She just makes me want to do better, get educated, be interested, look at things from a different perspective. I envy her for being who she is so much, how she's able to describe the things she wants to give out, creates a concept for it and turns it into something real. That's what I love about her, because I go through the things she describes as well (I really connected with most songs on Badlands and how angry that album was) but I don't know how to make an art piece out of my experiences, translate them into something bigger than myself and have that as my way of working through things. And she does that.
it's a process, hun, it happens if you absorb the richness around you. and are not afraid to show yourself to the world. real art is nakedness most of the time. vulnerability.
Zanes interviews are always the best wow All three of them are so intelligent I could listen to them talk forever Also ARE WE GETTING A TRACK BY TRACK FROM BEATS1?!? COME ON
I AM SO GLAD SHE MENTIONED THE JUSTIN BIEBER THING. People suddenly saw her as just the random girl in JBs song, as if she didnt write her own full album.
Halsey is so genius and innovative when it comes to the story behind her music- she takes it to a whole paranormal level and amplifies her real life experience into something so out of this world... every song from Badlands and HFK is a work of art- and that just proves how truly talented and unique she is. You can’t compare Halsey to typical mainstream artists.
Baz has always been my inspiration, he's half the reason I studied film. I saw his Romeo + Juliet when I was in high school and I was head over heels for it.
She's such a strong and powerful woman, she has such a beautiful soul, and I aspire to be like her. She has inspired me so much to grow in my musical career.
She's being polite. That's how everyone responds when you're acknowledging what another person is saying. We can just hear it especially loud cause they're all wearing mics.
I am so excited to get behind an artist that has vision. I saw her open for Imagine Dragons and I knew she would be amazing. so far she has not disappointed. Carry on! I will see you on tour and hopefully listen to this new album also 100 times!
astrolo luna "sounds smart?" What the Hell does it matter how she sounds in a conversation lol? A person can be saying a lot, but a whole lot of nothing at all. She's 22. She's not yet even lived life yet. Personally, I'm on the outs with Halsey; I think the way she portrays herself contradicts with the way she wants to portray herself. She wants to seem like some super artistic, but she also just struts herself as really edgy. She mentions this aspect of herself in terms of the public eye. But to be frank, it *just doesn't work.* You have to live the life, walk the walk, strut the strut. If she wants to be *that* kinda artist, she needs to BE that artist, not just want it. Understand?
jonmarc11 but how can you say she hasn't lived her life tho? She writes all her songs herself, and its about the things she's been through and personal experiences. You don't know what others have going on. You can't just say that because she's young she doesn't know anything about life. It doesn't work like that.
jonmarc11 she is in fact an EPIC writer. Her lyrics in the first album are better than a lot of people thing. I mean rockefeller, biggie...she is exposing things about a certain label and most of the people dont know
I'm not saying the life she's described in her lyrics isn't real. I'm saying she hasn't lived her life to its fruition yet. She's *22*. That's not the end of the road for anyone emotionally, artistically--whatever fucking adverb you wanna put there. Let her go through the whole spectrum of things life has to offer before saying she's the quintessential lyricist.
THIS IS FOR EVERYONE THAT THINKS HALSEY COPIED IGGY WITH HER "ALONE" VIDEO, as you can see Halsey had that concept way, way before Iggy's "Savior" video came out.
This is a great interview. I love this style of interviewing artists. It's so much deeper and personal. What I don't understand are the people in the comments finding something wrong with anything. The way she interacts while talking is how anybody (at least in her age range) would do it. No matter her sound or the way she speaks. It's normal. She's polite and talks mature because that's the way you speak when you reflect a lot as an artist. There is literally nothing off about this interview and I really don't understand the wired comments. I never listened to her music but y'all need to chill a bit 😂
the album is about lido and other lovers. mostly lido. she confirmed it in other videos. zach just built the fountain, she only got the title from him.
