late Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries, whom she jokingly refers to as her “long lost mother.” This tribute highlights the undeniable impact O'Riordan had on Halsey’s artistic journey. The transformation into the punk rock goddess includes a nod to O’Riordan’s iconic pixie cut.
The legendary Stevie Nicks is another focal point for Halsey, who captures the ethereal beauty of the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman, channeling her mystical aura through a flowing outfit that harkens back to Nicks' days of rock and roll magic. Lastly, Halsey honors Bruce Springsteen, showcasing a spirited homage to the rock star with a nod to his celebrated “Born in the U.S.A” album cover. Halsey captures Springsteen’s essence, exclaiming, “This one requires no explanation, I’m a Jersey girl :)”
As Halsey prepares to release "The Great Impersonator" on October 25th, it’s clear that this album is more than just a collection of songs. It’s a celebration of music history, an exploration of identity, and a tribute to the legends who have paved the way for the artists of today.
