The 26-year-old described a creative switch that needed to be flipped when getting in the right state of mind for his new project.
“There was a switch that flipped, and it felt like I was making Stoney,” he said. “I lost that, and the hardest part is getting it back. It ebbs and flows. It’s figuring out: ‘Just because I’m not inspired to do it at the moment doesn’t mean I’m giving up.’ ”
Post Malone also revealed it’s his shortest LP to date. twelve carat toothache clocks in around 45 minutes which is about six minutes shorter in length 2019’s Hollywood’s Bleeding. Post’s manager, Dre London, says fans will also have to wait for 2023 to see a world tour from his client.
