- Halsey on Losing Herself to Find Herself Again. 2017
One of Halsey's key artistic traits is the candor that drives both her music and her relationship with her audience. Whether the subject is politics or romance, the singer behind "Ghost," "Colors" and "New Americana" always cuts to the chase, unearthing emotions that are often brushed aside by others. Her new 'hopeless fountain kingdom' album was written and recorded in the wake of a breakup, the "misadventure" of star-crossed lovers as she reveals in album's "Prologue." Halsey recently performed the songs for the first time ever at our Vevo Presents show in LA, and in our exclusive interview she sat down with Kim Taylor Bennett to elaborate on their origins, plot twists, and meanings. Along the way she explained how Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo + Juliet' helped her shape the narrative, how she crafted the traits of her lovers Luna and Solace, and how she had to come to grips with herself when her ex was no longer in the daily picture. Big questions and intriguing options sprouted immediately, and she tells Bennett all about them. "When I'm making a record, I want my fans to know the characters and know the story," she says. "It's kind of liberating, being so honest. Because it keeps me being honest with myself."
Director: Evan Cohen
Producer: Kim Taylor Bennett

"The songs are not about him...the songs are about me and that's the most important part..." I LOVE HER
she seems pretty self absorbed
We Stan self love and a woman with a successful career
Halsey is polarizing and misunderstood. People either love her or hate her. She keeps it real and if anything at all, you'll get an honest response or answer from her. That's why I'm a fan of her.
Not only that, but she also did nothing controversial or evil, no reason for people to hate her but they still do??? Idk.
I love her😊
"People either love her or hate her." I am indifferent.
I think she gets hate because she comes off as pretentious sometimes. Other than that, she seems like cool peoples
Vivianne Telemnar people r jealous and stupid as shit that's y. Halsey is pretty awesome.
That part when she said she saw a fans life process and she does it with so many fans literally made me cry she cares sooo much
I know, I am literally sitting here sobbing in my room on a Saturday night
Something about listening to her talk is satisfying
itsjustadelaide I thought I was the only one that thought that 😩😍
itsjustadelaide exactly what I always think ❤️❤️😂😂
I love hearing her talk. It entertains me.
adelaide I’m watching this to make fun of her voice and laugh
Her voice is so unique and beautiful tone even she speaks
"You've been replaced, I'm face to face with someone new" I always thought she referring to another partner, but in reality she is referring to herself. To the person she has become after the break up, hopefully someone stronger. Halsey really is such an inspiration and her explaining the songs aren't about her lover, has completely changed my perspective on this album. I can't wait to listen to it again and re-evaluate it.
“woman of color” doesn’t just mean ur physical appearance, it refers to your ethnicity as well. she’s half black regardless of whether or not she’s white passing. she knows she’s white passing and acknowledges the privileges that come with it all the time, and she uses her privilege for good. but disregarding her race completely just because she’s white passing is ignorant in itself. she has the right to connect and embrace the other part of her race as well.
I agree with you on some parts. but you need to know some history. white ppl with african blood were called 'free people of color' and they weren't enslaved. the other ppl were called colored ppl. but later on ppl found it offensive and changed it to' ppl of color'. it was purely based on one's color. but after the immigration of other races to us. they were also called the ppl of color regardless of their skin color for the representation of minorities. So countries like canada use 'Visible minority'. Also white ppl with african blood is more privileged than white ppl themselves. if you ever been to a college u'll understand it. halsey is only 25 % black. i'm 25 % european, 25 % african and 47 % indian what would you call me ? she can say she's biracial or. but never black or person of color.
Bre Ezy, no one gets to rob someone of their identity, just because the percentage isn’t perceived to be high enough to ‘count’.
No one is trying to rob anyone's identity my dear. the only issue here is she identified herself as POC which she is not. but she definitely has African roots in her DNA. She is just a white kid whose parents happen to be of white and half white races. also racists didn't and don't run a background check and DNA test on someone right before they start being racists. it was purely about the way they looked. If white is black i don't really understand the point of the term 'color' in 'Person of color'.
She was born in America and this country see any one who is born of mixed race as the minority mix. Jim Crow laws had the one drop law... This country hasn't evolved too much with the racial identity.
@@breezy8854 if a racist person found out a person was part black even tho they didn't know it, 99.999% of the time, they'd start being racist to that person.
The fact i'm watching this in 2021 after Halsey had her baby and she's finally happy just strikes harder. I'm so glad she was able to find what she wanted cause that woman deserve the whole world for herself
That's just amazing how I felt during all her interview. I had the great impression of knowing her, as if she was a friend of mine, as if we were sitting next to each other talking. She's such an inspiration, and even if she's this "celebrity" she stays humble, herself, lovely and true to herself and everybody around.
