AceShowbiz - Post Malone, the American rapper and singer renowned for his genre-blending talents, is making headlines with his highly-anticipated sixth studio album, "F-1 Trillion", set for release on August 16. The announcement was made via a strategically placed billboard in Nashville and confirmed on Post Malone's Instagram.
The Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, known for hits like "White Iverson" and "Rockstar", is flipping the script this time around with an album presumed to be heavily country-leaning. This shift comes as no surprise to fans who've followed the artist's gradual immersion into the country music scene. Recently, Posty collaborated with country heavies Morgan Wallen on the chart-dominating single "I Had Some Help", and with Blake Shelton on the upcoming track "Pour Me a Drink".
Post Malone's country influence has been growing for years, with notable performances including a set of country classics at the prestigious Stagecoach Festival, and a guest appearance at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville where he performed alongside country stars Lainey Wilson, Ernest and Ashley Gorley. Additionally, his rendition of George Jones' "If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will)" with Ernest left fans craving more.
Earlier this year, Malone paid homage to country legends by covering songs from Hank Williams, Brad Paisley and Vince Gill. He's also taken the stage at major country events like the Academy of Country Music Awards and CMA Fest, solidifying his growing presence in the genre.
While the official track list for "F-1 Trillion" hasn't been released, it's expected to feature tracks such as "She Ain't Yours", "Never Love You Again" and "Drinkin' 'Bout You". Notably, the rumored collaborations on the album include country stalwarts Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen.
This genre shift was hinted at in a 2022 interview with Howard Stern, where Malone expressed his curiosity and passion for recording a country album. It seems he's finally making that a reality, blending the rugged authenticity of country with his own unique style.
Post Malone’s journey from hip-hop innovator to country music maven marks a significant evolution in his career, offering fans a new and exciting chapter in his musical repertoire. As fans eagerly await the drop of "F-1 Trillion", it's clear that Malone is poised to make a major impact on the country music genre.
