The Great Impersonator CD

The Great Impersonator is Halsey's fifth album for Columbia, built as a concept record where each of its eighteen songs channels a different era-defining artist across pop, rock, and country history. The rollout leaned into that premise hard, with a trailer that had Halsey transforming look by look into one icon after another. It's a record shaped as much by Halsey's own serious health struggles as by its concept, which gives the impersonation act a heavier undertone than the premise alone suggests.
