　　也许最初是Post Malone和Justin Bieber合作的那首《Deja Vu》让你记住了他的名字，也许是两年前他那张惊艳的处女专辑《Stoney》让你开始关注这个有才的音乐人。

　　真名Austin Richard Post的Post Malone出生在得克萨斯，他的爸爸年轻时候是一个DJ，所以从小Austin就在父亲的影响下接触了很多不同种类的音乐。

　　有趣的是，对音乐一直很有兴趣的他其实是因为《吉他英雄》这款游戏而疯狂爱上音乐，对吉他的热爱让他开始创作自己的音乐。因为苦苦想不出艺名，有一天他上了一个艺名生成网站，在输入了自己的真名以后系统自动生成的艺名就是Post Malone，他就一直沿用了这个名字。

　　《纽约时报》称马龙为“在唱歌与说唱，嘻哈与能令人酥骨的电音民谣之间流淌的艺术家”。Post Malone也曾说过不希望被称作“说唱歌手”，他只想做一个“做音乐的人”。他希望可以打破音乐种类的边界，不把自己的作品局限在一种风格中，所以他的音乐融合了各个音乐种类，多变而富有魅力。

　　他确实名副其实，除了这首Better Now，他和Ty Dolla $ign（蒂多拉）联手推出的Psycho也高踞美国Billboard单曲榜亚军。

Better Now是特别具有情绪张力的一首情歌，一开口就有着直抒胸臆的强劲和爽快，声音轻微的嘶哑更加增进了那种真切和率真。

Used to keep my picture posted by your bedside/Now it's in your dresser with the socks you don't like, 曾经我的照片在你床边，现在它在你衣柜不讨好的袜子堆里，这就是被踹的凄凉。I just wonder what its gonna take/Another foreign or a bigger chain,我一直在想怎样才能够好一点，是不是得再买个名牌买个大金链子压压惊，这就是失恋之后想要找补的那种强行装B。原来大金链子还有这个功能！

　　这一单与众多有关失恋的歌曲不同，虽然曲间依然可听出伤心与不甘，但词里却将这种心情引向积极的层次。

　　“Better Now”，无论过去如何，现在开始要变得更好，这才最重要（高考作文的感觉？）
