Malone, whose repertoire includes rap, rock, and R&B, seems very comfortable in the country style of his 2024 album ‚F-1 Trillion.‘
Post Malone has recorded songs and albums in rap and R&B, pop and rock, but Sunday night at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival he delivered what might be considered the first county headline set in festival history.
Bold move? Absolutely. A success? Mmm, mostly.
Malone’s most recent album, 2024’s “F-1 Trillion,” went hard into country music, including collaborations with country stars such as Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, and more. And while six tracks from that record made up roughly a third of his 19-song set, his choices from other albums also hewed closely to country rock.
Malone opened with “Texas Tea,” a song from his 2023 album “Austin” which mixes hip-hop tropes with country references. A few songs later, “Better Now,” a pop song from 2018’s “Beerbongs & Bentleys,” added country accents such as lap steel guitar and fiddle.
