POST MALONE Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Once-breakout hip-hop star Post Malone has come a long way since ‘White Iverson’, as he here follows up his 2023 album Austin with yet another full-length offering F-1 Trillion. His sixth album to date, and characteristic of the genre-hopping propensities of the late-stage capitalist, liquid modern condition, this record is an out-and-out embrace of country music, after the aforementioned Austin just as adventurously heard Malone go full synthpop and alt-rock. Flaunting his freedom, Malone said to Howard Stern, "To be honest, there's nothing stopping me from taking a camera or setting up in my studio in Utah and just recording a country album to put on YouTube. I'm allowed to do that. I'm a human being”. So he did. This is actually a stunningly bright record, never once letting up the crispy, neon aututuned blitzes endemic to the hip-hop Malone is known for, providing (neo-)neo-country a fresh soundworld all unto its own.

Review: Post Malone is back with his 6th album and his debut country album, F-1 Trillion. The album's second single, 'Pour Me a Drink,' featuring Blake Shelton, exemplifies the album's country bro vibe, perfect for enjoying a casual drink with friends is currently making waves on country stations throughout America. The first single, 'I Had Some Help' with Morgan Wallen has dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, marking Post Malone's sixth chart-topping single and Wallen's second. It has also achieved significant milestones, including topping both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts and amassing over a billion streams globally. Country music seems like the ideal place for his talents and a natural within the music genre. This album is poised to turn heads and change people's mind for the better on abilities of Post Malone.

Review: Post Malone's new album Austin is a nod to his real name - Austin Post, which immediately suggested the music in it will be more honest and vulnerable than ever before. It is his fifth album overall and one of 2023's most anticipated as the famously face-tattooed rapper builds on and intensifies the sound of his fourth studio album, Twelve Carat Toothache, from last year. He plays guitar on every single track and says it made the record the most challenging yet rewarding of his career to work on. Early singles 'Mourning' and 'Chemical' have already proven big hits with fans.

Review: Twelve Carat Toothache is the fourth studio album from multifaceted rap icon Post Malone. Aiming for a sound that both broadens his horizons and gives his fans a little uplift, Malone's contribution to the global tidal wave of pandemic-rooted LPs features Roddy Ricch, Doja Cat, Fleet Foxes, the Kid Laroi and the Weeknd. Digging into his confessional approach and teasing the possibilities of a pop-minded rap record on lead singles 'One Right Now', 'Cooped Up' and 'I Like You (A Happier Song)', Post Malone continues to evolve as an artist, leaving unique and compelling albums such as this one in his wake.

Review: Post Malone's Twelve Carat Toothache is said to be his 'sobering comedown.' It is the fourth album from the US rapper who is as well known for his face tattoos and various different aces as he is his work in the field of rap and hip hop. Here he gets more honest than ever with an intimate look at his life and plenty of shared struggles. Love and booze are big and reoccurring features - as are, however unlikely it may seem, the folk outfit Fleet Foxes who Post has cited as one of his musical heroes. In riding a middle ground between hip-hop and alt-pop, Malone strikes gold here.

Review: This third album from Post Malone was his second to top the Billboard 200 Chart. Once again it was defined by his melancholic style but was also filled with plenty of charm thanks to his versatile voice. His choruses once again shine through whether he's snarling and angry or more vulnerable and falsetto. Fans call it his best yet and the blend of genres he explores here certainly make that a fair shout. Add in the fact that Ozzy, La flame and SZA all feature and he might well have outdone himself.
