About
After appearing on The Chainsmokers’ fluorescent smash “Closer”, Halsey retreats into darkness. Opening with dialogue from <i>Romeo and Juliet</i> and full of intriguing narratives inspired by Halsey’s own heartbreak, <i>hopeless fountain kingdom</i> is a haunting concept album about doomed love. The Weeknd brings small-hours desperation to “Eyes Closed”, “Now or Never” is gorgeously fragile trap-soul and Halsey’s voice wobbles with self-flagellation on “Sorry”, a piano ballad that would fit snugly on an Adele album. It’s not all so elegantly muted though: “Walls Could Talk” successfully fuses punchy R&B with chamber music.
