"Badlands" is the debut full length studio album and a concept album by American singer-songwriter Halsey, released on August 28, 2015 through Astralwerks Records. The name "Badlands" is a reference to Halsey's state of mind while writing the album, to give a physical place as a metaphor for a desolate and lonely mind. A Deluxe Version of the album features a re-arranged track list and five extra tracks.
