Mike Posner has all the time been a seeker—of knowledge, of reinvention of a deeper connection to music and self. His new monitor, “Beneath It All,” co-produced by Swedish House Mafia, is one other chapter in that transformative journey.
The opening moments of “Beneath It All” are unhurried and deliberate. Swedish Home Mafia set up a brooding environment, permitting Posner’s ageless voice to emerge like a distant mantra and intone a reflective affirmation: “The thrilling factor is it’s solely the start.”
What follows is a gradual crescendo the place melodic home synths bubble beneath the floor earlier than breaking open right into a dynamic, pulsating groove. Take a hear beneath.
Dance music has all the time been a car for transformation for Posner, the voice behind “I Took a Tablet in Ibiza,” the hauntingly self-aware anthem that turned a cultural touchstone. However his ties to the style prolong far past that singular hit.
He shared a creative connection with Avicii, one other artist whose contributions to EDM incessantly crossed between euphoria and introspection. With “Beneath It All,” Posner continues that legacy, merging his reflective songwriting with the grand, cinematic imaginative and prescient of Swedish Home Mafia’s Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello.
