Since 2022, not a year has passed since Post Malone has released an album. And this year is no different. Today (June 18), the Dallas-born artist has announced his sixth studio album, F1-Trillion.

Post announced the news via Instagram, in a post featuring a billboard, with a Ford F-150 logo, featuring the title written out in numerical form.

Ahead of the album, Post has released the Morgan Wallen collaboration, “I Had Some Help.” His Instagram bio indicated that his new single, “Pour Me A Drink” arrives this Friday (June 21).

Post has remained tight-lipped about the album, however, a press release accompanying “I Had Some Help” describe the upcoming record as “Post’s first-ever full-length country album.”

It was only a matter of time before Post gave a hand to country music. After all, his pop, hip-hop, and rock resume confirm that he cannot be put in a box.

But his versatile nature is a hallmark of his artistry, as he said in an interview with Esquire last year.

“You used to get trapped in one thing and you’re like, ‘Oh, well, this is all I listen to,’ ” Malone said. “And that’s what I think has made my career so interesting, just being able to f*cking take what I like and mix it in a way that is authentic to me.”

F1-Trillion is out 8/16 via Mercury/Republic. Find more information here.

Post Malone Previews His Debut Country Album With The Morgan Wallen Collaboration ‘I Had Some Help’

Post Malone started his career running in hip-hop circles before putting a greater emphasis on poppier music in recent albums. Now, he has another pivot coming, as indicated by his latest single: “I Had Some Help,” a collaboration with country superstar Morgan Wallen.

The midtempo tune, which isn’t short on twang, sees Malone reflecting on his shortcomings, singing on the chorus, “I had some help / It ain’t like I can make this kinda mess all by myself / Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf / Been deep in every weekend if you couldn’t tell / They say, ‘Teamwork makes the dream work’ / Hell, I had some help.”

This isn’t just a one-off foray into country for Malone, either: A press release notes the song will be featured on his “first-ever full-length country album this year.” Additional information about that project hasn’t yet been shared.

The new single comes shortly after Malone was one of the highlights of this year’s Stagecoach festival. Uproxx’s Philip Cosores noted, “Though he first emerged through the world of SoundCloud rap, Posty has proven to be good at most things he tries. His own original music has veered into a genreless mélange that reflects the omnivorous tastes of many young music fans, while he’s proven to be adept at everything from Nirvana covers to acting. As a proud Texan, it’s not surprising that he would also slay as a country cover band, curating a set of radio hits that felt like a rowdy bar with a great house band or jukebox.”
