Post Malone can really throw down with an acoustic guitar in hand! Everyone’s favorite musical chameleon left the crowd spellbound with an intimate acoustic set in Rome, Italy, in summer 2022, with the highlight being his gorgeous solo version of “Circles.” The studio version of the hit song has a full pop rock production, but it hits even harder when it’s just Post singing solo with his acoustic guitar.
Post released “Circles” back in 2019, but he’s constantly changing his style up, so it’s natural that in 2022 he gave the song a very different treatment. Fans were absolutely loving it, and the acoustic cut of “Circles” quickly blew up to 16 million views on YouTube. Post is one of our favorite modern artists here on The Music Man, and with performances like these, it’s no secret why!
The studio version of “Circles” begins with acoustic guitar. It gets drowned out later in the song, but it’s easy to see how Post could dial into that part to build a compelling acoustic arrangement. Fans gave big-time props to Post for the show below the video, adding comments such as “The emotion in his voice is crazy! He really sings with his soul” and “I appreciate that he’s a multi-faceted artist. Stuff like this is so cool for fans and honestly it’s great to see songs like this acoustic.”
Post played a nine-song setlist at his show at La Lanterna in Rome on June 24, 2022. He gave the special concert while promoting the release of his fourth studio album Twelve Carat Toothache, which he had dropped earlier that month. Post uploaded the entire concert on his YouTube channel, with another popular live cut being “Stay.”
Post dropped “Circles” on August 30, 2019, as the third single from his third studio album Hollywood’s Bleeding. It won’t surprise The Music Man readers to hear that “Circles” rapidly became the biggest hit from the album, going to number one in the US and picking up a Diamond certification. It was also notable as Post’s first solo number one hit in the US without a featured artist. “Circles” has continued to be popular with fans, and it is currently Post’s third most streamed song on Spotify with 2.6 billion streams. The title of the song refers to a failing relationship that’s stuck in a loop as the lovers ‘run in circles’, unable to resolve the situation or let go.
