Halsey: Approaching Nine Inch Nails to collaborate was “the scariest moment of my life”

Fresh from picking up a GRAMMY nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, Halsey has looked back on the creation of this year’s excellent If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power and how Nine Inch Nails got involved. The New Jersey star describes approaching Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to produce the record as ​“the scariest moment of my life” and like ​“writing a letter to Santa being like, ​‘I’ve been a very good girl’”. “I was just really honest and said I was a huge fan and I’ve been plagiarising you guys for years – badly – and I’m not arrogant enough to believe that I have anything new to offer you, but this album is about pregnancy, gender identity, body horror,” Halsey tells NME.
