Post Malone has opened up about the unique and somewhat nerve-wracking experience of collaborating with Beyoncé on his latest album, Cowboy Carter. Despite the high-profile nature of the project, Post Malone has admitted that he never actually met the global superstar in person during the collaboration process, describing it as both “terrifying” and “surreal.”
Post Malone, known for his genre-blending style and laid-back persona, is no stranger to working with big names in the music industry. However, when it came to working with Beyoncé, things were far from typical. In a recent interview, Malone shared that their collaboration was done entirely remotely, with the two artists never setting foot in the same studio. While remote collaborations have become increasingly common in the digital age, the idea of creating a track with someone as iconic as Beyoncé without ever meeting her face-to-face left Post Malone feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety.
“It was honestly terrifying,” Post Malone confessed. “You’re working with someone who is literally one of the greatest artists of all time, and you don’t even get to meet them or vibe in the studio. It’s like you’re sending your work off into the void and just praying it comes back with her blessing.”
The collaboration on Cowboy Carter began when Post Malone’s team reached out to Beyoncé’s camp with a demo track that they thought would be a perfect fit for her. To Malone’s amazement, Beyoncé agreed to work on the song. But rather than heading to the studio together, they exchanged ideas, vocals, and notes through digital means—an experience that Malone described as both thrilling and daunting.
“Every time I got something back from her, it was like Christmas morning,” Post Malone said. “But it was also nerve-wracking because you’re waiting to see if what you’ve done lives up to her standards. And trust me, her standards are sky-high.”
Despite the challenges, the final product turned out to be a standout track on Cowboy Carter, blending Post Malone’s signature sound with Beyoncé’s powerful vocals and distinct style. The song has since become a fan favorite, praised for its seamless fusion of both artists’ strengths.
Post Malone also reflected on how the collaboration pushed him out of his comfort zone. Known for his relaxed, almost nonchalant approach to music, working with Beyoncé forced him to raise his game. “You can’t half-step when you’re working with someone like her,” he said. “It made me really dig deep and put everything I had into the track.”
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time artists have collaborated without meeting in person, especially in the era of digital communication and remote work. However, for Post Malone, who values personal connections and the energy of in-studio collaboration, this experience was particularly unique.
Fans of both Post Malone and Beyoncé have been buzzing about the collaboration, with many expressing surprise that the two never met during the process. Some have even speculated that the remote nature of the collaboration added a mysterious, almost otherworldly quality to the track, making it even more special.
As for whether Post Malone and Beyoncé will ever meet in person, the singer is hopeful. “I’d love to meet her one day and just say thank you for everything she brought to the song,” he said. “But for now, I’m just grateful for the experience and for the chance to work with someone I’ve admired for so long.”
The collaboration on Cowboy Carter may have been unconventional, but it has resulted in a powerful piece of music that fans are sure to cherish for years to come. Post Malone’s story is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of music creation and the surprising ways that artists can connect and collaborate in today’s world.
