Blog Post (Malone)

With Post Malone dropping his latest Album “Hollywood’s Bleeding” I wanted this post to look at some of the songs I see as noteworthy on this album. Overall the album is best listened to when listening to it from the first track to the last while skipping none of the songs. The album has a tone to it where each song ties to the next. The album is his third studio album and Spotify states that he is the fifth most listened to artist in the world at this moment. The first song that shows importance is “Hollywood’s Bleeding” the song portrays all the life being sucked out of the area of Hollywood. The song has an array of vocals, a strong sense of rhythm and stimulates the listener to hear the song as a cry to wake up. This song is the first on the album and sets the stage for the rest of the album. The songs to follow use a similar approach to the melody, and tempo. This song is the pacesetter. “Enemies” is another noteworthy track on this album due to the lyrics “Friends are like the autumn, every year they leavin” this song is for all the people that stopped supporting the artist in his journey to achieve his dreams. Now with Post Malone achieving this status now, he must see his friends left, attempting to come back like nothing happened. Relating this into our world we have seen plenty of our friends disappear from our lives when we are not doing well but tend to gravitate back to when we have our up points in life. The third track that led to listeners to take to twitter is “Take What You Want.” Fans took to Twitter because Ozzy Osbourne from Black Sabbath is on this track with Post Malone and Travis Scott. Now some fans do not know who Ozzy is and are unaware of his own career with Black Sabbath and the success of “Iron Man” to his release of “Crazy Train.” Twitter posts can be found of fans believing that Post Malone discovered Ozzy and are praising him for “shining a light” to “up and coming artist.” This obviously is not the case. Overall this album is a solid album. The rhythm is consistent, the melody is different for each song, creating a different listening experience for each listener. Being his third album the fans should expect more music from Post Malone in the future. My prediction is new music from him in a year and a half.
