Background
editAs opposed to all his previous works since 2014's Pop Star High, Haus Party Pt. 1 is not tied to any particular narrative or concept.. In reference to this, Hall said "I’m such a musical theater kid -- I think that's my safe haven -- and I feel really confident and comfortable kind of hiding behind costumes or storylines. I decided that this year I really wanted to put out music for the first time that was not directed towards any story or narrative, but just have songs that existed on their own."[1]
He says that the album is dedicated to LGBT culture, especially drag queens and pride. The name "Haus Party" comes from the houses of the gay ball culture.[1]
