For ten years, Post Malone has established himself in the great hip-hop pond. The 29-year-old American rapper returns on Friday, August 16 with his new album, F-1 Trillionin a radically different style: country. Post Malone achieved success in 2015, with the single White Inversion and his first album Stoney, the following year, which ranked sixth on the Billboard 200. Then he triumphed in 2018 with his second album, Beerbongs & Bentleys, containing both number 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, Rockstar And Psycho.
In October 2018, he released Sunflowera global hit featured on the film’s soundtrack Spider-Man: New Generation and remained in the American top 10 for 32 weeks. The young man with an almost entirely tattooed body and face accumulates records for sales, listening and awards.
In the United States, however, no one was surprised to see it appear last March on the title Levii’s Jeansin Beyoncé’s country album, Cowboy Carter. Because Post Malone has always rocked in a universe of guitars. He himself has always composed, also cherishing this “white trash” side attached to country. This new album, F-1 Trillionis nevertheless a turning point in his career.
Country is more than ever a popular genre in the United States. On this new album, Post Malone has invited big names like Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, Blake Shelton and Morgan Wallen. And success is already guaranteed with the half-million pre-orders mark reached a few days ago. The album is promised to top the sales charts, alongside Taylor Swift and therefore, Beyoncé.
