As only two months separate fans of Post Malone from his forthcoming album, ‘Austin,’ they should expect to hear a lot of noise around the highly anticipated project in the coming weeks ahead of its arrival on July 28.

Following the April-released single, ‘Chemical‘ (which stalled just outside of the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 at #13), Posty is hoping for better luck with its official follow-up: ‘Mourning.’

“Don’t want to sober up / The sun is killin’ my buzz, that’s why they call it “Mourning” / Thought I was strong enough / Threw my bottle at the sky, said, “God, that’s a warning,” the 27-year-old croons on the Louis Bell-produced track.

Expected to be one of many gems performed on Malone’s forthcoming ‘If Ya’ll Weren’t Here, I’d Be Crying Tour’ tour, hop inside to hear ‘Mourning’ before the delivery of its accompanying video (which is reportedly being filmed in Scotland).
