I just need to take a minute and say that it’s incredibly poignant and powerful that Halsey has created an album all about pregnancy and childbirth.

Halsey, who infamously struggled through a miscarriage during one of her first big recorded performances. Halsey, who has spoken at length about endometriosis and her struggles to conceive. Halsey, who wrote “More” on her last album, all about her sorrow and regret over lost pregnancies, but tinged with hope that someday, she would meet her child.

It’s so, so important and meaningful that she’s releasing an album like this. She wants to destigmatize and even immortalize the power and strength and softness of those who bear children. She knows the pain of being someone who wants children and thinks they’ll never be able to conceive.

It’s always a delight to witness a new album cycle, and I am always surprised by what she does. I cannot wait to see and hear this new project.

a year.
