AUSTIN by Post Malone

AUSTIN, which shares its title with the man's own first name, is Post Malone's fifth studio album, out on July 28, 2023 through Mercury and Republic, with a bonus edition following five days later with a new track. It's his big guitar record: the hip-hop and R&B shades of his past albums fade out, replaced by guitar-driven pop, indie pop and pop rock, and for the first time there isn't a single guest on it.

Malone co-produced with Andrew Watt, Louis Bell, Max Martin and Rami Yacoub, and the songs strum and soar with an arena-sized ache. "Chemical" led the way, followed by "Mourning", "Overdrive" and "Enough Is Enough". Critics mostly warmed to it, and it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 113,000 units.
