10 Current-Day Music Artists You Should Definitely Be Listening To
2. Halsey
"I've been polite but won't be caught dead / Letting a man tell me what I should do in my bed."
Halsey is an artist that will ultimately end up becoming the voice of a generation in due time. She has achieved much success over the five years she's been making music professionally, and only continues to grow and evolve as an artist.
Halsey burst onto the scene in 2014, releasing her debut EP 'Room 93', and in 2015 releasing her first full-length album 'BADLANDS'. It didn't take long for Halsey to get noticed by mainstream radio, her enigma was too strong not to be detected. Her music moves in a more alternative pop genre, taking elements from modern pop and classic alternative hits along with hip-hop influence to create tales about lies, depression, bipolar disorder, sex, and many other primal human emotions.
While it may seem Halsey is too popular to be mentioned on this list, keep in mind that she is only 24 years old, and thus has so much time to grow as an artist. In fact, in every new song she releases, her style (both physically and musically) changes, making her an artist to definitely be on the look-out for. You can listen to Halsey's albums, as well as her new single 'Nightmare', on Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streaming platforms.
