Background and sound

On October 4, 2018, Halsey released the song "Without Me", her first solo material since her second studio album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, released in 2017. [6] Originally, the song was intended as a standalone track, [7] but was later included on the record, becoming the actual lead single. In March 2019, Halsey announced that her third studio album would be released in 2020 and that she wanted it to be "perfect". [8] The standalone single, "Nightmare", released on May 17, 2019, was originally intended to be the lead single from the album, [9] [10] [11] but was cut; it later appeared on extended editions of her subsequent album, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power . A scene in the music video for "Nightmare" showed Halsey holding a newspaper reading "MANIC" and another scene where she holds a sign reading "H3 / AI / 10--2019", which some speculated as a hint that the album would be released in October 2019. [12] However, it was released on January 17, 2020.

During a question-and-answer session on August 7, 2019, she stated that the album is "less dystopian fantasy world" and that it reflects her current worldview. [13] In her Rolling Stone cover story, Halsey stated that Manic is a sampling of "hip-hop, rock, country, fucking everything—because it's so manic. It's soooooo manic. It's literally just, like, whatever the fuck I felt like making; there was no reason I couldn't make it". [14]

She revealed the album title on her social media on September 12, 2019, along with an official link to a website with the album title. [15] The website contained a livestream of the singer painting the album cover. [16] The album has 16 tracks on the standard edition. [17]

She revealed the tracklist on December 3, 2019, and went live on Instagram shortly after to discuss the album and answer fan questions. During the live, she stated that the album is very personal in which saying, "I feel like you guys have really given me the chance this year to express myself more and be myself in a way that I don't know if I’ve really felt like I have been able to since my first album". She also stated that fans would get to meet a part of her that she's been really excited to show. When asked what her favorite song is, she said that the most personal one is "More", and not being able to pick just one, she listed some of her favorites which include, "I Hate Everybody", "929", "Killing Boys", and "Dominic's Interlude". The album was revealed to have three features including Dominic Fike, Alanis Morissette, and Suga of BTS. Halsey described them as "People who really represent different parts of my psyche and different parts of my personality in so many different ways".

Manic is a "busy album" [18] and a "raw and honest look into Halsey's head and heart", [19] on which she explores many genres, including "electro-pop, sparkly ballads, hip-hop, twang, and '90s alt rock" [20] and "everything from Lilith Fair folk guitar to South Korean rap". [21] Lyrically, it deals with the singer's struggles with bipolar disorder (previously known as manic depression). [22]

On September 29, 2020, the Expanded Edition of Manic was released in honor of Halsey's birthday. The expanded version features the 16 songs on the original version as well as the deluxe limited edition songs "Wipe Your Tears" and "I'm Not Mad", Halsey's "Be Kind" collaboration with Marshmello, the Juice Wrld and Illenium remixes of "Without Me", the acoustic versions of "Graveyard" and "You Should Be Sad", and stripped versions of "Alanis' Interlude", "Without Me", "Graveyard", and "3AM".

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 80 out of 100, which indicates "generally favorable reviews" based on 18 reviews. [47]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said that the album "showcases Halsey at her nerviest and at her best." [48] Ilana Kaplan from the Entertainment Weekly praised the album calling it "a chaotic amalgamation of self-analysis, rage, depression, ecstasy, and growth" that sees its creator "managing the messiness of fame while trying to stay true to herself." [49] In a positive review from Exclaim! , Chantel Ouellet wrote that Manic is her most personal album to date. [50] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone gave the album a positive review and named Manic an "excellent new album", praising its versatility of genres and "Halsey's raw autobiographical portrait of [herself] as a young mess, craving her share of love and tenderness in a hostile world". [56] In a four-star review for The Guardian , Ben Beaumont-Thomas praised Halsey's lyrical evolution, citing that "her lyrical confidence is matched by the characterful production, which straddles R&B, country, trashy pop-rock, Kacey Musgraves-ish cosmic Americana and more". [51]

In a positive review for PopMatters , Jeffrey Davies referred to the album as a "refreshingly intimate portrait of a young woman navigating fame, femininity, and mental illness" and wrote: "From an artist whose style and image or lack thereof has tended to take precedence over her music and her psyche, Manic is an honest invitation into the worlds of both Halsey and Ashley Frangipane, and teaches us that the truth is in the ambiguity." [55] Steven Loftin from The Line of Best Fit stated that Manic "revels in the explorative genre-pop bombast, letting the delicates twinkle, and the snarls bare their teeth; yet it's the soul that shines dominantly." [52] He also named it her most complete work to date. [52]

In June and July 2020, the album was included on Billboard, [58] American Songwriter, [59] and Uproxx's lists of the best albums of 2020 so far. [60]

Commercial performance

Manic debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 239,000 album-equivalent units, of which 180,000 were pure album sales.
