Halsey has finally received a release date for their new single after they called out their record label on social media. On 22 May, Halsey shocked their fans when they revealed that Capitol Records was stalling the release of their upcoming single, So Good. “Basically I have a song that I love and I wanna release ASAP but my record label won’t let me,” they explained via a TikTok video. “I’ve been in this industry for eight years and I’ve sold over 165 million records and my record company is saying I can’t release [the song] unless they can fake a viral moment on TikTok. “Everything is marketing.
And they are doing this to every artist these days. I just want to release music, man I deserve better [to be honest]. I’m tired.” Shortly after uploading the video, fans swarmed their comment section with words of support.
One user wrote: “That’s so unfair. You work hard, all of you artists do. I hope we can listen soon.” Another fan commented: “Saw you in Tampa a few days ago and it was an amazing time!!!
I hope your record label comes around.” After a week of pushback from fans and the Bad At Love singer, Capitol Records finally announced that the aforementioned song would be released sooner rather than later. “[Halsey], we love you and are here to support you.