Everyone's talking about Halsey, but damn, Baz Luhrmann is legit my idol! Romeo & Juliet is amazing!!! I'm hardly a Halsey fan, but now I'll at least check it out now that I know what inspired it (not just for Lauren anymore). Too bad they didn't actually collab.
what a beautiful window into these incredible human beings mind. one of the most incredible interviews I have seen about the arts. Halsey is so young but just doesn't seem it at all.
Although, I can't say for certain if the whole album is like that, since it hasn't come out yet, but from what I've heard so far, it seems to be songs that are about her life, but watered down and made to fit the peoples wants.
From a contractual standpoint, her 2nd album has to be to an extent. Her record company needs her to sell and make money when it comes down to it. Every artists 2nd album is a make or break.
So its like april in 2018 and im watching this lol. but like the whole time - halsey : mhmmm, (in her head) OHHH MYY GODDD plz let me talk... : hahhaahhahahah
Fatima she means that both of there music doesn't really fit in one style like it's not just pop music or rap or whatever which is true they both have unique styles
Daniel Murphy Her concepts are great but they are too big for an album concept. Like her ep room 93 is supposed to be a parallel universe hotel room where the same shitty relationship is repeated over and over. And badlands is this post apocalyptic city trapped by this desert that forbids them from escaping. Like....that would make a really good book series, but for an album, that would be difficult. Imagine she had like a hfk book as like a companion piece to the album, that would be so cool. I'm just saying that she needs to expand on her concepts than just mvs and albums
Never said she was pretending to do things she didn't, it's just the way she speaks sometimes. And it's also just my opinion so you shouldn't take it personally.
She's wrong about being the first lesbian top 40 song. t.A.t.U. dealt with lesbian themes and their songs were huge successes like All the things she said, Not gonna get us etc.
it doesn't matter lol they were still groundbreaking and they don't have to be real lesbians to sing about it, Madonna wasn't pregnant in Papa don't preach. jesus christ
One of the singers of t.A.t.U. is vehemently outspokenly homophobic so yeah, I don't consider them a good example. So Halseys point was still right, there hasn't been a song by two openly LGBT women singing to each other, not two people who admitted they were used as props by their record company to get views.
you're still not getting it, you can bring up anything you want it still doesn't change the fact that All the things she said is a LESBIAN song..like wtf even if they weren't lesbians it still connected with a lot of people who identify with the song. Gosh
🔖👑🦁✝️ look, here's the thing. music has no religion nor Gender. see it's a _w_@_v_e and you can modify it!!! so what you are up to.. ? Let me just say: Music is by far my Religion. Music is the only thing that never failed me. People let you down, music won't. Wuthering heights 1939 one of my all time love story Favorites movies. 👌👍[🎼faith]
The fact that she considers herself a Alternative legend of our generation (before Halsey stans come for me I know she didn’t technically say that but that’s the attitude she portray’s herself of having in all the interviews I’ve watched of hers.) when she’s literally a top 40 pop star with a wannabe tumblr aesthetic is a joke, and Baz was literally so confused and triggered at some points in the interview. and the way she says she’s apart of the LGBT community (when she’s never openly been with another woman before) is just another gimmick to try and be qoute on qoute different and edgy is just beyond unlikeable I wish she would she stop with all this and be herself she just seems like shes trying really hard to be someone she’s not
JC Maldonado Why don’t you ask Ed Sheeran that? Why don’t you ask Bruno Mars that? Why don’t you ask Justin Bieber that? You are being sexist. What is so wrong with artists writing about relationships. What else do you want her to make songs about? Eating noodles? Relationships are so versatile and important to talk about. A huge part of our lives are relationships. Family, Romantic, Platonic, Self relationship, and more.
nets, fliX, & chill$. doooont break up when you can ri brand AFin make up brand. my Ashy: so cute and humble and enthusiastically sweet. also immediately stabs dagger stares through her eX's cold hearts.
More artists need to do long interviews like this where it just feels like a sit down chat. So engaging and I love how passionate she was
Paramore did one with Zane. Its like two parts. I learned so much about the band I didn't know before. So much emotion was there. I loved it!
