AceShowbiz - Halsey is ready to release her sophomore album. The 22-year-old singer announced on Tuesday afternoon, March 7 that the album would hit the shelves in June and would be titled "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom".

Halsey shared the exciting news on Twitter, writing, "I'm pleased to announce my upcoming album, this June, is titled: 'hopeless fountain kingdom'," along with a sultry topless photo of herself. The photo sees the singer standing sideways against a cloudy, dark background. She looks down over her shoulder while holding a rose to her face.

When asked by a fan if the photo would be for the cover art of her new record, she responded, "Nope! When I'm ready for you to have the album cover, I'm gonna make you find it." The new record serves as the follow-up to Halsey's debut album "Badlands", which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard 200 chart and was certified platinum.
