Manic, released on January 17, 2020, is Halsey’s third studio album and one of her most personal and genre-defying works. The album is an intimate exploration of identity, mental health, relationships, and self-discovery, blending elements of pop, rock, hip-hop, and country to reflect the chaotic and multifaceted nature of human emotion.

The album’s raw and introspective nature is evident from tracks like the confessional “Clementine” and the vulnerable “Finally // Beautiful Stranger.” Halsey showcases her versatility with the chart-topping “Without Me,” a pop anthem of heartbreak and empowerment, and “Graveyard,” a hauntingly melodic exploration of toxic love. Collaborations with artists like BTS (“SUGA’s Interlude”), Alanis Morissette (“Alanis’ Interlude”), and Dominic Fike (“Dominic’s Interlude”) bring diverse perspectives and textures to the album.

Lyrically, Manic delves deep into Halsey’s psyche, tackling themes of self-acceptance, longing, and the complexities of human connection. The album's eclectic sound mirrors its emotional range, making it feel both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Critically acclaimed for its honesty and innovation, Manic is a bold statement of artistic freedom, cementing Halsey’s position as one of the most dynamic voices in contemporary music. It’s a heartfelt, unfiltered journey that resonates with anyone navigating the ups and downs of life.
