Earlier today, Post Malone teased a new collaboration with country music star Chris Stapleton. The clip came on social media, where Malone shared a snippet of the new song, showcasing the duo against a gritty, southern-rock backdrop. This collaboration is the latest in a series of high-profile partnerships Malone has been unveiling in the lead-up to the release of his album “F-1 Trillion” on August 16th, with a tour of the same name to follow shortly after.
Post Malone, the genre-agnostic chameleon best-known for his chart-topping hits in hip-hop and pop, has been hard at work this year promoting his first-ever full-length country album. This move has been a long time coming, following years of masterful cover songs and allusions to his country fandom. For fans of Posty’s smash hit with Morgan Wallen, Malone’s foray into country promises a fresh yet familiar sound, likely to appeal to both his existing fanbases.
The album features collaborations with some of the biggest names in country music, including Blake Shelton, Luke Combs, and of course, Morgan Wallen. Over the last few weeks, Post has endeared himself to the Nashville community with appearances at some of its biggest establishments alongside the genre’s biggest stars. Last month, he hit the ACM Awards stage to sing a sultry, throwback tune, as well as the Allman Brother’s southern rock classic “Ramblin’ Man” with host Reba McEntire.
In recent weeks, Malone has been sharing snippets of collaborations with various country superstars; he recently dropped “Pour Me A Drink” with Blake Shelton, and of course, his duet with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help,” dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks.
Adding to the excitement, Post Malone has been making surprise appearances at various events. Just last night, he dropped into the Bluebird Cafe, a premiere songwriters’ haunt, to duet “I Had Some Help” with Lainey Wilson and Ashley Gorley acoustically, along with a handful of other tunes. He also took the stage for a surprise performance with Blake Shelton at CMA Fest earlier this month.
Fans attending the “F-1-Trillion” tour can sign up for presale tickets on Post Malone’s official website.
As fans eagerly await more details on his duet with Chris Stapleton, one thing is certain: Post Malone’s foray into country music is set to be one of the most talked-about events of the year. With his album F-1 Trillion dropping on August 16th and the tour kicking off shortly after, the genre-blending artist is poised to make a significant impact in a brand new way.
