Hollywood’s Bleeding is one of the most anticipated albums in 2019, and it has lived up to its hype. The album was released on September 6, 2019, by Republic Records and features a blend of different genres such as hip-hop, rock, pop and even country music. Post Malone’s third studio album has received critical acclaim for its versatility.
The 17-track album features collaborations with several big names in the music industry such as Travis Scott, Ozzy Osbourne, Young Thug, Future among others. Each collaboration adds a unique touch of diversity to the already genre-blending album.
Hollywood’s Bleeding opens with “Saint-Tropez,” an upbeat track that sets the tone for what is to come. It is followed by tracks like “Enemies,” featuring DaBaby which takes a more rap approach and “Allergic” which leans towards rock music. The fourth track on the album titled “A Thousand Bad Times” showcases Post Malone’s vocal range over guitar strings.
The fifth track on the album ‘Circles’ stands out from all other tracks as it brings out Post Malone’s true talent in songwriting and singing (without auto-tune). Circles tells a story of heartbreak but gives off positive vibes with its catchy chorus making it one of the most popular songs off this project.
Towards the end of Hollywood’s Bleeding we are treated to ‘Take What You Want,’ featuring Ozzy Osbourne & Travis Scott; this is one collaboration that took everyone by surprise when they saw it listed on the tracklist pre-release but worked well together showcasing their talents individually while blending them together seamlessly.
In conclusion, Hollywood’s bleeding marks an evolution in Post Malone’s artistry since his debut studio album Stoney back in 2016. He pushes boundaries beyond just his usual trap-pop sound to deliver an eclectic mix that appeals to different audiences across various musical spectrums. It’s a testament to the artist’s growth and willingness to explore. Hollywood’s Bleeding is definitely worth listening to from start to finish.
