Room 93
album by Halsey
Room 93 is the debut extended play (EP) by American singer and songwriter Halsey. It was released on October 27, 2014 by Astralwerks. The project was re-released digitally on March 9, 2015, including a new version of its main single "Ghost"; this new version was later also included on the singer's debut full-length studio album Badlands (2015). The sound of the EP is rooted on the electropop music genre.
A digital remix version of the EP, featuring three remixes for the songs "Hurricane", "Ghost" and "Trouble", was released on March 3, 2015. Along with the remix EP, a "One Mic, One Take" EP was released on the same date. The track "Trouble" was featured on the promo for the episode "Best Laid Plans" from the American TV series Once Upon a Time.
Critical reception
The EP received a generally positive response. AllMusic praised Halsey's Room 93 for its moody, atmospheric electronic pop sound, drawing favorable comparisons to Lana Del Rey and Lorde. The review highlighted the EP as a clear display of the style that earned her a deal with Astralwerks, noting tracks like "Ghost" and "Hurricane" as standout singles.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Room 93” as album by Halsey. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Halsey. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q21160142. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2015.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
