The Great Impersonator is the fifth studio album by American singer Halsey, released on October 25, 2024, by Columbia Records, marking her first release with the label. Her first full-length release since If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power (2021), Halsey conceived it as a confessional concept album believing it would be her last project after being diagnosed with lupus and a T cell lymphoproliferative disorder. It contains reflections about Halsey's personal struggles with life and death. Musically, it encompasses pop, folk, and subgenres of rock, with references to music from previous decades.
Halsey wrote and co-produced The Great Impersonator with several collaborators, including Alex G, Michael Uzowuru, Greg Kurstin, Tyler Johnson, and Emile Haynie. The album was initially teased with the promotional single "The End". It was supported by the lead single "Lucky", which was followed by "Lonely Is the Muse", "Ego", and "I Never Loved You". As part of the album's promotion, the singer impersonated musicians and public figures that inspired the songs.
Receiving positive reviews from music critics, the album's raw nature and honesty as well its eclectic sound were praised. The Great Impersonator debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming Halsey's fifth consecutive record to chart within the top two. It has also reached the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Scotland, and the United Kingdom.