She just makes me want to do better, get educated, be interested, look at things from a different perspective. I envy her for being who she is so much, how she's able to describe the things she wants to give out, creates a concept for it and turns it into something real. That's what I love about her, because I go through the things she describes as well (I really connected with most songs on Badlands and how angry that album was) but I don't know how to make an art piece out of my experiences, translate them into something bigger than myself and have that as my way of working through things. And she does that.
it's a process, hun, it happens if you absorb the richness around you. and are not afraid to show yourself to the world. real art is nakedness most of the time. vulnerability.
a tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
I wish this interview went on forever
Naoise McMahon srsly!!
My bisexual self passes out as soon as Halsey says lauren
Lauren J what time
every time amen
Zanes interviews are always the best wow
All three of them are so intelligent I could listen to them talk forever
Also ARE WE GETTING A TRACK BY TRACK FROM BEATS1?!? COME ON
I AM SO GLAD SHE MENTIONED THE JUSTIN BIEBER THING. People suddenly saw her as just the random girl in JBs song, as if she didnt write her own full album.
Halsey is so eloquent! And Baz Luhrmann is a true aesthetic icon
Halsey is so genius and innovative when it comes to the story behind her music- she takes it to a whole paranormal level and amplifies her real life experience into something so out of this world... every song from Badlands and HFK is a work of art- and that just proves how truly talented and unique she is. You can’t compare Halsey to typical mainstream artists.
True talk
Baz has always been my inspiration, he's half the reason I studied film. I saw his Romeo + Juliet when I was in high school and I was head over heels for it.
Probably one of my favourite interviews I've heard. Talking about real stuff rather than stuff that will get them meaningless recognition. Love u Hals
She's such a strong and powerful woman, she has such a beautiful soul, and I aspire to be like her. She has inspired me so much to grow in my musical career.
this is too intellectual i love it
Ash is so cute!
Im so completely obsessed and in love and inspired with Halsey and Baz luhrmanns one of my biggest heroes ever
Ash is so brilliant
this album sounds great
drinking game: take a shot every time she says "mhm" or "yeah"
or "like"
''you know''
Badlands I'm drunk. I got too lit in the first 10 minutes.
She's being polite. That's how everyone responds when you're acknowledging what another person is saying. We can just hear it especially loud cause they're all wearing mics.
Heidiheyyy that's not how *EVERYONE* acknowledges what someone said.
She is perfect
how could she be so beautiful and intellectual like I LOVE THIS
I am so excited to get behind an artist that has vision. I saw her open for Imagine Dragons and I knew she would be amazing. so far she has not disappointed. Carry on! I will see you on tour and hopefully listen to this new album also 100 times!
The ignorance in these comments is oh so strong. This is an excellent interview with people discussing actual topics thoroughly.
i'm here for baz luhrmann cause i love the get down but i also love halsey so its all good
she just sounds so fucking smart??? like how
astrolo luna "sounds smart?" What the Hell does it matter how she sounds in a conversation lol? A person can be saying a lot, but a whole lot of nothing at all. She's 22. She's not yet even lived life yet. Personally, I'm on the outs with Halsey; I think the way she portrays herself contradicts with the way she wants to portray herself.

Its not that deep man
jonmarc11 but how can you say she hasn't lived her life tho? She writes all her songs herself, and its about the things she's been through and personal experiences. You don't know what others have going on. You can't just say that because she's young she doesn't know anything about life. It doesn't work like that.

i love halsey so fucking much wow
8:26 Such an important point. Listen to what she is saying here.
I love these interviews!
THIS IS FOR EVERYONE THAT THINKS HALSEY COPIED IGGY WITH HER "ALONE" VIDEO, as you can see Halsey had that concept way, way before Iggy's "Savior" video came out.
Please don't retire if you write something FOR Rihanna Halsey, PLEASE!!!
this is a whole lot of zane and baz tryna get halsey to shut the fuck up I love it
I love watching artist interviews that are like this.
I love you so much Halsey. Can't wait for hfk.
aaaaaaah she is so perfect & I love everything about her vision & her art. CAN IT BE JUNE ALREADY!!!!
Strangers needs to be a single
This is a great interview. I love this style of interviewing artists. It's so much deeper and personal.
