The singer is perfectly capable of matching the producers’ tuneful darkness. Nails’ tart, synthetic grooves provide the perfect base for Halsey’s tense, personal writing and cathartic vocals. Halsey’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power goes a step further, tracking down Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails to produce and securing appearances from Dave Grohl, TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek, former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, and others to help the New Jersey singer with the goth-rock rebirth this album attempts. Pop stars disappeared into their record collections this year: Lorde paid respect to Natasha Bedingfield on Solar Power, Olivia Rodrigo served grunge-pop and pop-punk on SOUR, and Billie Eilish delivered a brand of moody singer-songwriter record more akin to 1996 than 2021 with Happier Than Ever.
