Post Malone

Surprised there was no thread about my close friend, the recording artist Post Malone.

I dislike the moroseness of so much contemporary hip hop, and this guy is part of that, but he’s got a gift for hooks.

Any relation to Karl?

Being quite disconnected from the pop world I had never really heard about him, except "Sunflower" which I found great, but his latest album is surprisingly good.
Very catchy songs, nice production.
It's been a while since I4ve enjoyed a pop male singer.

i think people just look at the combination of his skin tone and commercial success and decide "wow pop hooks & melodies!!" even tho his many of his 'pop hooks' are stagnant crap like the chorus to "better now"

(i do like "sunflower" tho)

"Sunflower" is great

Of course a lot of it is stagnant crap, he’s post malone.

But sometimes he does find a hook and that’s the best thing he does.

Haven't spent much time with the new one, but I love Psycho and Rich & Sad from the last one. The repetitive hooks generally don't bother me because I think he uses pretty chords and makes good production choices, but Better Now is definitely "stagnant crap" xp.

Somehow « Circles » makes me think of a Future Islands track. It’s a pretty track.

he always finds a hook, his problem is that he always just incessantly repeats that one hook over and over again. variation isn't a word in his vocabulary.

sunflower is good, but it feels like he got of his melodic inspiration from swae lee.

I hated "Rockstar" but those covers are remarkably faithful and he started with my favourite album track.

always happy to hear circles on the radio

I have finally started to accept the fact that I do actually kinda look like this guy

you look more like Pre Malone

lol

That is indeed very funny but I’ve probably heard that joke like two dozen times now

is anyone else fucking with his new music? i feel like we talked about this somewhere but maybe i’m making that up. anyway “mourning” is incredible, even better than “chemical” which i also loved. he’s apparently making a “rock” album & based on those two songs i’m saying something i never thought i would, which is that i’m really looking forward to a post malone album

This dork is popping up on more songs than Phoebe Bridgers.

He’s becoming as culturally ubiquitous as the Rock. I saw him in a commercial and in the new Jack Black Xmas movie

he's also in one of those FanDuel type commercials
