Post Malone officially enters his country era, as his debut country album, F-1 Trillion has released.
Nearly a decade ago, the Texan was already predicting his country music journey, in a tweet that declared, “When I turn 30 I’m becoming a country/folk singer.” Now 29, Post Malone is already well underway with his plan. He’s posted covers of country classics for years, but now, he makes his full coronation into the country space with his new album.
He teamed with Morgan Wallen for the six-week Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “I Had Some Help,” and his collaboration with Blake Shelton, “Pour Me a Drink,” is at No. 14 on the Country Airplay chart.
Both of those songs are included on F-1 Trillion, alongside collaborations with Luke Combs, Dolly Parton, Jelly Roll, Tim McGraw, Ernest, Hank Williams Jr., Lainey Wilson, Brad Paisley, Sierra Ferrell, HARDY and Chris Stapleton. A few weeks ago, Combs joined Post Malone as they filmed a video for their song “Guy For That” atop a flatbed trailer as it rolled through downtown Nashville (Combs has two collabs on F-1 Trillion, “Guy For That” and “Missin’ You Like This”). Prior to that, he was joined by Wilson, Ernest and songwriter Ashley Gorley to perform a show at Nashville’s famed songwriter stomping grounds, The Bluebird Cafe, and then welcoming fans to a show at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works, where he played more songs from the album, including the tender ode to his daughter, “Yours,” while HARDY joined him for “Hide My Gun,” Shelton teamed up with Post Malone for “Pour Me a Drink,” and Sierra Ferrell joined for “Never Love You Again” (Post Malone also performed with Joe Nichols during the event).
Earlier this week, Posty made another debut–his Grand Ole Opry debut–as he played a mix of his own songs from the album and other artists’ country songs that he loves. Paisley joined him for “Goes Without Saying” from F-1 Trillion, while Wilson joined for “Nosedive” and The War and Treaty joined him for “California Sober” (Chris Stapleton performs the song on Post’s album). Meanwhile, Vince Gill and John Michael Montgomery also collaborated with Post on the Opry stage.
