Musically, Manic is primarily an electropop, hip hop, and alternative rock record with influences of several other genres including, country, K-pop, pop, R&B, among others. Halsey described the album as changing its mind as much as she does.[4] To promote the album, Halsey embarked on her third concert tour, the Manic World Tour, following its release.[5]

Background and sound

On October 4, 2018, Halsey released the song "Without Me", which was the first solo material since her second studio album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (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] 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", with the actual day not shown, 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 describes 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]

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 a generally favourable reception based on 18 reviews.[24]

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".[33] 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".[28] 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."[32]

In June and July 2020, the album was included on Billboard, American Songwriter, and Uproxx's list of the best albums of 2020 so far.[35][36][37]
