THE B-SIDE
Halsey (Astralwerks/Capitol)

WHAT IT IS: With her album debuting at #2 on the sales chart, the newcomer’s explosive rise in 2015 has been built on the strength of her connection with her rapidly growing fan base, her no-holds-barred honesty (both in person and in her music) and a killer live show, honed everywhere from sold-out club shows to arena stages. She’s garnered unanimous and universal critical praise; The New York Times wrote, “[She] is moving fast to share a secret language,” while Redeye Chicago claimed, “This is power-seeking pop music to listen to alone in your room, and then sing out loud with thousands.” Rolling Stone said, “BADLANDS is about to launch [her] into international superstardom.” She’s currently in the running for Favorite Breakout Artist at the People’s Choice Awards and was just nominated for Artist on the Rise at MTV’s EMAs.
