"New Americana" was the second single from Badlands, Halsey's 2015 debut, released that July on Astralwerks, though an earlier version had already been sitting on her SoundCloud as a free download since 2014. Lido produced it, with extra production from Kalkutta, Larzz Principato and Dylan William, and Dan Grech-Marguerat mixed.
It's sleek electronic pop with a generational thesis: a portrait of an America where things once filed under counterculture, legal weed and same-sex marriage among them, have drifted into the mainstream. Halsey co-wrote it with Principato, and a five-voice choir backs her up.
