You want it, you got it, supply for the party
Bitch, I’ll be your preacher, I get this shit started!

Room 93 is Halsey’s debut EP, released October 27th, 2014. She goes deep behind the importance of the EP in an interview with All Things Go Music. For a year Halsey was in and out of hotel room and relationships: friendships, romance-wise, and business-wise.

The EP is a narrative about how in a hotel room, because of the forced intimacy, you can either really be yourself for a bit or you can really be someone you’re not. So it’s about human relationships under the scope of that lab rat mentality, or security cam mentality. There are also a few undertones and subplots. One of them is crossing gender barriers, because I talk about drugs and sex and things male artists can sing about and they’re edgy and romantic and emotional, but as soon as a female artists talks about it, it’s like “Shut up, that’s unladylike. We don’t want to hear that.” But I don’t care. That’s what my life is like and that’s what I’ve experienced and that’s what I want to talk about.
