claimed that the label was essentially blocking her from releasing a new single for marketing reasons.
“Basically, I have a song that I love that I want to release ASAP, but my record label won’t let me,” read the text of the TikTok that originally stirred the debate. “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.
A rep for the singer’s longtime label, Astralwerks-Capitol, responded on Monday morning, saying in a statement to: “Our belief in Halsey as a singular and important artist is total and unwavering. We can’t wait for the world to hear their brilliant new music.” The reaction to the TikToks has been split, with many sharing their support for the artist while others questioned what might be organic and what might be fabricated about the situation — either way, the singer did create a TikTok viral moment, if not the one the label might have had in mind.“They said ‘wow the tiktok is going really strong!’ I was like ok cool so can I release my song now? They said ‘we’ll see!’ tell me again how I’m making this up.
