In 2017, the star dropped "hopeless fountain kingdom" which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Three years later, Halsey's career soared to new heights when they released their vulnerable and relatable third album "Manic"(via Discogs). Fans of the broody album were looking forward to the opportunity to watch the New Jersey native perform their greatest hits live. Unfortunately, Halsey had to postpone the Manic tour because of the COVID-19 pandemic for "health and safety" reasons (via Twitter).

The powerhouse duo also worked on the score of "Watchmen" and "The Social Network" as well as earned producer credits on music for Marilyn Manson, Saul Williams, and Lil Nas X (via Variety). Halsey fans are beyond excited about the singer's new album.

One Twitter user wrote, "Hi i just open twitter and halsey announced a new album, life is good today." Another added, "Halsey announcing a new album has cured my depression." Many fans expressed how excited they are for Halsey to collaborate with Reznor and Ross. 

One Twitter user expressed, "If Halsey's new album does in fact have a punk rock vibe I'm gonna be yelling about it for some time because omg I'VE WANTED THIS."