That's just perfect, I could listen her for hours and never getting bored! :*
exactly
exactly
Zwiezraczek Brown really! I could also listen to her for hours!
Crazy how that's exactly what I thought!
Zwiezraczek Brown pollyanna
This is probably the best interview about an album I've ever watched... Her album is so well written and so much meaning behind it
I really liked the vibe of this interview. You can tell that she's being 100% genuine and open to her fans and I appreciate it. And I mean, her songs are freaking amazing too.
It's interesting when an artist talks about how the album was created, as it gives us the chance to follow your line of reasoning and thus understand the way the songs were created and how they will affect you. Hopeless Fountain Kingdom is an incredible album and the more I know the stories behind their songs, the more Halsey becomes incredible to me.
I had totally similar feelings when I first listened to this masterpiece!
SAME!
And now G-eazy cheated
She definitely didn't deserve this
What an amazing woman, you need to get lost to find yourself again.
She thinks she black lmfao 😂
Turd Ferguson it’s annoying that because she looks white, people don’t allow her to embrace her black heritage.
Tanisha S completely agree
I could listen to her talk forever
I asked my parents if I could go to one of her concerts, they said no “we don’t like the things that she talks about” she is describing what she went through. Yes, she talks about sex on the album but she is saying what she did to please them so that they would be happy. So that they wouldn’t criticize her. This is why Halsey is important, she describes what it is like to go through things and what she did to get out of them.
This is why we love her, you can always feel the authenticity in her, she doesn't hide or twist who is she in front of the world, she is just being herself and honestly if any one of you doesn't like that just because she's acting like a bitch or snake, you can definitely get the fuck out. Real fans understand her and will stay.
Who would hurt Halsey? I hope she finds someone who gets her and can work with her.
Lireoec she did, g-eazy 😊
Lireoec Gerald 👍👍
Lireoec she's with g eazy now
G EAZY I LOVE HIM
YUP HIS NAMES G EAZY
literally every interview of her i watched over the past two years has been amazing, insightful and inspiring. she's so articulate and intelligent and she seems so well versed even though she's so young, i could honeslty listen to her talk all day and it makes me wish i could have a genuine conversation with her sometime 😍
i have chills listening to her talk about her fans omg
Her singing voice though,
Put a sweater on
oh my god same
I honestly totally relate to Halsey. I remember when my past relationship ended I didn't really know who I was without them.
I loved this! I feel like such a Halsey noob because I just discovered her recently, but OMG I'm completely smitten by her!
I was crying as she talked about her self awakening, and she's so young. It took me over 40 years to find my self again, I love seeing younger people finding themselves at a young age. She's a beautiful, remarkable, incredibly talented, young lady.
AWH :D 2 years late like the other dude
I love this so much. I feel every single thing you're saying. Definitely going through a soul searching moment. I was engaged... pregnant and had a miscarriage. Left the mentally abusive relationship. Now I'm alone, really alone and learning to love myself without the love of someone else. Feeling so lost but never felt better, honestly. Annnd I saw you at bumbershoot in 2016. You were what I was looking forward to and you were incredible. I relate so much to your music and I absolutely adore you. Thank you. 💙
EccentricVirgo hope your doing well. Loved your comment. Sending good vibes 😘
It's amazing how you can truly hear the inspiration behind her music like Eyes Closed being inspired by Abel (the Weeknd) and then her other songs being inspired by her own emotions and experiences like Bad at Love. I don't get caught up in what others say negatively about her because if I can find what matters to me in her music then that's all that matters overall. Others can say all the shit they want but they can't block the emotions Halsey puts out in her music and also the emotions I feel while experiencing her music. Much love and respect to Halsey ❤
Who in the actual hell, in the their right mind, would break up with Halsey? That's the biggest mistake that guy will ever make, I love you Halsey.
She’s unapologetically honest. I live it. We need more of that
hfk is a masterpiece 😍🌈 Halsey queen
This is the best Halsey interview I’ve seen so far. She is so much deeper than the public portrays her as. I’ve been a huge Gaga fan since the beginning, and I think she always had this issue as well. Until recently, she’s been taken seriously as an artist/activist. I feel it’ll be the same for Ashley. Someday the world will appreciate her and she will get the recognition she deserves as a person/activist and not just as an artist that is often misunderstood.
I needed to hear this.... This is why I love this woman.. Thanks VEVO for bringing us this video..
i love looking at this woman, her music.. aaah
Literally whenever she sings, no matter what song it is. I get shivers. Everywhere. That's how I know she is my favourite artist, I've never felt that with any artist before.
