Post Malone has apologised to fans for the wait for his next album.
The Circles hitmaker has been busy preparing his follow-up to 2024’s F-1 Trillion, which has been a mammoth undertaking.
Last year, the rapper claimed he had "made probably 35 songs" for his next country album, but, this summer, he teased fans with a snippet of a new track that went back to his hip-hop roots.
Now, he's captioned a picture of himself sitting in front of a whiteboard showing how he is organising his material: "Seasons greetings nerds… Almost done with this sumb****!! I’m sorry it’s taking so goddamn long… I can’t wait to share this piece of music with y’all. We are so proud of what we’ve made… a s***load of songs coming!!! I promise next time it won’t take 3 years… I love you so very much. Remember you kick a**!!!!! (sic)"
The coloured system shows that some songs are further along than others.
Speaking to Billboard before his Coachella set in 2025, he said of working with collaborators including Ernest, Hardy and Thomas Rhett in Nashville: “We just have fun. We just sit and f* talk and make songs. And so I’m pretty excited for the new record already.”
With regards to the bunch of songs he's recorded, he said "it’s just a matter of which one’s rock, and which one’s sock."
He told the publication: "I sit there and listen to these songs, and I usually hate listening to my music, but listening to the band play, I get so excited.”
Speaking about how he incorporates all his different styles – also including rock and pop - into one seamless set, he said: “You put a twist on the instrumentation and the musicianship of it.
"We have Lillie [Mae] playing the fiddle and Cheese [Chandler Walters] playing the steel [guitar] and incorporating that into the old songs and then transitioning into the new s… that’s always been the thing about me, is it’s all just f****** music.”
He even pushed back his Big A** Tour with Jelly Roll by a few weeks to focus on getting the LP finished.
There's still no set release date for the record, which is believed to be called The Eternal Buzz.
