Halsey Reveals ‘The Great Impersonator’ Release Date After Fans Uncover Main Album Cover

Halsey has dropped the curtain on new album The Great Impersonator‘s release date and main album cover after sending fans on a scavenger hunt across the world.

The 29-year-old singer shared the details on X Wednesday (Sept. 4), revealing that the project — which marks her fifth studio LP — is set to arrive Oct. 25. “I made this record in the space between life and death,” Halsey wrote. “And it feels like I’ve waited an eternity for you to have it. I’ll wait a bit longer. I’ve waited a decade, already.”

The three-time Grammy nominee also shared the album’s main cover art, which features a black-and-white close-up of them with rosy cheeks and a star-shaped sticker boasting its title on their forehead. “Step right up, ladies and gentlemen,” the sticker’s fine print reads. “Behold the marvel of a century. Witness the uncanny ability of a woman who can become anyone, anything your heart desires.”

Halsey’s post comes in response to fans tracking down the mystery location of one of five time capsules hidden in cities all over the world based on clues posted by the “Closer” singer, the first of which they found at an International Magic store in London. Planted somewhere in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles and Sydney, the next four capsules will be themed around different decades and reveal variants of The Great Impersonator‘s cover.

“You must work together, as the next city’s clues will not be revealed until the previous city is found,” the About-Face Beauty founder cautioned when first announcing the scavenger hunt Tuesday (Sept. 3). “Don’t blink … or you’ll miss it.”

The Great Impersonator will mark Halsey’s first album since 2021’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. So far, they’ve released a few singles ahead of the new record: “The End,” “Lucky” and “Lonely Is the Muse.” On Friday (Sept. 6), a fourth single — titled “Ego” — is set to arrive.
