Post Malone says he doesn’t want to compromise with his music anymore.
Post Malone is all set to drop his next studio album this year, and it is revealed that the project is titled “Twelve Carat Toothache.” The 26-year-old artist becomes the latest cover star of Billboard, where he shares details of his upcoming music in the new interview. His shortest album to date, twelve carat toothache, clocks in just 45 minutes. He intended to eliminate filler this time and refused to compromise his talent on streaming.
“Trying to shove 20 to 25 songs, it doesn’t work. Talking to the label [it’s like], ‘Oh, if you have less songs, you’re not going to stream as much,’ but the whole thing is that you don’t want to compromise your art and your gut vibe on anything,” he said, revealing that his next project will be his shortest to date, with a run time of about 45 minutes. “I’ve made a lot of compromises, especially musically, but now I don’t feel like I want to anymore. I don’t need a No. 1; that doesn’t matter to me no more, and at a point, it did.”
“There was a switch that flipped, and it felt like I was making Stoney,” he said, referencing his 2016 debut album. “I lost that, and the hardest part is getting it back. It ebbs and flows. It’s figuring out: ‘Just because I’m not inspired to do it at the moment doesn’t mean I’m giving up.’”
Post Malone recently made his return to the music with The Weeknd collaboration called “One Right Now” which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 According to him, the new song will speak more to how I’m feeling at the moment: the ups and downs and the disarray and the bipolar aspect of being an artist in the mainstream.”
