“Lonely Is the Muse” marks a significant artistic pivot for Halsey, released on August 15, 2024, as the second single from her upcoming fifth studio album.
This track dives deep into the realms of rock, specifically embracing hard-rock, dark rock, and alt-rock elements, showcasing a return to the gritty, industrial sound reminiscent of her album “If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power,” which was notably produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails.
