Wow, for me this has to be Halsey’s strongest album to date. The amount of lyrical growth in their song writing and the themes of this album is incredibly deep and well structured. This album tackles the deepest fears of motherhood and reflects on Halsey’s flaws and tells a story. Whilst also highlighting things on what is viewed as the proper way to raise a child in today’s society. It has both a political message, but also feels deeply personal to Halsey at the same time.
I think their sound is also evolving excellently, still having that essence of Halsey with the alternative sound, but I also think this album brings more of a more of a mix of grounded production and more alternative rock which I loved. It gave the songs so much atmosphere and impact, and I hope going forward Halsey continues with this sound.
My Favourite songs ranked:
1. Girl is a gun
2. I am not a woman, I’m a God

6. Darling
7. Easier than lying
8. You asked for this

10. Bells in Santa Fe
11. 1121

Overall, If I can’t have love, I want Power is Halsey’s strongest album to date. Showing a growth in their sound, but also it is the most lyrically deep albums I have heard in a while. Really showing a lot of growth from Halsey. Delivering both a strong political message on motherhood, as well as feeling very personal to Halsey as an artist.
Overall score 9.5/10
