Post Malone: F-1 Trillion review: Feel-good country... by Taylor's favourite rap star, writes ADRIAN THRILLS
ADRIAN THRILLS: So, does Post Malone bring anything fresh to the rodeo? With F-1 Trillion an affectionate homage rather than a ground-breaking endeavour, that's debatable.
What's more, the duets in question — Fortnight on Taylor's LP and Levii's Jeans on Cowboy Carter — are high points on a couple of the year's best albums, with Post's tender voice dovetailing seamlessly with two of the most famous women in pop. If those collaborations were a surprise to fans who had him pegged as an R&B and hip-hop phenomenon who occasionally strayed into alternative rock — as when he live-streamed a set of Nirvana covers from his home during lockdown — then his latest move will come as an even greater shock: on F-1 Trillion, Malone has made a feel-good country record. Named after a character, Johnny Fontane, in The Godfather (the D.C. bit stands for Dublin City), the band are now embracing everything from lush balladry to 1990s nu metal, while still offering something to older fans who grew up on the 1980s post-punk rock of Echo & The Bunnymen and fellow Irishmen U2 (the group covered U2's song One in 2022).