You don’t expect musicians these days to have depth. So, it was surprising (and a treat) to hear her well-thought-out responses and to see her poise/confidence. And, she seems to definitely have the IT factor that a lot of people and fans can relate to:
I've never really listened to her lyrics until nightmare and i loved it, so often main stream music is so over played you listen to the whole production, maybe the hook but when you actually take time to listen and understand the lyrics its powerful stuff.
I am a fan, her music is honest and raw, she has an authentic voice and style, can not wait to see her live in october
So refreshing seeing an artist who reached the levels of success in the mainstream music industry that she has who is still authentically herself.
I’ve never understood why so many people used to not like her, I literally can’t see a single reason why, she’s stunning inside and out.
This has given me so much insight on the kind of person she is. I love her so much more after watching this. She is amazingly introspective, and articulates her experiences so clearly that I can’t help but empathize. I love her storytelling ability, and now the way her music resonates with me makes so much more sense. She’s the only female vocalist who has interested me in the last ten years
"wow that groth is so fff.... special..." she's great
she realizes were all human and doesnt get lost in the "celebrity" world. a lot of people cant do that and i love that she can come out and talk about it in front of people.. i couldnt do that to save my life. i feel the emotions in her songs and cant say i know how she feels but ive experienced some of what she has and i know how i felt. i love listening to her and cant wai to see her live!
She's such strong woman. And honestly, I feel like she's the only woman who understands me right now.
the love of my life❤ this interview was so good i can listen to her talk all day
Andrea Vides yes, me too .

if you hate halsey why are you here?
Aria frangipane Recommended by youtube.
Gots why'd u click on the video
Allison Grove To comment on this comment.
I don't hate her.....But this video was recommended, so I clicked.
...To make them feel like theyre doing something with their lives.
What an honest response to a very intimate experience. This girl is fire and extremely mature.
In tears when she talked about the personal experiences of her fans. You could tell she was too. This girl's heart is pure gold.
funny she said you could feel Abels spirit in "eyes closed" when i literally was thinking that listening to the album... i didn't know he co-wrote it.... thats amazing.
Even as she describes it, she’s so poetic.
please halsey !!! hopeless fountain kingdom trailer!!
Franco Jesús it's out
Still love her in 2020! From room 93, to badlands, to HFK, to manic! It’s so sweet!
"this massive pop song...and for me there's no STORY. It's kind of like when you're watching a movie and the director doesn't give you enough expository background on the characters before something big happens in the movie. And then, all of sudden, there's like a big dramatic plot point and you're like 'I don't care about this because I don't KNOW these people"" - Halsey. YEEESSS. I have movies and songs and books like that. Art has to make you care about the characters - feel like you know and understand them and empathise with them. Halsey is smart and beautiful.
I don't think I have ever identified with anyone as much as I have identified with what she is saying here and in her music. Its quite a liberating feeling to relate with someone so strongly. Its like "OK, im honestly not crazy for thinking, feeling and acting the way I do."
She is absolutely gorgeous
Go girl. Do not let everyone control you. Don’t lose yourself because YOU are beautiful inside and out ♥️
I love my Queen so much! She is an inspiration to so many, and trust me.. her career is not over, it has only just begun :)
This is why I am such a fan of her. She's so real and not afraid to say the truth.
I started stanning her thanks to BTS, I really discovered one of the most beautiful human being. I think that she really says things that are reliable and she fights for a lot of things in general, Thank you BTS, Thank you Halsey I love you all
When she said that Salas is how she saw her then boyfriend it kinda made me wanna cry because he is an angel...she saw him as an angel and he saw her as something destructive that is just damn
I love her she looks beautiful with short hair it's TRUE when you cut your hair off it shed's off everything ❤❤ Confidence she has!
So not only can she sing like an angel but when she talks its angelic lol such a beautiful voice.
I Love her and so happy to get to know where the music comes from. Thank you Halsey.
she seems so down to earth. just a real woman speaking her mind. i love this girl. she is genuine and real. i like her alot
I love her confidence fuck me up halsey
Being controlled by someone's gaze. That's such an amazing image and truth. Thank you for that reminder. That another person doesn't get to have that power over you. Gotta keep your chin up, look into the direction you need to go in and not get trapped in theirs.
i have loved her way before ghost. god, i need her soul.
Nina Ann are you Satan? You need her soul...tf?
Halsey, you seem like such a beautiful person. I only just recently discovered you, and you are already one of my favorite people on this planet. Keep fighting the good fight. We all adore you.
