Post Malone Shares Hootie and the Blowfish Cover ‘Only Wanna Be with You’ for Pokemon

Post Malone hasn’t dropped any new music for a while but he returns with a surprise today.

The superstar has shared a cover of Hootie and the Blowfish’s 1995 classic ‘Only Wanna Be with You‘. Dubbed the “Pokémon 25 Version,” Posty has covered the hit in order to celebrate the much publicized 25th anniversary of Pokémon. This is right in his lane and he did a good job here — listen below.

The Pokémon Company is also expected to announce new games this week, although no official announcement has been made yet.
