π΅ Halsey’s Musical Chairs: Jumps from Capitol Music Group to Columbia Records π
TL;DR;
Pop icon Halsey has been playing musical chairs with record labels, landing their next seat with Columbia Records, confirmed by Variety. This comes two months post Halsey’s split from Capitol Music Group, their previous label. Here’s the kicker – this isn’t a new partnership. Columbia was the label that backed one of Halsey’s massive hits, “Closer”, featuring Chainsmokers, that dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 whole weeks in 2016. You remember that one, right? Well, now they’re back together again. ππΊ
So, imagine this. π€ You’re Halsey. You’re one of the most recognized faces and voices in the music industry. You’ve just cut ties with Capitol Music Group, the label you’ve been working with for the longest time. What’s your next move?
If you guessed that you’d go back to one of your old partners, you’re right! π Halsey, known for using she/they pronouns, has inked a fresh deal with Columbia Records, getting back with the folks who helped bring us one of the most played earworms of 2016 – “Closer”. But hey, is this a strategic rekindling or just a walk down memory lane? π§
Halsey’s relationship with the music labels has always been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. π’ Remember that time they had a disagreement with Capitol Music Group and instead of resolving it in some boring boardroom meeting, Halsey straight-up asked their fans on Twitter if they wanted an album? The response was predictably rapturous. That’s some next-level social media savvy, right? π
But things didn’t always stay hunky-dory with Capitol. When the label demanded more TikTok content, Halsey and their team were quietly planning their exit strategy. But hey, who doesn’t love a little behind-the-scenes drama? πΏ
Now, the big question is, how will this partnership with Columbia Records pan out? Will it be a harmonious reunion that spawns chart-topping hits, or will we see another Twitter poll in the future? π
And with this new alliance, we can’t help but ask: will this mark a new era of independence for Halsey, or will we see more clashes between the artist and the bigwigs in the music industry? π€ Who knows, Halsey might just give us another earworm that we didn’t even know we needed, or maybe they’ll blaze a trail for artists demanding more control over their music and image.
What do you think? Is this switch to Columbia Records the right move for Halsey, or are we just setting the stage for another clash of musical titans? Let us know what you think! π€π₯
