In a recent interview with Apple Music, Post Malone opened up about his long-standing desire to create a country album and the challenges he faced in making it a reality. “I gotta keep writing in Nashville. I’ve always wanted to make a record like this, but for the longest time, it [seemed] so inaccessible because I [didn’t] know how the hell it [worked],” Post shared candidly.
He went on to explain the initial hurdles he encountered while navigating the country music scene. “I didn’t know how band day worked. I didn’t know how session dudes worked, and I was just like,’Well, is it like these particular artists’ band that they go with all the time?’” Post Malone admitted, reflecting on the steep learning curve he faced.
However, his journey into country music became more tangible once he started collaborating with some of Nashville’s finest musicians. “But going in there and meeting Derek [Wells] and Larry Franklin and Paul Franklin and Craig [Young] and Dave Cohen and Aaron [Sterling], and it was just so cool. And I’m just mind blown,” he said, expressing his amazement at the talent and professionalism he encountered in the studio.
The release of F-1 Trillion marks a significant moment in Post Malone’s career as he explores a new musical landscape.
