A Bold And Authentic Dive Into Country Music: Post Malone – ‘F-1 Trillion’ Review

Words: Thomas Pigg

Post Malone’s new country album, ‘F-1 Trillion’, marks a surprising yet impressive shift from his usual sound. Released on August 16, 2024, this album demonstrates that Posty isn’t just dipping his toes into the country genre—he’s diving in headfirst and doing it with style. This album has been highly anticipated, and for good reason. Post Malone has consistently proven himself as a versatile artist, and ‘F-1 Trillion’ is no exception. The album not only reflects his musical adaptability but also his respect for country music’s roots, blending the old with the new in a way that feels both innovative and authentic.

One of the standout aspects of ‘F-1 Trillion’ is the impressive lineup of collaborations with some of country music’s most iconic figures. Heavyweights like Tim McGraw, Dolly Parton, and Luke Combs bring their distinctive styles to the table, and these collaborations genuinely hit the mark. ‘Wrong Ones’ with McGraw, for instance, has a gritty, outlaw vibe that showcases both artists at their best. On the other hand, ‘Have the Heart’ featuring Dolly Parton blends Malone’s signature modern sound with classic country vibes, creating a track that feels timeless.

But the album isn’t just about the big-name features, Post Malone’s solo tracks are equally remarkable and demonstrate his growth as an artist. ‘What Don’t Belong to Me’ stands out as a deeply personal song, diving into themes of heartache and the emotional toll of a rockstar lifestyle. It’s a track that feels raw and real, showing a side of Post Malone that fans might not have seen before. Similarly, ‘Yours,’ an emotional ballad dedicated to his daughter, wraps up the album with a touching personal note. The song, written for his daughter’s future wedding,
is both tender and bittersweet, offering a glimpse into Post Malone’s life off the stage.

Post Malone manages to blend traditional country sounds with his own unique twist, creating something fresh yet familiar. This album is definitely worth checking out with a runtime of just under an hour you will be moving to the beat the entire time. With some people questioning and judging Posty for getting involved with country music, I think he deserves the respect for making this masterpiece.
