{"product_id":"post-malone-austin-cd","title":"Post Malone - Austin [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePost Malone's Austin, named after the man behind the persona, arrives here on CD: a guitar-led, openly personal turn from one of pop's biggest stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2023, his fifth studio album stepped away from the hip-hop collaborations that filled his earlier records. There are no guest features at all, just Post singing over melodies built from acoustic and electric guitars, sleek synths and big, open choruses. Lyrically he wrestles with fame, sobriety, loneliness and the strange gap between a public image and a private life, and he sounds more comfortable in his own skin than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead single \"Chemical\" bounces on a bright, restless riff while confessing to a habit-forming relationship, and \"Mourning\" turns heartache into a polished, sunlit pop song. \"Overdrive\" chases eighties synth-rock energy with a grin, while \"Something Real\" lays bare the vulnerability that runs underneath everything else on the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeventeen tracks long, it moves easily between stadium-ready hooks and quieter, late-night confessions, and it rewards anyone who came for the hits and stayed for the songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans tracing his path from Texas rap upstart to stadium-sized pop rock, Austin is a key chapter, and the one where the face tattoos and the man underneath finally sound like the same person.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499437990193,"sku":"602455796288","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_33ca5361-b55f-43a3-826b-ba9476bd5f0f.jpg?v=1794506958","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/post-malone-austin-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
