Halsey has shared a release date for ‘So Good’, their new song that was reportedly delayed due to demands from their record label surrounding TikTok posts.Last week, Halsey shared a message claiming that their label are holding a new song hostage until they can “fake” a viral TikTok.Taking to their TikTok page, the singer – who released latest album ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ last year – said in a post titled “I’m tired” that there is new music she wants to release “ASAP,” but that “marketing” is getting in the way and the label won’t let her share the new song.Taking to Twitter yesterday (May 31), her label Capitol Records then responded, “committing” to a June 9 release date for ‘So Good’ and sharing a message of support for Halsey.“We love you and are here to support you,” the label wrote to Halsey, adding in an attached statement: “We are an artist first company that encourages open dialogue.“We have nothing but a desire to help each one of our artists succeed, and hope that we can continue to have these critical conversations.”– @halsey, we love you and are here to support you.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticHalsey’s next single has a release date — with or without a TikTok moment to fuel it. Capitol Records announced in a tweet Tuesday morning that “So Good” will come out June 9, with Halsey additionally declaring that the “fiasco” over its release is apparently over.Curiously, the release date was framed as an open letter to Halsey, suggesting that the two parties may still be doing a lot of their dialoguing via social media right now, although the promise of “open dialogue” may be as much for the fans and other artists who have rallied behind Halsey in the dispute as for the artist.“Halsey,” tweeted Capitol, tagging the singer, “we love you and are here to support you.

You’ll occasionally see tweets from artists half-jokingly saying they’re waiting to go viral on TikTok so they can live off their music.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe relationship between artist and label is often perceived as being between art and commerce, but it’s rarely that simple — and that ongoing push-pull has broken into the open with Halsey’s recent social media posts about her label apparently declining to release a new song until there was a viral TikTok “moment” to help promote it.No question: It’s crass when an artist’s creation is reduced to being marketed like a soft drink. On the other hand, the label’s job is to promote the music in the most effective and creative way they can — and in subsequent posts and replies, Halsey wrote, “I value the expertise and work of all the amazing people at my label.
