Turning 26 at the end of September, Halsey honoured her long time tradition of giving her fans a gift on her birthday – isn’t she the best?! This year it was a music video for the personal track ‘929’ from her latest album ‘Manic’. The video is edited together with a string of cute baby Halsey VHS videos while lyrically revealing her inner dialogue that serves as a reflection of her life thus far – “Well who am I? I’m almost 25 / Can’t remember half the time that I’ve been alive”. The music video is a fitting gift to celebrate the arrival of a new age.
She released a deluxe version of Manic
As if a music video wasn’t enough, on her birthday she also released a deluxe digital version of her album ‘Manic’ to celebrate turning 26. The new deluxe edition was recorded in January of this year and includes studio recordings of tracks like ‘I’m Not Mad’ and ‘wipe your tears,’ in addition to stripped-down versions of tracks like ‘3am’ and ‘Alanis’ Interlude’.
