MUSIC |With bright-blue hair, you can't miss her. New Jersey native Ashley Frangipane (better recognized by her stage name, Halsey) has released her debut album BADLANDS. Harnessing elements from the indie, synth, and electro-pop genres, this album creates a unique and upbeat classification of its own. With hauntingly eerie allusions to her mental state, the metaphorical dystopia of the "badlands" becomes her personal escape. Quickly rising up the charts, Badlands is proving to be one of the year's most popular albums.
