I started listening to Post Malone about 5 months ago sporadically and loose songs, it was not until a couple of months ago that I talked with people who recommended me to listen to the rest of his discography, which I hadn’t yet heard in depth. After that I started to listen to all his repertoire in repeat until I got to learn most of the songs by heart.
Personally I think he is an artist that is not defined by a specific genre and that is what I like the most about him, since not all the songs sound the same as it happens with some artists of which I end up getting tired of, thanks to this his songs get from making me reflect on life to make me jump or just forget my problems and concerns and I think this is a very positive quality in any band or singer.
