A year after the birth of their first child and the coinciding release of If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, Halsey takes the bodily terror and sublime beauty of their new phase of life to the stage. A genre-bending exploration of pregnancy and childbirth, the album plumbs the dichotomy of the Madonna and the Whore with darkly industrial tones. The accompanying film casts Halsey as a pregnant royal tearing through a medieval nightmare. This summer’s “Love and Power Tour” finds the ever-daring artist fighting nightly to reconcile a mother’s self-sacrifice with a creative soul’s ceaseless desire for freedom.
