Hardy Reveals His True Feelings About Post Malone Going Country
In a recent interview, Hardy got to talking about Posty and said,
He came to Nashville and said, ‘I wanna do this the way you guys do it.’ He had songwriters that the world has never heard of. But in Nashville, they have written tons of hit songs.
The “Wait in the Truck” singer continued, “He didn’t just want me and Ernest and Morgan [Wallen] and Brad Paisley and Eric Church and Tim McGraw, he was like, ‘Who are the good songwriters in this town? I want to write with those guys.'”
Hardy seemed extremely open and honest about everything he was saying. He continued gushing over Malone.
“He immersed himself into the songwriting culture of the town, and I respect that a lot. He didn’t care about who anybody was, he just wanted to get the best song. Made a great record because of it.”
