Post Malone: 'AUSTIN', Aliens & Fatherhood | Apple Music

Post Malone first gained widespread recognition with the release of his debut single "White Iverson" in 2015, which quickly went viral and put him on the map as a rising star in the music industry. Since then, his life has changed drastically. His new album, 'AUSTIN' reflects the new Post Malone.
Post Malone sits down with Zane Lowe for an intimate conversation about his life and career. From his personal upbringing and newfound priorities as a parent to his honest reflections on drinking and the challenges of anxiety in the spotlight, Post fearlessly shares his journey.

Glad to see you’re being so open to your growth and your change of life’s perspective. You’re an amazing artist and I’m convinced that the world will never see another Austin Post. Keep doing you we don’t deserve it ❤️

Hello Mr Malone, you are a very cool person

[@ThatsFarked]

You’re amazing Austin. Never change🤍

“You can’t auto tune soul” - no truer words spoken. I’m old enough to be his mom but I adore this man. I’ve seen him perform 3 times now and he does put his soul into it.

[@amberbrown-cox759]

Really awesome 👏 journey to be a part of and I look forward to seeing Austin LIVE and meet such a wonderful soul ♥️

[@petegeniuk9281]

Watching Posty go from such a low to this incredible high is one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen. So glad to see him thriving and living his life the best way possible!

There’s something so calming and reassuring about Austin’s nature. I’ve never met or seen anybody else in my 28 years that makes me feel the way he does when he’s speaking. What a F***ing guy man seriously 👏

[@sinescribir]

I know, right? When I’m stressed and nothing can calm me down, I listen to his music, watch interviews or concerts, and I feel so much peace and happiness❤ seeing him live healed so much in me, I’m greatful he’s one of a kind:’)

Well... Posty is only one year older than me... so I would rather want to date him... However, he's currently in a relationship... and lives on a different continent... It seems like it won't happen in this lifetime... 💔😵‍💫😄… But as Justin Bieber once said „Never Say Never“ … 🌈😂

Zane is always the most down to earth "interviewer" ever. To the point where he isn't even an interviewer and we are now watching two friends having a heart to heart conversation about the things they love. Cannot wait to see Post live on his If yall weren't here Id be crying tour, already booked my ticket to see this pure human being

[@kalondamack339]

Right!?! I've felt like he was a little too much at times but it's only ever come off as real and a genuine care for the artist he talks to and their work. Like as soon as Zane starts to talk he immediately establishes mutual-respect but the tone of his voice also delivers it w care and empathy.

[@atrainofthought99]

His interviews with Paramore and tame impala are top tier too!!!

[@santana4428]

@@kalondamack339 and it really shows how genuine he is when he is friends with the ppl he interviews and their families outside of the videos which is amazing because a lot of interviewers just use the celebrities for clout, they ask the questions then go their seperate ways…

why’d you put interviewer in quotes??

[@FincherCreative]

@@buddysteele7624 Because he's chatting with a friend, not interviewing them. But yet he is an interviewer. Hence the "interviewer."

If you're watching this and you're going through something really hard, just know that you are loved so much by so many people whether you know it or not. We love Post because his heart is so big, and he takes care of his fans. Take care of yourself and be your biggest fan.

[@chundercat1130]

Honestly, how many artists do you see like this who are so real and true to themselves, so genuine, so down to earth. I think Austin would be everyones best friend without even trying, hes so polite and kind. I''ve been lucky enough to see him more than once and he gives everything during a live performance, a real artist in this day and age

[@petethedoodler]

I am 51 and have only just discovered his music. What Zane said at the end about soul. He has so much of it and his deliverance of his songs touches ours. I haven’t listened to music since 2020, but have started again because of this album. Arguably the best album out there at the moment. Peace and love.

[@fuzzydimpelz9985]

"You can't auto-tune soul"... loved every bit of this

[@madcircle1970]

I like how Zane approaches alcohol. As a person who has a dubious relationship with alcohol, I enjoy how he touches on the control aspect then leaves it alone.

