Post Malone wows Houston crowd with nonstop hits

It's hard to truly quantify Post Malone's amazing success. If we were talking about numbers, he got 10 singles and 10, and became a fixture of the forties radio. Three of them went up to first place. And he was not even 25 years old.

But more than that. Dallas native music can appeal to everyone from football moms to toddlers. Because in the rap, it blurs the genre lines of rock, pop, folk, country, and sometimes within a song.

Is this how most of us listen to music? If you look at the playlist of another person, you will not find only one style or sound.

Malone's success also confused him. But at the Toyota Center on Tuesday night, love is lively and noisy. It was also one of the most diverse crowds in recent memory.

He appeared in light, smoke and shadows on the theme of "Hollywood Bleeding." The stage was a relatively simple setting. There are no bands, backup singers or dancers. Small runway and dramatic lighting. Concentrated on strength for 90 minutes.

Malone himself is a serious and emotional being. He is almost ashamed of singing and looks down when speaking often.

“My name is Austin Richard Post,” he told the crowd. "And I came here to play eerie songs and get f **** d."

His music is associated with heartbreaking loneliness. His songs “Better Now”, “Goodbyes” and “Die for Me” can be powerful ballads for anyone, from Bruno Mars to Celine Dion.

"Saint Tropez" had a pleasant rest. “Allergy was a very strange mashup of 50s pop, electronics and 80s nostalgia. “Take What You Want,” featuring Ozzy Osbourne in the chorus through the video, was noticeable.

Almost every moment of the show sang a dance party, singalong. "Candy Paint", "Psycho", "Enemies", "Wow", "I Fall Apart", etc. have gained popularity.

He knocked out the guitar in "Stay" and thanked the crowd for the single single "White Iverson" and joined "Sunflower" with the opening Swae Lee. Malone would have repeated the entire set with the same passion.

This half of the well-known brother Duo Rae Sremmurd did a good job of raising the crowd in a 40-minute performance. He had endless energy and often started himself into the crowd. He listened to them by frequently working "Htown" on his songs.

Sremmurd songs "No Type" and "Black Beatles" enthusiastic response. And he did some monotonous work with the liquidity grooves of "Guatemala" and "Not too late."
