Halsey Channels Bruce Springsteen in New Album Promo

Halsey is a Jersey girl at heart!

As the star gears up to release their album, The Great Impersonator, later this month, she took to Instagram to reveal that leading up to the drop, she’ll be “impersonating a different icon every day and teasing a snippet of the song they inspired.”

The latest superstar they took inspiration from is The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen. In the photo set, Halsey rocks a short, jet-black hairdo, sideburns and a pair of blue jeans as she flawlessly captures a photo from Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” photo shoot, in which he’s seen jumping in the air before strumming his brown electric guitar.

Per Halsey, Springsteen inspired the eighth track on The Great Impersonator, titled “Letter to God (1983),” writing, “This one requires no explanation, I’m a Jersey girl :)” Halsey grew up in Edison, New Jersey, while Springsteen hails from Freehold.

The Springsteen impersonation follows a series of other icons Halsey has channeled this month on social media, including Stevie Nicks, Dolores O’Riordan, Amy Lee, David Bowie, Cher, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey and Dolly Parton.

Arriving Oct. 25, The Great Impersonator will mark Halsey’s fifth studio album. It follows 2021’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album also features previously released singles “The End,” “Lucky” and “Lonely Is the Muse.” 

Halsey previously confirmed that the album will traverse different decades and musical styles, with the “Closer” singer revealing multiple variants of The Great Impersonator‘s cover inspired by different time periods through a fan scavenger hunt earlier this month.
