Post Malone’s new album ranges from singing about a failing relationship to rapping about how much money he has made as an artist. Titled, Hollywood’s Bleeding, the collection of songs remind Post Malone fans of why they started listening to him in the first place.

The first song, “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” is a perfect intro to the album’s melancholy tone. This title track explains the meaning behind the title: it posits that Hollywood is dying because of people Malone sees as vampires. Malone said in an interview with Spotify, “You gotta get out and take a step back and look at the whole situation and you realize that Hollywood itself is kind of dying.”

The fourth song “Allergic” starts out with a rock n’ roll vibe that soon turns lyrical and melodic as he explains how he fell back onto drugs as a way of dealing with a difficult breakup that left Malone an emotional wreck unable to comprehend his emotions. He doesn’t hide anything in this song. showing fans all sides of who he is and, in true Post Malone fashion, offers complete transparency about what kind of person is.

“Circles,” the sixth song on the album is also one of the most popular tracks. The lyrics show just how to open Malone is in his writing as he explains the difficulties of being in a relationship that is following a pattern with no change as it repeats. Malone is upset as he realizes this and questions what to do. The song has a vibe to it that is enjoyable for many situations; it has an uplifting beat, yet the lyrics lend a harder-hitting truth to the song.

Although it dropped last spring as a single, “Sunflower” from the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse remains a high-energy, a popular song. Post Malone with Swae Lee adds a pop style to this album with this hopeful and still confident piece of relaxing music.
