Review

Post Malone comes back with his third studio album “Hollywood’s Bleeding”. It was released on September 6, 2019, by Republic Records.

The album includes 17 songs, including 5 singles: “Wow”, “Goodbyes” “Circles”, “Enemies”, “Allergic”, and “Sunflower”.

The album also features guests DaBaby, Future, Halsey, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, Ozzy Osbourne, Travis Scott, SZA, Swae Lee, and Young Thug.

Hollywood Bleeding is a step up for Malone.  This album was well crafted and no song felt out of place. It a great album and really has the potential to elevate his music career even higher.

Malone’s use of rock, trap, hip-hop and pop elements really set the dark tone atmosphere on this album.

His second album “Beerbong & Bentley” was much more R&B and hip-hop.

This time, Malone is influenced more by rock and a darker pop.

“Take What You Want,” featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, has rock and rap elements. But also uses up-beat pop in “Sunflower”, with Swae Lee and “Staring at the Sun”, feat SZA.  The order of the songs really put a storyline for the album. From dark tones to upbeat rhythm, the lyricism express post’s move to LA, his now found wealth, and relationship problems people can relate too.
