It felt so good to record this way. Even on the first day, we were like ‘wow, this sounds like our band.’ And to do something that's very real and gritty and has little mistakes in it just feels alive and human.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sunflower-performed-by-water-tower-from-pickin-on-post-malone","title":"\"Chemical\" performed by JD Casper from Pickin' On Post Malone","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom our upcoming \u003cem\u003ePickin' On Post Malone\u003c\/em\u003e album, we're proud to present \u003cstrong\u003eJD Casper's rendition of \"Chemical\"\u003c\/strong\u003e as the second single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick below to listen wherever you stream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/POpostmalone\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eclick here to pre-save the full album\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/POpostmalone\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, releasing 7\/31. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=77t-6MoTWzY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eClick here to watch the music video\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003efor our first single, Water Tower's \"Sunflower.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; text-align: center; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; max-width: 600px; margin: 0px auto;\"\u003e \n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 32px 0; font-size: 20px; opacity: 0.7;\"\u003eStream on your favorite platform\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/POchemical\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display: inline-block; padding: 20px 60px; background: #1DB954; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 50px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 2px; transition: transform 0.2s; margin-bottom: 20px;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e     ▶  LISTEN NOW  \u003c\/a\u003e  \n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 15px; opacity: 0.6; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003e    Spotify · Apple Music · YouTube · Amazon · \u0026amp; more \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e#jp_container_1 {display: none; !important;}\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"CMH Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45820455747686,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1271\/8277\/files\/PO_Post_Malone_chemical.jpg?v=1783020531"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cmhrecords.com\/collections\/big-richard.oembed","provider":"CMH Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
