Post Malone, renowned for hits like “Circles,” may soon be crooning a different tune if his latest musical rendition is any indication. The 28-year-old artist recently showcased his love for country music with a cover of Garth Brooks’ iconic 1990 song “Friends in Low Places,” stirring excitement and approval from fans and the Country Music Hall of Famer himself.
Sharing a casual video on Instagram where he strums his guitar and sings the beloved chorus, Malone hinted at a potential genre crossover. Garth Brooks, upon reviewing Malone’s performance during an episode of his Facebook Live show Inside Studio G, was visibly impressed. “This is awesome,” Brooks exclaimed, highlighting Malone’s evident passion for the genre. “He’s one of those guys that when he sings, he’s alive. And you can tell that he just loves to do it.”
The endorsement from Brooks is not just a nod to Malone’s talent but also a welcoming gesture into the country music family. Fans on social media responded with enthusiasm, with one commenting on Malone’s deep dive into country vibes and another humorously predicting a shift in perception among traditional country music listeners.
As Malone continues to blur the lines between genres, his venture into country music might just be the refreshing twist his career trajectory needs, promising a potential blend of modern pop with classic country soul.
