Post Malone officially enters his country era as his debut country album, F-1 Tris has been released.
Almost a decade ago, the Texan already predicted his journey into country music, in a tweet he stated“When I turn 30, I'm going to be a country/folk singer.” Now 29, Post Malone is already well on his way. He's been releasing covers of country classics for years, but now, he's making his full coronation in the country space with his new album.
He teamed with Morgan Wallen for the six-week Billboard Hot 100 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 these songs are included F-1 Trisalongside 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” on top of a flatbed trailer as it rolled through downtown Nashville (Combs has two collaborations on F-1 Tris“Guy For That” and “Missin' You Like This”). Before that, he was joined by Wilson, Ernest and songwriter Ashley Gorley to headline a show at the famed Nashville songwriter's The Bluebird Cafe, then welcome fans to a show at Nashville's Marathon Music Works, where he played more songs from the albums, including the tender ode to his daughter, “Yous,” while Hardy joined him on “Hide My Gun,” Shelton collaborated with Post Malone on “Pour Me a Drink,” and Sierra Ferrell 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 country songs by the artists he loves. Paisley joined him for 'Goes Without Saying' from F-1 Triswhile Wilson joined for “Nosedive” and The War and Treaty joined him for “California Sober” (Chris Stapleton performs the song on the Post album). Meanwhile, Vince Gill and John Michael Montgomery also worked with Post on the Opry stage.
