With his new studio album just one week away, Post Malone finally dropped his new single “Circles” today. The song was originally debuted earlier this month in New York, where he performed it on his Bud Light Dive Bar Tour and told fans it would be officially released the following week.
The performance was live-streamed on YouTube, and Post also announced that his new album would be out in September. While “Circles” is arriving a couple of weeks later than expected, the hype around the song has only continued to grow. Check it out below, and look for Post Malone’s new album, Hollywood’s Bleeding, which will be released next Friday.
Hip Hop’s current most infamous white boy is back, y’all. Post Malone just released his new single, ‘Goodbyes,’ featuring Young Thug. And y’all, I am here for it. Post Malone brings back his somber vibe on this song, singing about heartbreak over a melodic and sad sounding trap beat. Post Malone’s vocals are as good as ever, his raspiness really adding to the moody tone of the song. Lyrically, it is sad and emotional as well.
On the pre-chorus, he sings “I want you out of my head. I want you out of my bed, tonight. There’s no way I can save you. Because I need to be saved, too.” Young Thug drops a killer verse as well. His range with his vocals adds to the complexity of the track. I can’t wait to see what Post Malone does next, because this one was a home run!
T-Pain and Joey Badass have revealed that Post Malone‘s smash hit ‘rockstar’ originally featured both of them. In a now deleted tweet, Joey Badass confirmed that not only was he featured on the song, he also helped write it, making it his first #1 record.
In an interview with Billboard, Post Malone confirmed Joey Badass was in the studio during the recording of ‘Rockstar’ but he didn’t mention his contributions to the record.
“I was in New York, and we were at Quad Studios. Some kid came in, and I guess he was in the session next door and he was like, ‘Hey? Can I play you some beats?’ I’m like, ‘I guess so.’ You know, I’m a nice guy, I like music. I’ll listen to your beats. He played the beat and it was incredible. His name is Tank. He’s a really young guy, and a really talented producer,” Post Malone explained. “So we did that, and Joey Badass was in there. We were just vibing on it and the melody was sick. We just cut like a little scratch vocal and we took it back to LA. I finished my part and sent it off to [21] Savage—and there it is.”
