Halsey is one of my favorite artists that has come into the spotlight, especially with her newest album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Here are 5 of her best songs.
1. Gasoline/Control
Gasoline is a song that sounds like it should be in a movie like The Hunger Games or Divergent, meaning that the lyrics of the song have almost a dystopian feel to it. Halsey even based her album “BADLANDS” on a dystopian world. As soon as Gasoline ends it goes right into Control, a dark more intense song off the album talking about the demons in her head.

2. Is There Somewhere
Is There Somewhere is a heart-wrenching song about falling in love with someone who doesn’t love you back. And you really weren’t supposed to fall in love with them, it was just supposed to be a casual thing, because they “love someone else”.

3. Devil in Me / Hopeless
Devil in Me is a desperate cry for help. “I don't wanna wake it up, I don't wanna wake it up, I don't wanna wake it up, The devil in me” she doesn't want to wake up the demons in her, she doesn't want to wake them up and have them take over her body and have them come out. By the end of the song she's saying “Now I gotta wake it up, now I gotta wake it up, now I gotta wake it up, the devil in me” and she can’t help it. She has to let it out. Hopeless closes out her sophomore album, featuring Cashmere Cat to give a electro-pop vibe to it, the song is another heart wrenching song about heartbreak but hoping that the future will hold something different

4. Roman Holiday
Roman Holiday is an upbeat song about love, and just getting away from life at that moment. And in that moment you only have each other and the world is all yours.

5. Now Or Never
Now or Never is one of the more well known Halsey songs. It was her first single off her new album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom and one of her best songs to date. In this song Halsey is basically saying “You have to love me either right now, or not at all.” She’s giving her lover a decision, now or never.
