Post Malone Returns With TWELVE CARAT TOOTHACHE
It’s been almost three years since her last album, but Post Malone has finally reappeared.
On his fourth studio album, Twelve Carat Toothache, which he calls “the most honest record I’ve ever made,” he addresses heavy hits like The Weeknd, Gunna and The Kid LAROI. The 14-track set also includes the single “Cooped Up” with the help of Roddy Rich, “I Like You (A Happypier Song)” with Doja Cat, and “Love/Hate Letter to Alcohol” with Fleet Foxes, which she performed on “SNL”.
Speaking to Apple Music, Post explained why Twelve Carat Toothache is his favorite album so far. “We had enough time to work on it, that’s for sure,” he said for the sequel to 2019’s Hollywood Bleeding. “It was hard in the beginning. But then I came to what I liked to do, who I was, and what made me happy… Now I’m happy and I love making music.”
During the pandemic, the album began recording in Malibu. “I sat alone in this dark room with my laptop for 12 hours in Malibu and just did the rhythm,” she recalls. “For 12 hours. He made a bunch of mushrooms, he made a stroke. And I said, ‘Wow, that’s great.’ … The album just wrote itself from there.”
Post, who is expecting her first child, actually wanted to publish the project for free. “My original plans for the record were crazy. I seemed to be free, but very interesting. My ideas are crazy. So my ideas are nuts. I knew they couldn’t fly.”
