A sense of familiarity and a big earworm of hook are pretty much essential components of a pop song. Add in a dash of controversy and attitude and front of the pack status is close to guaranteed. Having already achieved all of this once with her bad-girl electropop tune Ghost (here), Halsey’s doing it all again with the no holds barred New Americana. “We are the new Americana high on legal marijuana,” she sings, a lyric that’s bound to raise a few eyebrows, but it’s the whole heavy tune as much as the lyric that marks Halsey out as one to watch. Fans of Broods, Chvrches, Indiana and Ellie Goulding (basically the kind of pop that we post a lot of on Breaking More Waves) will be impressed and quite possibly instantly converted. It’s a free download as well. What more could you ask for?
