Post Malone Talks Country Album
Speaking of country albums, Post Malone has played coy on when he will drop a full country album. He previously wrote, “I think I’ll do it whenever the time is right in the studio. And I’m just vibing, f–king around. I think it’ll be a fun time [and] I just like creating stuff and making everything.”
In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Post Malone said he could drop a country album whenever the mood strikes him. “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.”
He continued, “I split my time between a lot of different things because I am happily obligated to do concerts and show love to my fans … and then I’m happily obligated to write music and make beats by myself, and I’m happily obligated to, you know, take care of my family. So, it’s a lot of time, and it’s about finding that space to allot that time. If I get another year to myself, maybe I’ll make a f–king country album.”
For now, fans will have to attend to the singer spitting Toby Keith covers.
