Singer Delivers New Hit Single Sans Morgan Wallen At Academy Of Country Music Awards
Posty goes to ACM: After months of teasing his country crossover, Post Malone took part in one of the genre's biggest nights as he performed his new single 'I Had Some Help' as well as his track 'Never Love You Again' at the Academy of Country Music Awards .
Malone, a Texas native, took the stage to sing the tender “Never Love You Again.” The singer and his band then launched into “I Had Some Help,” minus Morgan Wallen, who appears on the studio version but is in the middle of a stadium tour that includes two shows outside of New York this coming weekend. With no help on “I Had Some Help,” Malone still kept the energy high, further ensuring that the song will be a top contender for Song of the Summer before the season even properly begins.
“I Had Some Help” — which is on track to debut at Number One on the Hot 100 — serves as the first preview of Malone's first full-length country album, which will be released later this year.
During his Stagecoach debut in April, Malone performed a set full of country covers with guests Brad Paisley, Sara Evans and Dwight Yoakam, but none of his own country-inspired songs. However, after a week spent teasing their collaborative single, Malone appeared on stage during Wallen's groundbreaking Stagecoach to debut “I Had Some Help” live. the studio version and video arrived a week later.
The musician tested the waters of the genre with a few appearances alongside prominent country artists at events like the CMA Awards, as well as covers of country classics like Hank Williams' “Honky Tonk Blues.” Malone also appeared on “Levii's Jeans,” off Beyoncé's new country album Cowboy Carter.
