i have something to say 👩🏽🦯➡️
#the evolution in halsey’s music is what i expected from solo harry#i’ve been listening to her so much this past week or two and well. i’ve been thinking#obviously i think she’s a great artist. and the more i time i spend thinking abt it the more strongly i believe this#she’s giving me what i wanted harry styles to give me#and there’s a case to be made about artistic integrity vs art for the sake of capitalistic gain#which is where i think they primarily diverge#because with hs1 there was no real guarantee of success. commercial or critical#there was an existing (pop) fan base but none of us knew what he’d give us and whether we’d like it (enough to chart it anyway)#debuting with a 6 min rock ballad was a ballsy move and it remains one of his best work for a reason#hs1 as a body of songs will survive the test of time for a reason#it set fine line up for success with the average fan. and then he sold his soul to the devil with album 3#halsey has been on a completely different trajectory#with every album she caters less and less to critics and makes the art she Wants to make. tells the story she Wants to tell#she stopped chasing the charts a long long time and it shows in her writing!#anyway. if u get it then u get it and if you don’t then u dont#seedpost
