Mourning

Post Malone

<p>Earlier this week, <a href="/profile/postmalone" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Post Malone</a> took to his Instagram to speak with fans, sharing a candid video. In it, he revealed that his upcoming album, titled <em>Austin</em>, is <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/677144-post-malone-austin-new-album" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">slated for release on July 28</a>. Additionally, the artist informed his fans that his next single, &#8220;Mourning,&#8221; would be released this week. In the message, the 27-year-old singer and rapper <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/677352-post-malone-if-yall-werent-here-id-be-crying-north-american-tour" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hinted at embarking</a> on a different artistic direction for his forthcoming project. Considering that Post&#8217;s previous albums, like <em>Twelve Carat Toothache</em>, have already explored other directions to some extent, it will be intriguing to witness the extent to which he pushes his boundaries.</p>



<p>Upon making the announcement of the new album, Post shared some thoughts on the music and his feelings toward his fans. “Hey guys, what’s going on? It’s Posty. I wanted to say that I love you guys so very f*ckin’ much. I’m here on tour in Europe right now,&#8221; Post said. &#8220;And I wanted to tell you guys that I have an album coming out this summer on July 28th. It’s called <em>Austin</em>, like my name. That is my name. It’s been some of the funnest music, some of the most challenging and rewarding music for me, at least.&#8221; Now, fans are getting another look at the album with a second single, &#8220;Mourning.&#8221;</p>

<p>Post Malone is getting extremely self-reflective on his new track. The production on the song is both dreamy and heavy. There are lots of spacy guitar arpeggios happening while a very distorted 808 blasts on the chorus. &#8220;I call my quote-unquote friends, do you got plans / turns out everyone&#8217;s free when the dinner is,&#8221; Post sings on the track. &#8220;Then they drag me to a party out in Malibu / after thirty High Noons, it was pretty cool.&#8221;</p>



<p>The track serves as a sad and sobering (ha ha) reminder that fame and fortune is not all its cracked up to be. Post&#8217;s verses about fairweather friends just go to show how having the wrong people around you can make your life miserable. It&#8217;s an interesting track to hear now that Post is reportedly<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/670644-post-malone-slimmer-figure-photos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> living a much healthier lifestyle</a>. Check out the track above and let us know what you think in the comments!</p>



<p><strong>Quotable Lyrics: </strong><br><br>Don&#8217;t want to sober up<br>The sun is killin&#8217; my buzz, that&#8217;s why they call it &#8220;mourning&#8221;<br>Thought I was strong enough<br>Threw my bottle at the sky, said, &#8220;God, that&#8217;s a warning&#8221;</p>
