Hailed as their best album yet by Vulture, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power also topped Billboard’s Alternative Albums, Vinyl Albums and Tastemaker Albums charts and claimed the #01 position on the Spotify Top 10 Global Album Debuts chart. Produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the album was awarded four stars by NME, which hailed it as “an intricate and an endlessly compelling artistic statement that only Halsey could have made.” SPIN said, “Halsey is not a woman, they’re a rock God.