He’s always been extraordinarily kind and sweet in these interviews but in this one you can see a certain tranquility in his eyes and in the way he talks. Can’t wait for AUSTIN.

[@LockIsLive]

He seems more in tune with his emotions.

[@greenmarcosu]

Post was already a 10/10 in my book, but the new album Austin is 11/10. I cannot believe how good it is. Yes, Radiohead shout out! 17:24

I absolutely love Post Malone. I have never seen someone so humble and down-to-earth and how much having their baby has changed his life❤

[@msjujub22]

The amount of respect Zane has for Austin makes me feel so good. Some interviewers don’t know boundaries or go deeper than just the surface. This feels so much more like a conversation rather than an interview. I always look forward to these conversations. So beyond excited for the new album!!!☺️

[@naiaaiello]

Austin is just the kindest, most polite, humble and incredible humans out there. I'm so glad he is successful and sharing all his amazingness around. I tear up saying this because, although I'm surely not his biggest fan (unfortunately for me) - I have so much love and respect for him. I hope he is always happy, healthy, and fulfilled and keeps shining his bright light on everyone. Much love to him and his family. Hope I follow his incredible journey for many decades to come. Zane is amazing too - of course! Also so kind and great.

[@harryprince9768]

This guy instantly became someone I was fascinated with from the second he released ‘Stoney’. Now, many years later, I’m sat here still as fascinated as ever by this beautiful human being, can’t wait for Friday. 🤟🏼❤️

[@brasinovic]

I’d still say Stoney is his best album. Every song was perfect and he had a unique sound. I’m hoping for Stoney pt. 2

[@sarahleebeauty6761]

his journey has been so inspiring, he’s so human and i love that he’s able to connect with everyone. these last few albums have been so amazing like better and better!

[@kathrynmcleod1275]

I've loved posty since he first came out. I'm so glad he found "himself" in the industry. He started out doing what he had to do to make it but he found himself and I am here for it all. I went to my first posty concert last October and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to and I plan on going to many more in the future! Thank you for this interview. Love you posty

[@alexduvall87]

What a great discussion. Austin seems like one of the most beautiful human beings to exist and Zane is a world class interviewer. The closing words almost brought me to tears and perfectly sums up Posty’s legacy up to this point. My only dying wish would be for the entire world to realise what an artist and gentleman he is. I can’t wait to hear this new album and the next chapter in the Post Malone story. 🙏

I love how Zane kept asking about certain songs and what Post was “feeling” or “thinking” when he wrote it and Postie goes right into the musicality of the song and might lightly touches on the lyrics but not too many details.

Contrary to all the haters, Post is the realest guy out there right now. He makes the music he wants, in his own way, in his own words. No matter his struggles, there's no arguing this is one of the most genuine musicians and people to look up to in the game these days.

[@riffraffrichard]

I find him an interesting authentic person. I can hear soul coming through his artwork. However, it’s slightly jarring cause I find the over production on his songs slightly distracting as it sound’s slightly generic to me. Just an aesthetic preference, though I can respect he’s being true to his vision.

[@joshlikesmaria]

Zane’s always a class act. Posty interviews never disappoint, love him.

[@GigiEpiic]

I enjoyed this sit down immensely. I related so much to Austin’s last album because I too was so sad, so dark and it was nice to find understanding within his lyrics because sometimes we need to see someone else go through what we are so that we can find the meaning - help us decipher our own turmoil. He’s a great storyteller and by the sounds of it, I will relate to this album as well and I can’t wait to hear it and this is why he is my top tier. I just love Post and I adore his spirit and I hope and pray he continues on through out this journey and finds some peace and quiet on that land of his when the time comes. ❤❤❤

[@riffraffrichard]

It’s funny I think it would be cool if he moved away from the high production sound. I know it’s a style and where he’s using his creativity to make interesting high production but I think it would be healing for him to present a more natural stripped back sound.

[@swagatmalla6634]

​@riffraffrichard I think his new song 'Overdrive' is a nice change.
