Review: "How Can You, How Can I" - Halon

Calling all my sad hotties! I have a song for you! “How Can You, How Can I” by Halon is an anthem that can easily be related to. If you’re like me and turn your sadness into your fuel, give this excellent song a listen! This is Halon’s second single released as a teaser for her upcoming album, set to launch in spring of 2026. Her vibe of Lana Del Rey mixed with FKA Twigs creates a beautiful medley between alt-pop and R&B. And boy, is this one just gorgeous!

The song starts off with very distant echos and ad-lib breaths, adding to the allure found throughout the song. There is a pulsing synth that carries us through her angelic voice, illuminating the song. There is a ton of reversed white noise that builds suspense for the chorus as well! The drums alter the song to make this sensual melody a head-bopping pop! I cannot get enough of her voice, as she is effortless and smooth throughout. Her vocal effects throughout this song make it even more steamy! It really gives Tate McRae vibes! All of these elements together make this song perfect!

Halon is singer/songwriter hailing from Stockholm, Sweden. Before she was an artist, she was a ballet dancer. She caught the attention of Lana Del Rey’s producer, Rick Nowels, with her stunning lyrics. After coming out with single after single in 2022, she became a hit, with millions of plays. After that, she worked towards dropping her debut album, Music To Get Rich To, in February of 2025 with none other than Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. From going to a dancer, model, founder of a duo group, to finding herself going solo, she has accomplished so much in such a short time span.