What I don't understand are the people in the comments finding something wrong with anything. The way she interacts while talking is how anybody (at least in her age range) would do it.

There is literally nothing off about this interview and I really don't understand the wired comments. I never listened to her music but y'all need to chill a bit 😂
This HAS to be about Lido.
Aura Ali It isn't. She said the guy's name is Zach
Aura Ali nope. Zach (the boy behind bricks)
21 Electra Poppy Crybabies did she mention it in this video?? or another one?
Aura Ali I can't remember if she directly said it or not, but he was the one that built the fountain with her, and there is just so much evidence.
the album is about lido and other lovers. mostly lido. she confirmed it in other videos. zach just built the fountain, she only got the title from him.
Omg the video is BEAUTIFUL
These three people are all just so brilliant in so many senses of the word smh
I never knew I needed Baz Luhrman to direct Halsey's music videos so desperately
Everyone's talking about Halsey, but damn, Baz Luhrmann is legit my idol! Romeo & Juliet is amazing!!! I'm hardly a Halsey fan, but now I'll at least check it out now that I know what inspired it (not just for Lauren anymore). Too bad they didn't actually collab.
23:55 is so so important woah (don’t mind me i’m just rewatching)
Halsey is a musical genius
I'm glad Eleven is making new music
thats a really old and dumb joke
omg.35 minutes.Tnq❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her music gives me such joy and serenity
Baz wearing Gosha is truly ICONIC! haha
She's so talented
Here for Halsey 😊💗
this is so fucking cool she gets to do this kind of thing with such huge names
what a beautiful window into these incredible human beings mind. one of the most incredible interviews I have seen about the arts. Halsey is so young but just doesn't seem it at all.
i love troye sivan
Lol here from January 2020 rewatching
i love this interview
"Yeah..."
What an iconic duo
My god, Baz is a God.
Damn what brand overalls is Halsey wearing? Anybody know?
I'm just excited for Emo Quavo.
Halsey should win oscar
it’s hilarious that looking back at these comments, most of the negative ones here are from MEN 😭
Zane Lowe is being a therapist haha!
Halsey and I are like the same person wow.
I am excited for the album, but I feel like she's giving us what the people want to hear, rather than it being more raw and from the heart.
I agree
Although, I can't say for certain if the whole album is like that, since it hasn't come out yet, but from what I've heard so far, it seems to be songs that are about her life, but watered down and made to fit the peoples wants.
xoavry I feel like she did that with the last album actually. I feel like this one is very genuine
From a contractual standpoint, her 2nd album has to be to an extent. Her record company needs her to sell and make money when it comes down to it. Every artists 2nd album is a make or break.
@leuxcass That is very true. Management in industries, especially the music industry, can be very demanding and controlling.
what time does Lauren jauregui get mentioned
Around 24:30
"I'm not wasting my time here, am I? You told me I'd get a gig!" - Baz Lurhmann
I've been to the town she's from a few times and it was so backwoods I would always think I was about to end up in a Hills have Eyes movie.
Lauren Jauregui’s Part 24:45
Like. Mhm. Yeah .
If it was a drinking game I'd be on my way to the hospital after 5 min
ГОША - on the Bazs t-shirt. Its the Russian name)
😍😘💖💕❤🙌🙌🙌🙌
Alright but who is hfk inspired by ??
lido
so much kitsch
is the album about Zach or Lido ?
Chiara Lido mainly
"you know what i mean"
💥🎤🔥💥🎤🔥
So its like april in 2018 and im watching this lol. but like the whole time - halsey : mhmmm, (in her head) OHHH MYY GODDD plz let me talk... : hahhaahhahahah
She's so wired in this interview. Either she's on something or she's on NO SLEEP.
so jealous she got to meet Baz.
No one said you were the female version of the Weeknd, Halsey.
Fatima actually people did
Fatima I thought that was Lana del rey, lol.
Absolutely, even the weeknd said Lana is the women he is singing to, and that they are musical soulmates. Halsey fans are just delusional.
