Post Malone

Post Malone's music is usually faster than the song I have chosen, but it still falls into the pop genre. Unlike most of his other songs this one is acoustic, but it still fits into the pop genre because of the chorus he uses. Malone currently has five albums out that all explore different styles, this song comes from this third album called Beerbongs & Bentleys. Although he explores different styles throughout his music it is all usually similar and falls into the pop genre.

Stay

This song shows Malone's raw emotions as he realizes that his relationship is on a downward spiral. The song has a heavy guitar presence as the beat and this is unlike what he usually has in his other songs. By changing the way this song was created helps show his versatility in what kind of music that he produces and shows that It doesn't always have to be heavy pop. The main takeaway from this song is what the use of drugs and alcohol can do to a relationship and how much of a negative impact they create. "You know that I'm too drunk to talk right now " shows a way that alcohol disrupts how people think and act which can lead to saying or doing something you didn't mean to. It's clear that this is painful and unwanted which causes Malone to sing this song with all his emotion showing which also shows a different side to his music. Malone has been through a lot and the use of drugs and alcohol sadly have caused many of those problems to arise or have escalated these situations much faster than they should have gone. Currently the use of drugs is very high in America along with other countries and hopefully these songs will help some realize that the use of these really only have negative impacts.
