Hollywood bleeding Malone show still has a lot in the tank
Fresh out of 2018 Graphics table, overwhelming Beerbongs and BentleyPost Malone is back with his third studio album, Hollywood bleeding. A 51 -minute production featuring 17 husky tracks of voice and instrumentation defying genres, Hollywood bleeding is just the last entry of what has become an undoubted work for the 24 -year -old artist.
As he became customary with the patented attitude of Malone “Do’t Give A Rat’s Ass”, the album released at the strangest time possible – last night – with little or no warning. I would not have any other means.
With artists of big name ranging from the future to Ozzy Osbourne, Hollywood bleeding Passes enough star power to make sure it dominates personal graphics and listening devices in the predictable future. However, despite the attraction of today’s superstars who collaborate on the radio hymns of this fall, it is surprisingly the solo efforts of Malone which carry the most mileage. Without afraid of the rupture of the convention, Malone flirts with about each genre under the sun, and does it with confidence. There is something here for everyone: Candy Pop, Hip-Hop Bangers, Punk Rock, Classic Rock, Alternative Ballades … Same soul, to make a good measure. Combine this with the rich melodies of the album and the relatively meager execution time, and Hollywood bleeding is an ambitious effort that effortlessly presents the best of Malone’s talents.
It is Hollywood bleedingThe opening song opening the opening which may best summarize the album forces. At the beginning, the soft buzz and the soft guitar support of the track evoke something closer to 3 doors than traditional hip-hop; Malone begins to sing a dark pour on vampires, darkness and a broken relationship. Suddenly, the track changes: the double tempo, a broadband and Malone hat that of a few juicy sentences. The song becomes a pleasant mixture of trap and rock. Then, at the end of the track, Malone draws another audible: the song slows down, the upper hat is replaced by a large bass drum, and Malone finished the ballad with an outroid Rockin ‘Tonnerre.
Three distinct sentences, punk-alternative, hip-hop / rock, with complete rock. All in 2 minutes and 36 seconds.
You can pick up; The tracklist is full of these shorter explosive songs. From the 17 tracks, only one – “Die for me”, with Future and Halsey – ends up being more than 4 minutes, and it is not surprisingly the worst of the group. While Stoney And Beerbongs and Bentley Everyone has timed a little over an hour, Hollywood bleedingThe meager 51 minutes avoids a large part of the bloating which mired the previous albums of Malone. And although too short music certainly covers the risk of feeling underdeveloped (Lil Nas X and the end of XXXTentacion are two particularly salient examples), Hollywood bleeding Profile a cautious line between brevity and over-saturation, and comes out in mind.
Among the other out of competition, “circles”, a soft acoustic jam that recalls the heartbreaking “stay” of 2018; “I’m going to be”, a wellness track with smooth syncope and delicious harmonies; And “allergic”, a playful melody that rocks between a smooth melody and similar to boys and a heavier rock choir. Of course, there are also the success of proven Malone: ”Sunflower”, popularized in part thanks to the animated film Spiderman: in the spider; “WOW”, which released last year’s Christmas Eve; And the recent “goodbye”, featuring the young thug.
Rounding the album is a series of new features. Although they are not as impactful as some of the Malone solo efforts, most of them serve their objective of addictive compatible blows and adapted to the clubs. “On the Road” brings together Malone, Meek Mill and Lil Baby for a quick rhythm that borrows melodic patterns of the “Rockstar” previously shattered with a big effect. “Watching the sun”, which presents Sza, is a singing duo with warm harmonies and an edifying rhythm. “Enemies” is an equally playful song, fueled by an inflatable melody from Malone and an animated verse from rapper Dababy.
If there is a functionality that breaks the mold, it would be “to take what you want”. The song Enrône The help of Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott for a hell of a rock-a-thon, with words of bad mood, emotional voices and a solo of shredded guitar. If anything, the track will strengthen what we already know about Post Malone: that it cannot simply be locked in a category with regard to his music (or his dress, by the way).
It is ultimately the attraction of Hollywood bleeding. It is a vivid genres whirlwind that highlights both the talented vocal prowess of Malone and its ability to crush musical patterns that have nothing to do on the same album, not to mention the same song. He does not offer insightful words, and that does not merge to create a particularly captivating story when she listened from start to finish. It’s just fun for music.
For some, it might not cut it. For millions, however, it will certainly be.
Score: 8.7 / 10