Fatima she means that both of there music doesn't really fit in one style like it's not just pop music or rap or whatever which is true they both have unique styles
If anyone Banks is the female version of the Weeknd
So she is religious?
In the hot ones interview I remember her saying “I’m not a real religious person”
She's very talented and cool and all but god I can't see past how pretentious she is sometimes.
Daniel Murphy I'm a huge fan of hers but you're right, it annoys me a little too
Daniel Murphy Her concepts are great but they are too big for an album concept. Like her ep room 93 is supposed to be a parallel universe hotel room where the same shitty relationship is repeated over and over. And badlands is this post apocalyptic city trapped by this desert that forbids them from escaping. Like....that would make a really good book series, but for an album, that would be difficult. Imagine she had like a hfk book as like a companion piece to the album, that would be so cool. I'm just saying that she needs to expand on her concepts than just mvs and albums
Daniel Murphy how is she fucking pretending if she is talking about real fucking things she did 😑
Never said she was pretending to do things she didn't, it's just the way she speaks sometimes. And it's also just my opinion so you shouldn't take it personally.
That's what I kind of like about her... is that weird?
If she says like one more time imma lose it
Stop mhming wtf is going on??
I swear the ppl behind the camera is doing some kind of drinking game every time they make that noise.
She's wrong about being the first lesbian top 40 song. t.A.t.U. dealt with lesbian themes and their songs were huge successes like All the things she said, Not gonna get us etc.
Sue Zann Yet, they were fake lesbians, at least Halsey's bisexual
it doesn't matter lol they were still groundbreaking and they don't have to be real lesbians to sing about it, Madonna wasn't pregnant in Papa don't preach. jesus christ
One of the singers of t.A.t.U. is vehemently outspokenly homophobic so yeah, I don't consider them a good example. So Halseys point was still right, there hasn't been a song by two openly LGBT women singing to each other, not two people who admitted they were used as props by their record company to get views.
you're still not getting it, you can bring up anything you want it still doesn't change the fact that All the things she said is a LESBIAN song..like wtf even if they weren't lesbians it still connected with a lot of people who identify with the song. Gosh
anyway all that matters is that she's furthering the female representation of the LGBTQ community in music
🔖👑🦁✝️ look, here's the thing.
music has no religion nor
Gender. see it's a _w_@_v_e
and you can modify it!!! so
what you are up to.. ?
Let me just say:
Music is by far my
Religion. Music is the only
thing that never failed me.
People let you down, music won't.
Wuthering heights 1939
one of my all time love story
Favorites movies. 👌👍[🎼faith]
Lol.
wtf is this theme in church!!
4:58 Ashley, what the hell was that?
She says "like" WAY too much. Its distracting...
Christina Gina A symptom of bipolar.
The fact that she considers herself a Alternative legend of our generation (before Halsey stans come for me I know she didn’t technically say that but that’s the attitude she portray’s herself of having in all the interviews I’ve watched of hers.) when she’s literally a top 40 pop star with a wannabe tumblr aesthetic is a joke, and Baz was literally so confused and triggered at some points in the interview. and the way she says she’s apart of the LGBT community (when she’s never openly been with another woman before) is just another gimmick to try and be qoute on qoute different and edgy is just beyond unlikeable I wish she would she stop with all this and be herself she just seems like shes trying really hard to be someone she’s not
She doesn't need to date a female publically just so u can be satisfied with it.
I tried to watch this interview, but her "like" every other five words is nauseating.
sorry but baz is awful director
Axa One people that think Luhrmann is a subpar in his vision and direction usually don't pay enough attention to his work to understand it
ugh, this is unbearable
WTF?!? My skin was clear???! Racist enough?!
subwaysurfer Why is this racist?
We get Halsey you're an artist, but do all your songs have to be about relationships.
JC Maldonado Why don’t you ask Ed Sheeran that? Why don’t you ask Bruno Mars that? Why don’t you ask Justin Bieber that? You are being sexist. What is so wrong with artists writing about relationships. What else do you want her to make songs about? Eating noodles? Relationships are so versatile and important to talk about.
