Halsey - People Disappear Here Video

  • 10 January 2022

To coincide with the release of the deluxe extended edition of their album, 'If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power', Halsey has dropped a lyric video for one of the extra tracks on it - 'People Disappear Here'. Halsey's original album, released to critical acclaim in late August last year, contained 13 tracks. The new edition of their fourth album, released on January 3rd, contains 16 tracks. As well as 'People Disappear Here', Halsey has also added, 'Nightmare' and 'Nightmare Reprise' to the track listing.

"Named one of the best albums of the year" by Rolling Stone Magazine, Variety, Billboard, Spin, Fader, Vulture, Pitchfork and The New York Times, among others, 'If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power' has also been put forward for Grammy consideration in 'Best Alternative Music Album' category at the 64th Grammy Awards.

The Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross produced album went to number two on the Billboard 200 and topped out the US Top Alternative chart. It also gave Halsey a top five album in the UK, New Zealand, Germany, Canada, Australia and Belgium.

Writing credits on the new track - 'People Disappear Here', include eight time Grammy Award winner, record producer and multi-instrumentalist Gregory Allen Kurstin; also credited with co-writing 'The Tradition', Reznor and Ross from Nine Inch Nails and Halsey.

The brooding new song has a darker under current than some of Halsey's previous work but her understated vocal suits the slightly sinister tone as they sing, "Way down the dark alleyway, In somewhere in the garden state, The girl from California waits, She has my name but not my face, And I, Tried to let, her be someone, Hoping when the morning comes, She’s not another hit and run, But everybody knows...That people disappear here".

The 64th Grammy Awards are currently postponed due to a CoVID spike. When they do take place Halsey will be up against St. Vincent, Japanese Breakfast, Arlo Parks and Fleet Foxes for the 'Best Alternative Music Album'. Good luck Halsey.
