Halsey is woman and she wants you to hear her ROAR!
On Wednesday, July 7, she released the cover art for her new album, “If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power,” and it is drop dead GORGEOUS.
This marks the “Bad At Love” singer’s fourth studio album, and she announced it will be released on August 27.
Halsey looks like absolute royalty on the album cover. She is sitting upon a massive golden throne while wearing a grayish-blue floor-length gown with a baby on her hip.
Many fans were SHOOK when they noticed that the top of her dress wasn’t quite all the way done up with Halsey’s breast fully exposed.
It appears she went for an au-natural hair and makeup look, making the album art even more ethereal.

The soon-to-be mom explained the concept of her album in the caption of the photo.
“This album is a concept album about the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth. It was very important to me that the cover art conveyed the sentiment of my journey over the past few months,” Halsey wrote.
The singer announced she was expecting her first child with boyfriend, Alev Aydin, on January 27, with a simple yet beautiful photoshoot. She wore a crocheted rainbow bralette and baggy pants with her stomach on full display.
The rainbow is a nod to the baby she lost from a miscarriage about five years ago. A baby born after a pregnancy loss is commonly referred to as a rainbow baby.

Back to the jaw-dropping album cover!
Halsey continued to explain the meaning of this particular album writing, “The dichotomy of the Madonna and the Whore. The idea that me as a sexual being and my body as a vessel and gift to my child are two concepts that can co-exist peacefully and powerfully. My body has belonged to the world in many different ways the past few years, and this image is my means of reclaiming my autonomy and establishing my pride and strength as a life force for my human being.”
She further explained the cover image celebrates pregnant and postpartum bodies as something beautiful, to be admired.
“We have a long way to go with eradicating the social stigma around bodies & breastfeeding. I hope this can be a step in the right direction!,” wrote the “Without You” crooner.
