On Manic, you don’t need a story to follow along, because halsey's own emotional journey resonates so deeply.
Halsey’s third studio album, Manic, is quintessentially an album about being in your twenties, about the muddle of being at what feels like the height of one’s youth and desirability while simultaneously being as uncertain and sensitive as you’ll likely ever be. In your twenties, you’re legally an adult, yes, but you still seemingly lack the power, privileges, and security of full adulthood in many ways.
ADVERTISEMENT But with hopeless fountain kingdom, Halsey retreated musically as well as lyrically. By sticking to a prescribed storyline inspired by Romeo and Juliet, hopeless fountain kingdom abstracted and made generic the confessional, detailed lyrics of Badlands while also staying bogged down by a desire to seemingly keep every song radio-friendly, at the cost of freshness and musical ingenuity .
The tracks on Manic run the gamut from club jams to various flavors of pop to hip-hop to even country and alt-rock, and Halsey’s flexible voice is more than up to the challenge. Most ingeniously, Manic acknowledges the audience’s expectations of each musical genre, ultimately matching every kind of lyrical theme with an appropriate musical style for maximum impact.
Snippets of films as varied as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Jennifer’s Body appear in the tracks “Ashley” and “killing boys,” respectively. Halsey uses Kate Winslet’s famous rejection of a role we might now refer to as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, perhaps to comment on her previous relationships with men as well as the public persona some observers have assigned her.
