Halsey Is 'Taking Showers Every Hour' To Forget An Ex In Dynamic Bring Me The Horizon Collab
For every
glossy BTS collab and
dreamy pop team-up she boasts,
Halsey has habitually worn her rock influences proudly.
Her
first hit noticed her declaring she was segment of a generation raised on "Biggie and Nirvana." She sang on a song referencing "
that Blink-182 song," then recruited Travis Barker himself to play drums on a
huge metallic rager. She recorded "
Nightmare," a nu-metal-inspired song that afforded her "a record of the wreckage of her life."
That's why her latest feature, a crunching stomp-pop number with
Bring Me the Horizon that's reminiscent of Linkin Park, makes sense — as much as anything makes sense in our
genre-liberated music ecosystem.
The song is called "¿," and yes it finds Halsey's earthy voice coloring an otherwise industrial but melodic) soundscape. As
darkly inward as pop turned in 2019, "¿" has a certain lightness, thanks to cautiously deployed breakbeat measures and Halsey's winking lyrics: "Oh, so tall, it broke the fourth wall / Guess our fairy tale had several plot holes" and the endearing "Taking showers every hour and I choke on steam / Writing on the resembles and the space between."
The tune is featured on Bring Me the Horizon's new EP, which is truly titled
Music to listen to~dance to~blaze to~pray to~feed to~sleep to~talk to~grind to~trip to~breathe to~help to~hurt to~scroll to~roll to~love to~hate to~learn Too~plot to~play to~be to~feel to~breed to~sweat to~dream to~hide to~live to~die to~GO TO, and which dropped today (December 27).

Queen of the Damned soundtrack glory, above.
