Mike Posner’s Walk Across America has begun

Leave a comment

Mike Posner‘s Walk Across America has begun this week on Monday April 15th and as just a longtime supporter of Posner’s career, we wish him the most strength – both physical and mental – to accomplish his walk from ocean to ocean. From the Atlantic Ocean in New Jersey, culminating in the Pacific Ocean in Venice Beach, Los Angeles sometime before Christmas, Posner hopes.

The CBS story above is a great 7-minute interview and summary of the Walk, Posner’s career and personal journey to this point, and how he’s hoping to learn how to be more present in the moment. That last part is a constant battle for all of us really and I, for one, am inspired on this sleepless night at posting time to work more consciously on this myself.

No doubt that Posner’s journey will test his limits, but like he’s conquered the many challenges he’s had to this point, I don’t doubt he will this one too. God speed and see ya in L.A. 🙌

Mike Posner’s album pre-release drop (that’s not on the album, but is also very good)

Leave a comment

To the longtime GWHH followers: you already know we’ve been supportive of Mike’s career since the jump, and this week, he’s hitting another milestone. Posner’s new album, A Real Good Kid, drops later this week.

While many have noted his stark physical appearance changes throughout his career, in the wake of the #10yearchallenge no less, Mike’s also had some fascinating evolution in his music. With “Noah’s Ark” and the recent video for “Move On”, Mike is as revealing, personal, and introspective as ever. You can’t help but appreciate it. And I also love how he wrote and just released this without holding onto it. Would love to see more artists drop music at a better balance like this (without all the pre-release preparation that could diminish the energy of releasing it at or close to the time of recording. I digress…) Listen above and below to catch up before A Real Good Kid.

(And oh damn. A 3.5 GPA at Duke?! Better than my 3.0 at Minnesota. 😂)

Mike Posner “Be As You Are”

Video

Mike Posner’s comeback is already a successful one as his new Truth EP features him at his most personal and vulnerable with a stripped down acoustic sound to perfectly match.

One of the standouts is “Be As You Are”, which inspires you to be yourself and rise through your struggles. Mike reflects on times he cried to his mother in the track. In the video, he takes things another level.

Posner and a diverse cast rip apart the stigmas society places on them “bum”, fat”, “whore”, “thug”, etc. and they powerfully rip off their own clothes (NSFW) and frolic into the ocean water. In fact, one by one this stirs up a pretty moving image and drives home the message of the song… to well, “Be As You Are”. Awesome video, Mike. It’s already inspiring.

Mike Posner ‘The Truth EP’ set for June 22

You may recall Mike Posner‘s acoustic performance of 3 new songs last month. Well, now he’s organized it all, with 1 more track, for the studio release of The Truth EP. From what I can tell via Stereoboard, there’s a release slated for June 22nd, which will hopefully have even more personal songs like that of these 4. The new one to me was “Be As You Are” which stems from a conversation with his mother and about just being yourself and not creating a front. I am really vibing with Posner’s authenticity, writing, and simplistic sounds behind him on all of these tracks. Listen to The Truth, at least as it stands now (for instance “Iris” isn’t on here), below:
