MANILA, Philippines - Ayala Malls, premier shopping destination and home to the best live entertainment, gets you ready to take-off on a musical flight with singer, songwriter and producer Mike Posner.
Since the release of his chart topping debut album 31 Minutes To Takeoff – an eclectic, lovingly-crafted collection of soulful tunes that showcase his innovative spirit and motivation to create something that sounds like nothing else out there. Critics have continued to praise Posner and the album, with Rolling Stone saying “Mike Posner is at the head of a new genre...” and praising its “...big, club-friendly synth hooks.” Entertainment Weekly called it “...sly, electro-pop...” and USA Today stated it is “...breezily infectious...”
Posner has traveled the world over with three smash singles, the multi-platinum breakout hit Cooler Than Me and his Top 10 follow up Please Don’t Go and Bow Chicka Wow Wow which featured Lil’ Wayne. He was nominated for an American Music Award for Breakthrough Artist and has performed on various sold-out concerts, TV shows and live concerts.
Fresh off the success of his first album, Posner will be debuting material on the tour from his highly anticipated forthcoming album titled The Layover as well as trying out new material he has been working on in the studio for his upcoming sophomore album, due out in early 2012.
Making the most of his raspy, soulful tenor, Posner relates stories about his life in his music, “The most important word in my life is ‘authenticity.’ If I lose that I’ve lost everything. I wanted my album to be the platform I could stand on to say something meaningful and introduce myself to the world.” He then adds, “The second I stop using what happens to me in my real life and start making things up in my songs, is the second I lose everything.”
Posner will have one more show at Alabang Town Center Corte De Las Palmas today.
