Halsey celebrates birthday with new album track

Song is from upcoming Manic album set for release in Jan 2020

Halsey is celebrating her birthday by sharing a new song, “Clementine,” and the accompanying music video. The track is from her new album, Manic, which will be released on January 17, 2020 on Capitol Records. Halsey wrote “Clementine” with John Cunningham, who also produced the track.

The official video features Halsey and her brother, Sevian Frangipane, in an evocative dance routine that was shot at an aquarium. The clip was directed by Dani Vitale, who also choreographed, and Anton Tammi.

Halsey, who performed on the EMMY Awards telecast last weekend, will kick off the first leg of the (Manic) World Tour on February 6, 2020 at Madrid’s WiZink Center. The headline run includes a March 8th show at The O2 in London. North American tour dates will be announced shortly.

Her new single, “Graveyard,” amassed more than 50 million combined global streams in its first two weeks of release. The song was No. 1 Most Added at Top 40 radio and topped Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits playlist. The accompanying visualizer is a time-lapse of Halsey creating the painting that will appear on the album’s cover. Stereogum praised “Graveyard” as a “strong pop song about depression and co-dependence” and noted, “Halsey… can sing about stark internal stuff and still make the songs sound like they belong in an arena.”

Fans who pre-order Manic in digital format will instantly receive “Clementine” plus “Graveyard” and her 5x Platinum hit “Without Me.” Exclusive album/merchandise bundles are now available at Halsey’s online store.

The success of “Without Me” has made Halsey the first and only female artist to have at least three songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for 50 weeks each. Rounding out the trio of songs are the 2x Platinum “Eastside,” her collaboration with Benny Blanco and Khalid, and The Chainsmokers’ 10x Platinum “Closer,” which she featured on. “Without Me” spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in early 2019, marking her first solo single to reach the top spot. It now ranks as the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit by a female artist of this century. She is the first artist to rank at No. 1 and 2 simultaneously on Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Songs radio airplay chart. In March 2019, Halsey became the first artist in history to replace herself at No. 1 twice on the U.S. Pop Songs Airplay chart when “Without Me” returned to No. 1, bumping “Eastside” from the top spot. “Without Me” is the most-played song of 2019 at U.S. radio.
