Halsey - Hometown | Vevo Official Live Performance

Halsey - Hometown | Vevo Official Live Performance
If you found yourself on Halsey’s Instagram in October 2024, you’d have a hard time finding Halsey anywhere. Instead, you’d come face to face with Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell and… oh, wait that IS Halsey! Fans have long marveled at the pop virtuoso’s world building skills (who could forget the ornate, gothic scenery of 2021’s ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power?’), but it feels like Halsey has taken the biggest creative swing of her career with ‘The Great Impersonator.’ She labels it a “confessional concept album.” As the October 25 release day approached, fans watched her inhabit a kaleidoscope of musical heroes. That was only the beginning. We decided to take the nostalgic trip one step further with these Official Live Performances, seeking to answer the questions: “What if Halsey arrived in a different time? What if she recorded in the 1970s, 80s, 90s or early 2000’s?” So we built four interconnected stages reflective of each decade - with vintage outfits and instruments to match. We captured the action on 35mm film for that timeless feel. Leaning into personal authenticity, Halsey did her own makeup. Team Vevo and Team Halsey’s long history of collaboration allowed this to be one of the series’ most ambitious shoots. The fun kicks off on album release day, and spills into the next week. Here’s the details:
10/25 - Panic Attack
10/28 - Hometown
10/29 - Ego
10/30 - Lonely is the Muse

Her voice is so unbelievably beautiful and powerful, Halsey never disappoints us. New album is amazing

[@bethlovesthings]

I saw some hater comment on one of the other videos that she needs a vocal coach, I think they need a hearing test lol

That's that country singer and dolly Parton did it

Definitely a dolly thing. That’s how she wrote 9-5

The song was inspired by Dolly so that makes sense

This hurts so much more because a friend of mine passed away earlier this year around that age too.

1:16 the homage to Dolly with the nails omg 😭

[@mysticvalleyparkway3814]

omg I thought the same

[@AdK-bx3rr]

I've heard the song about a couple of times now, I don't know whether it's inspired by a real-life story or a fictional one but the line "Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's runnin' for a touchdown" is such a bittersweet and poignant way of honoring the death of someone

[@jimbob2427]

So real I can’t relate but this song really strikes me

[@JaeLynn2121]

Im pretty sure ik halsey enough that she wouldn't make that up. I'm sure she used his nickname..but mentioning his mother..thats Halsey's pure heart all the way

[@jackieolazaba8887]

The story is true, she is talking about his brother's best friend. The only thing i'm not sure of is that being his real name

[@yasmincollens1131]

I want a performance of all the songs from the album omg

[@heeschbrooke]

The best vocals that can transcend genres 🩷❤️ I’m not the biggest country / folk fan but when Halsey does it I’m obsessed !

[@Mel-um7qd]

How is she still underrated? ARE PPL DEAF AND BLIND????

[@CidTheNadie]

No genuinely. She doesn’t get enough recognition in the industry. Manic and IICHLIWP deserved Grammy noms at the very least. The Great Impersonator is another beautifully written and produced album and I hope the public recognizes her talent this time.

I just love when the live version is better than the studio recording!!

[@d3lta97]

THE CONFIDENT QUEEN YOU ARE. The way Halsey performs is so satisfying to see and her voice so beautiful to hear❤ This album could be one of her saddests' but its energy is insane. She's truly a gem and one of the most interesting and complete artists out there!

[@christopherrobertfarfan1673]

I listened to this whole album on the way home from Los Angeles to Pomona where I live. I cried many times on that ride. What a masterpiece you’ve created Ashley… it’s deep. Conveys emotions on ever level. And you can tell u put everything you were feeling through ur hardship into this album. For sure one of the best albums of the year. Thank you

The story telling in this song is so good, it's so reminiscing and sad 😢

LYRICS: Davey died in the summertime in a hot-boxed car With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm We would smoke out in the parking lot behind convenience shops I bought a couple of grams of weed off him, but so did all the cops Back then The kids from all the county, we would walk out in the heat Along the train tracks with our paper bags and gravel in our feet In our heads, we picked a husband from the hundred men we knew But I kissed a poster of a pop star and checked my breasts in case they grew There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's waving from the field And he's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years You know, I never felt like anyone, I was a paradox, ol' lie I didn't think that I was special, but I was too afraid to die Like the others from my high school, all those sad suburban ghosts Trapped in a cross next to a highway while the rest of us get old There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's waving from the field And he's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years The American dream means staying young forever In a picture in a pamphlet, getting yellow from the weather And years will pass since science class, and I might forget your name But when the crow's feet come, to kingdom come, you'll always look the same There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown Somewhere in the clouds, Davey's running for a touchdown The crowd appears and his mother cheers, and he's waving from the field He's evergreen at seventeen for the last eleven years Listen to my song "Sunday Trance" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXXNhK14g5Vpbpo
