Halsey Says Pregnancy Has ‘Leveled’ Her Perception of Gender
Fellow pop star and new mom Katy Perry emphasized the need for rest in her reassuring comment underneath Halsey’s post: “You’re about to perform a real miracle, get that rest and just be! I love you!” Model Emily Ratajkowski, who’s also expecting her first child, reiterated the “sleep” part with a string of heart emojis.

A handful of genres yielding similar effects include dubstep, 70s rock, jazz, and the blues. On the flip ...
