The Great Impersonator is the fifth studio album by American singer Halsey, released on October 25, 2024, by Columbia Records, marking her first release with the label. Her first full-length release since If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power (2021), Halsey conceived it as a confessional concept album believing it would be her last project after being diagnosed with lupus and a T cell lymphoproliferative disorder. It contains reflections about Halsey's personal struggles with life and death. Musically, it encompasses pop, folk, and subgenres of rock, with references to music from previous decades.
Halsey wrote and co-produced The Great Impersonator with several collaborators, including Alex G, Michael Uzowuru, Greg Kurstin, Tyler Johnson, and Emile Haynie. The album was initially teased with the promotional single "The End". It was supported by the lead single "Lucky", which was followed by "Lonely Is the Muse", "Ego", and "I Never Loved You". As part of the album's promotion, the singer impersonated musicians and public figures that inspired the songs.
Receiving positive reviews from music critics, the album's raw nature and honesty as well its eclectic sound were praised. The Great Impersonator debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming Halsey's fifth consecutive record to chart within the top two. It has also reached the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Scotland, and the United Kingdom. Adding onto that, the single "Lonely is the Muse", won the best alternative song at the 2024 Snammys, a fan run award show by the Evolution of a Snake podcast.
Background and concept
[edit]I made this record in the space between life and death. And it feels like I've waited an eternity for you to have it. I'll wait a bit longer. I've waited a decade, already. - Halsey prior to the release of the album[1][2]
The album's release was intended to be the same day as the anniversary of Room 93 (2014), though it was moved up by two days. It was recorded from 2022 to 2024 when she was struggling with her lupus and T-cell disorder diagnoses[3][4] as well as birth of son Ender.[5] Halsey stated she believed it would "be the last album [she] ever made."[6] Various producers have been credited between the three tracks released.[7][8]
"Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Behold the marvel of a century! 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!"
— Halsey, The Great Impersonator synopsis
The album focuses on exploring Halsey's authenticity and relationships and her interpretation of their resonance with various contexts.[9] This includes exploring how her music would have sounded in different decades, from the 1970s to the 2000s. Halsey expressed that, after her diagnoses, she felt detached from her body, as if she was "impersonating" herself, thus coming up with the concept and references for the album.[10]
Promotion and release
[edit]The album's trailer was released on August 27.[11] A global scavenger hunt preceded the reveal of the album's primary and alternate cover arts corresponding to different decades on September 5.[12][1] The album was first teased alongside the release of the promotional single, "The End" on June 4, 2024.[13][14] This was followed by lead single "Lucky" on July 26, second single "Lonely Is the Muse" on August 15,[15][16] and third single "Ego" on September 6.[17] The fourth single "I Never Loved You" was released October 10.[18][19] The album was released on October 25.[20] Additionally, a photo project on her social media served as a countdown leading up the album's official release.[21]
On October 8, Halsey initiated an 18-day countdown on social media for the album's release, with her releasing an Instagram image of herself "impersonating a different icon every day and teasing a snippet of the song they inspired" every day during that period. The artists and their respective inspired tracks were the following, released in this order:

Composition and themes
[edit]Musically, The Great Impersonator has been described as pop rock,[38] alternative rock,[39] indie rock,[39] folk,[39] and pop.[39]
After being diagnosed with lupus and a lymphoproliferative (T-cell) disorder, the album contains reflections about topics such as Halsey's own death, her life trauma, her parents, and how her child would carry on without her. This concept is put through the lens of how Halsey's music would have sounded if she had debuted in the '70s, '80s, '90s or '00s, incorporating numerous musical references from those eras.[9][40][41]

The Great Impersonator received positive reviews upon release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from publications, the album has a weighted mean score of 79 based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favourable reviews".[42]
Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic wrote that, "mining her musical upbringing and honoring her myriad inspirations, Halsey comes full circle, connecting her own youth and innocence with intimate adult ruminations on parenthood, aging, and legacy." Yeung also dubbed the album "an engrossing homage to the figures that made her into the artist [...] that she has become herself."[44] Writing for Beats Per Minute, John Amen commented, "With The Great Impersonator, Halsey deftly wields the enticements of pop, all the while exploring ageless issues regarding self, suffering, and the pursuit of wholeness."[45] Caitlin Chatterton of Clash wrote that the album "is both deeply personal and sharply relevant to wider pop culture, quietly contributing to conversations being had by, and about, Chappell Roan, as well as those that have followed the death of Liam Payne."[46] Dork's Neive McCarthy dubbed the album Halsey's "most concrete, real work".[47] Emma Wilkes of Kerrang! wrote, "It perhaps didn’t have to be so lengthy...however, its concept...and...it's sheer emotional weight all serve to make this record special...as a document of Halsey’s survival."[48]
NME's Kristen S. Hé thought that, "looking back through her recent catalogue, Manic is more stylistically diverse, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power more musically ambitious, but The Great Impersonator is Halsey's most honest album – that is if you choose to believe her."[49] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone opined that The Great Impersonator was "the bleakest music Halsey has ever made, and that's saying something". Sheffield further pointed out that "there's a constant tension between the playful wit in the music and the sluggish gloom of the vocals. But the best moments on The Great Impersonator come when the music wins out. Playing around with the past seems to shake up her imagination — and point her toward the future."[50] Characterizing the album rollout as "one of the most unique [...] in recent memory" and pointing out a lack of commercial songs, Rachel R. Carroll of PopMatters concluded "this is not an album designed to be a chart-topper; it's a masterclass in the ways we use art to survive—which is to say, a masterclass in honesty."[51] Slant's Sal Cinquemani thought that the singer's impersonations were flawed: "So what if the most prominent feature of a song attributed to Björk's impact on Halsey as an artist is a string sample obviously inspired by Enya's 'Orinoco Flow'? Nobody could ever mistake these songs for anyone's other than Halsey's." However, he ultimately praised the album; he thought that Halsey's "often obvious" references "rarely feel derivative".[26]
In a negative review, writing for Pitchfork, Shaad D'Souza wrote that "much of The Great Impersonator does feel like it's designed to position Halsey as a tortured, singular artist". He went on to conclude that Halsey is "not great at channeling artists from eras gone by" nor is she "a particularly sharp assessor of modern celebrity. So what then? Is it enough, as The Great Impersonator so clearly wants us to believe it is, to say you've suffered for your art, and your fans, and call it a day?"[38] Halsey took to Twitter to respond to D'Souza, stating "I think it’s so beautiful that everyone interprets things differently."[52]
Commercial performance
[edit]Upon release, The Great Impersonator debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 93,000 units in its first week and becoming Halsey's fifth consecutive studio album to chart within the top two.[53]
