Eight Gigs: Halsey

Singer-songwriter Halsey is half-black, bisexual and bipolar. And her government-issued last name is Frangipane, as in the delicious almond pastry cream. In other words, she’s more than immediately meets the eye: a hit-making pop star with legit artistic vision, partly informed by her bohemian past. Her portfolio also goes far beyond her blowout radio success “New Americana” and guest vocals on the Chainsmokers’ “Closer,” and her live performances are reportedly fabulous.