I'm that big of a fan of Halsey. I mean her voice but nothing really sparked a chord in me yet at least with her voice but talking about this path of losing your way and finding your own path out of it and giving yourself away to someone like....that was me. Hearing this was so relatable and knowing the kind of music she makes is a reason to keep going. Especially since I'm on this path of music too 😊
I love her,the first time I heard her song I thought" Jesus this girls walked into my head and into my soul and put into words what I couldn't". And i still feel this way.
So proud to call her my idol.
The hell I felt like I was having an actual conversation with her. I honestly just love all these vibes I get from her and how perfectly she captures emotions and situations in her music. Love love love love it
Inspirational backstory!👍 I'm a new fan. An artist with DEPTH who's genuine and true to herself and whose voice (and emotions in her voice) are so raw ... Brilliant!
This interview with Ashley and talking about the growth that she has seen with herself and with fans really puts into perspective how much she really cares! That's my big sister who I love so much! She's so fucking down to Earth!
inspiration
I love how the lyrics part: "you've been replaced, I'm face to face with someone new" got a whole new meaning for me when I realized that the album is, just like she said, about her not about him. So that new person she is facing is not a new lover, it's herself bc that's the person she lost and has now rediscovered. I just love her a lot.
why are people hating on this beautiful singer the haters just make Halsey look more beautiful than she is why would a hater click on a video that says Halsey in it when they don't like them? And then take there time to comment something terrible as hate and I took my time to comment on this video to tell the haters to stop it doesn't matter the race of someone or what sex they like to date. if you made it down here thanks for reading and if your a hater click off this video and leave people alone who are you to judge.... bye
Watched this interview a million times and i still can't get over her
AMAZING
she is so magnetic once you allow yourself to understand where she’s coming from
God I love her
i love how halsey is so down to earth and so natural. idk how to explain it but i would love to be her friend
I am so proud of her fuck I hope to meet her asap. I need to thank her for everything she have made for me. I love her so much
im so glad that this community is so accepting. i love being part of it
so inspiring wtf
im sorry i cried when she started talking about how she’s able to see the growth in her fans over time
She rocks every hair style but we all know that already
Is it just me or does it seem like she is the realist celebrity right now?! I really ReAlLy hope she doesn't lose herself! Total respect. 333
She is incredible, such an inspiration!!!!
Damn, I never realized how badly she was hurt by her previous relationship. Like whenever I saw photos, they looked fine, but she had been suffering the whole time. She's really brave for producing this album.
beautiful girl with a beautiful mind
I love how she speaks,
all these girl artist need to take notes . for real. they talk but don't say anything at all.
Halsey Inspires 💜❤
I really don't get this haters, if you hate Halsey then what the hell you doing here ?'
I am amazed. My respect and love for Halsey continues to grow. She is such an inspiration. How grounded she is and how honest and raw she is, is truly a personal inspiration to me.
The part where she says the songs are about her and not about her ex is even more inspiring and empowering. Like wow. This woman is a voice to be reckoned with. And I am truly inspired to put more of myself and my own rawness and honesty in my own work.
Halsey you are an incredible soul 💜💜💜
i am glad she is talking about this topic so openly.
halsey ! i love you!! and i love your blue hair! please come to Perú we love you!
she has such a personality and cares about her fans and work soooooo much and my favs could never. i don't care how much you hate halsey for whatever reason, you have to respect her work ethic because it's outstandingly amazing.
When she started talking about sia I realized my sister was playing "chandelier" in the other room
I know from experience...A WOMAN HAS TO OWN HER POWER !!! Never let anyone tell u who u are.
Women are not put on this earth to please everyone and kiss @ss, F*** that. People will always take
advantage of u. They will let u down. So as long as u r strong enough to LOVE YOURSELF MORE than
anyone else can.... U got it taken care of. When I had to take care of myself and live on my own, being
alone every night,.. it has made me a better person. I was at the same place Halsey talks about in her life.
I find her very easy to understand. The person who doesn't.... obviously has not suffered enough...because
we grow from pain. And some of the best music ever written comes from that place
I guess you're not bad at love at all halsey... #himandI
This is the best type of interview. She is such a beautiful and inspiring woman that uses her platform for the right thing.
LOVE YOU HALSEY! Loved this interview too. You are an Angel on fireeeee. Can't wait to see you in concert again! screw these butt hurt haters don't worry about them, step over them. Keep writing beautiful songs Ashley!
I love her talking about something. I could listen to her all day long without getting bored
Ya hear that TAYLOR SWIFT, she DIDN'T WRITE A SONG ABOUT THE GUY, she wrote the song ABOUT HERSELF... 🔥👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Joellyan Rahman say it louder so the Swifties can get triggered 😂 because I thought the same thing
@Dare to Love ur life Have someone asked? lol
I freaking love her so much! She's such a honest and inspirational human being!
