Halsey drops new track and music video ‘Safeword’
Pop music sensation Halsey recently treated fans to a new single titled “Safeword,” alongside an edgy accompanying music video. The release follows the announcement of Halsey’s upcoming “Halsey: My Last Trick” Tour. An artist known for defying genres and expectations, Halsey’s last album, “The Great Impersonator,” dropped in October and has continued to captivate audiences.
Accumulating an impressive 50 billion global streams and boasting over 75 million RIAA-certified adjusted singles, Halsey’s impact on the music industry is undeniable. With all four of their albums certified by the RIAA and four songs surpassing 1 billion streams on Spotify, Halsey’s influence is truly groundbreaking. In 2024, “The Great Impersonator” earned Halsey the top spots on several Billboard charts, including Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Halsey’s previous album, “Manic,” also peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2020. The success story continued with “Hopeless Fountain Kingdom,” released in 2017, which claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and the Canadian Albums Chart. Additionally, the album was awarded double Platinum status by the RIAA in the US, solidifying Halsey’s position as a chart-topping artist.
In 2021, Halsey expanded their creative endeavors with the launch of about-face, a multifaceted makeup line designed for everyone. Embracing the concept that no one is defined by a single identity, about-face celebrates the imperfectly beautiful aspects of humanity. This venture has seen immense success, quickly becoming a leading cosmetic brand. Halsey later introduced af94, a brand aimed at stimulating creativity and playfulness among makeup users, further showcasing their innovation and artistry in the cosmetic industry.
The multi-talented artist’s accomplishments extend beyond music and cosmetics. Halsey’s poetry collection, “I Would Leave Me If I Could,” debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers list in November 2020, demonstrating their literary prowess. Recognized as one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and the recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Hal David Starlight Award, Halsey continues to use their platform to advocate for important causes. From disenfranchised youth and women’s rights to mental health and LGBTQ rights, Halsey is a vocal activist for social justice and equality.
As Halsey continues to push boundaries, break records, and inspire fans worldwide, their latest release, “Safeword,” is another testament to their artistry and ongoing impact on the music industry. With a powerful message and captivating visuals, Halsey’s music and creative endeavors continue to resonate with audiences on a global scale.
