He is credited for his experimental and creative musical discography which has won praise and accolades for many critics and fans.
The man who the world knew as David Bowie was an actor, a painter, a philosopher, and many other things. But first and foremost, and what he was known for most, he was a rock star, covering every genre from psychedelic folk to industrial. His influence on fashion, music, and pop culture in general remains as his legacy--along, of course, with his unforgettable music. How can he be here if he died but otherwise he's decent

I like her song with Macklemore, but never really liked Praying, though I'd still rather listen to that song than the songs that play constantly on the radio now.
I do not think so.

Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, known by her stage name Halsey, is an American singer and songwriter. She was born on September 29, 1994 in New Jersey. She started her career by releasing songs on SoundCloud, and now she is a well-known pop singer with hits like Bad at Love, and Now or Never. She had originated from Tumblr, and believes Hotel Shampoo is racist. There are only a few music artists we have today who are really worthy of the term "artist", and Halsey is one of them. Her songs have lyrics like, "You were red, and you liked me because I was blue, then you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky, and then you decided purple just wasn't for you", or "Don't you see what you're finding? This is heaven in hiding", or "Perhaps hopeless isn't a place, nothing but a state of mind". Not only that, but her songs are also pretty good in general (like Bad at Love, which I just listened to on the radio today).
Halsey is life! Her songs are amazing with quality beats and amazing lyrics. My favorites are Not Afraid Anymore (it's just so catchy! it's good) and Drive (it's beautiful and original. I love the lyrics.
Halsey writes music people can relate to. she doesn't write what people WANT to relate to she writes from the heart and I can't get enough of it. I love halsey sooo much
The best singer ever did not disappoint this year!
