在第三張專輯中，Halsey坦然擁抱那個(gè)二十多歲患有躁郁癥的自己，并渴望收獲愛和溫柔。

Early on?Halsey’s excellent new album,?Manic,?she samples a bit of movie dialogue: “I’m just a fucked-up girl looking for my own piece of mind. Don’t assign me yours.” It’s from the film?Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,?spoken by the manic, pixie dream-girl heroine Clementine. But she definitely speaks for Halsey. And as you’ve probably guessed, the singer doesn’t even come close to finding peace of mind in these songs. Still, she knows how to make it a thrilling quest.?Manic?is Halsey’s raw autobiographical portrait of the artist as a young mess, craving her share of love and tenderness in a hostile world. Yet Halsey’s Ashley Frangipane is a mess who’s a hungrily ambitious artist seeing herself as a mirror for her entire generation.

新?！禡anic》開頭的Halsey同名曲《Ashley》中，她嘗試加入了一些電影對白:“我只是一個(gè)尋找自己想法的女孩。別把你的想法強(qiáng)加給我。” 這句話出自電影《美麗心靈的永恒陽光》中古靈精怪的女孩Clementine之口，她簡直說出了Halsey的心聲。這也是Halsey最喜愛的電影之一。她根本無法在音樂中保持內(nèi)心的平靜。盡管如此，她知道如何沖破混亂與糾結(jié)，找到自我探索之旅的出路。《Manic》更像是Halsey的自傳作品，描繪了這位藝術(shù)家年輕時(shí)的混亂狀態(tài)，但同時(shí)她也渴望在充滿敵意的世界中收獲愛與溫柔。她是一位野心勃勃的藝術(shù)家，把自己視為她這一代人的鏡子。

And she curates one mean mixtape. As she told?Rolling?Stone?last summer,?Manic?is “hip-hop, rock, country, fucking everything.” Who else but Halsey would get stellar guest shots from Alanis Morissette and Suga from BTS on the same album??Manic?is her first album since?Hopeless Fountain Kingdom,?her 2017 Romeo and Juliet trip, set in a Shakespearean dystopia. But?Manic?is about the here-and-now real world and her fight for a place in it as a young woman.

她還策劃了一盤出色的混音唱片。正如她去年夏天告訴《滾石》雜志的那樣，《Manic》的風(fēng)格可能是“嘻哈、搖滾、鄉(xiāng)村、一切”。除了Halsey，還有誰能在一張專輯中同時(shí)得到Alanis Morissette和Suga（防彈少年團(tuán)）的精彩客串呢?《Manic》是她自《Hopless Fountain Kingdom（破碎王國）》之后的第一張專輯，《Hopless Fountain Kingdom（破碎王國）》以莎翁式的反烏托邦主題為背景，所有歌曲都關(guān)于愛人與愛情。但《Manic》發(fā)生于此時(shí)此地的真實(shí)世界，講述了她作為一名年輕女性奮力在其中爭取一席之地的故事。

As she confesses in “Still Learning,” “I should be living the dream/But I go home and I got no self-esteem.” She gets introspective, exploring everything from Lilith Fair folk guitar to South Korean rap. Morissette definitely sounds like a kindred spirit, letting loose some Cher-like wails straight from the?City of Angels?soundtrack while Halsey purrs, “Your pussy is a wonderland.”

正如她在《Still Learning》中坦承的那樣:“我應(yīng)該活在夢想中/但我回家后卻沒有自尊?！?她開始自省，從莉莉絲民謠吉他到韓國說唱，她試了個(gè)遍。Alanis Morissette聽起來絕對像是一個(gè)志趣相投的人，她在《天使之城（City of Angels）》的原聲音樂中直接發(fā)出了一些Cher式的哀號，而Halsey則咕嚕著:“你的身體如同仙境。”

She fantasizes about getting revenge for her emotional wounds in “Killing Boys” and “I Hate Everybody.” In “929” she gives a rundown of her twentysomething angst: loneliness, anxiety, real estate purchases, hair loss, falling in love with drug addicts, nicotine withdrawal, stressing over responsibility to her teen fans. As she quips, “I remember the names of every single kid I’ve met/But I forget half the people who I’ve gotten in bed.” Even as she pays the bills for her family, she feels abandoned, admitting, “I’ve stared at the sky in Milwaukee and hoped that my father would finally call me.”

The album’s moment of bliss is the fabulously spacey country-rock romance “Finally/Beautiful Stranger.” It sounds like her?A Star Is Born?cameo might have fired her up to do her own “Shallow.” But it’s reluctantly hopeful, as Halsey sizes up a new flame — “You got hips like Jagger and two left feet”—and surrenders to the vertigo of letting go and getting her expectations up yet again. It’s a rare glimmer of optimism on an album full of pain. But Halsey makes it feel as true as every other moment on?Manic.?

她在《Killing Boys》和《I Hate Everybody》中幻想著為自己的情感創(chuàng)傷復(fù)仇。在《929》中，她講述了自己20多歲時(shí)的躁郁經(jīng)歷:?孤獨(dú)、焦慮、買房、脫發(fā)、愛上癮君子、尼古丁戒斷、對青少年粉絲的過度責(zé)任感。她打趣道:“我記得我見過的每一個(gè)孩子的名字，但是忘了一半上過床的人的?！彼姓J(rèn)，“我在密爾沃基仰望天空，幻想著父親最終會給我打電話。”

專輯的高潮是單曲《Finally/Beautiful Stranger（美麗的陌生人），講述了一段令人難以置信的鄉(xiāng)村搖滾羅曼史。聽起來客串出演《一個(gè)明星的誕生（A Star is Born）》似乎激發(fā)了她去創(chuàng)作Halsey版的《Shallow（淺灘）》。但隨著Halsey審視新的戀情——“你有Jagger那樣的翹臀還有點(diǎn)笨手笨腳”——她不情愿地抱有希望，并在放棄和再次提高期望的眩暈中屈服。樂觀像是這張充滿痛苦的專輯中一絲罕見的微光。但在Halsey的手中它像其余每一個(gè)陰郁時(shí)刻一般真實(shí)而瘋狂。
