Blanks wants Post Malone collaboration

Blanks says a Post Malone collaboration would be "a dream come true".
The YouTube sensation – who caught the ‘Better Now’ rapper’s eye with an 80s version of his 2018 single – would love to team up with his famous fans, and he admitted the 24-year-old star is top of his wish list.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "A dream! Oh man, I would love to do something with Post Malone!
"Ariana Grande too, but Post Malone is even closer to what I do myself. If anything would be possible in the future between us, that would be a dream come true."
Blanks – who recently released new single ‘Sweaters’ – credits his Post Malone cover with pushing his career to another level, with 1.12 million followers on YouTube to date.
He added: "When I started doing covers I was like, ‘I need my thing, the weird thing that makes me stand out’. I came up with the idea of doing covers in one hour and that worked really well, and then I wanted to do something else and I came up with these style swaps.
"At first people didn’t really get it, but then after a month it blew up on Facebook with the Post Malone one, and it was like, maybe this was a good idea!"
And although Blanks is working on his own original material now – including new single ‘Sweaters’ – he doesn’t think a full length album is on the cards just yet.
He explained: "In my situation right now, I feel like an album would be too early. I don’t think I have really found a certain sound yet which I can get a whole album out of…
"It depends on what you want to get out of it. For now, I really want to keep releasing music and take people on the ‘hype train’.
"I feel like by releasing a single every three months, it’s just a better way than releasing a whole album."
Blanks is headlining London’s Colours Hoxton on April 21, before performing at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton (May 13-16).
