Halsey Premieres New Song “Now Or Never”
American singer-songwriter Halsey's new song "Now Or Never" was shared online. The song is the lead single from her upcoming sophomore album "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom", which is scheduled for release on June 2, 2017.
A music video for "Now Or Never" will be premiered on April 7th. Watch the video, click here.
She announced about a album title and release date via Twitter in March. It's been two years since her debut album "Badlands".
She has worked with producers including Greg Kurstin, Benny Blanco and Ricky Reed on the new album.
The new album is a concept album of sorts. Its story centers on a pair of lovers in a limbo-like realm that connects to the futuristic setting of the previous album. It is inspired by Romeo & Juliet.
And Halsey said she created the album as an "alternative artist", which used to mean alternative rock.
She told Rolling Stone about the album in the interview;
"The whole reason you make a record is to figure stuff out about yourself. I had killed off a version of myself just so we could make our love work. Sometimes you're in a relationship for so long and you become a different person. You lose yourself because you change for that person. I put the seal on that relationship and fully purged myself of the feelings for that person at the same time as I finished my record. I am more than capable of writing radio music, and hopefully I'll put my money where my mouth is on this album."-
