Dolby Presents Dolby Atmos Music and Post Malone, Exploring What Drives His Creativity and Desire to Connect with Fans

Post Malone shares his “mind-blowing” experience with Dolby Atmos Music and how it allowed him to hear things he has never heard before

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, is unveiling the third short film of its Dolby Atmos Music campaign featuring global superstar, Post Malone, one of 2019’s most streamed artists.

“For the next stop on our journey to redefine music, we take a ride with Post Malone to share his creative process and reaction to experiencing his own music in Dolby Atmos for the first time,” said Todd Pendleton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Dolby Laboratories. “Post said it best, ‘I’ve never heard music like this.’”

Spotlighting his latest hit Circles, which has been one of the top songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart, the film explores Post Malone’s desire to connect with people through music and the journey behind his rise to success – from playing shows at SXSW with only a few people in the audience to performing at sold out stadiums across the world. Post Malone also shares how Dolby Atmos captured his emotions in a way that he has never felt before and how this platform will change how music is created and experienced. Fans can hear his latest hit, Circles, today in Dolby Atmos on Echo Studio through Amazon Music HD.

“Listening in Dolby Atmos blew my mind. It is the coolest thing that’s happened to me in a long time,” said Post Malone. “Stereo’s been around forever, and this is something completely different. It’s going to arm artists with a new way to get their ideas out. I’ve never heard anything like it.”

The series has given millions of people around the world an intimate look into the creative minds of today’s top artists to showcase their personal ethos, stories, and close relationship with fans.
