Mike Posner "31 Minutes to Takeoff"

Someone I work with has been asking for this review for awhile. He likes Mike Posner's back story of how he was recording demos in his dorm room and got signed to a major label and then just blew up.

By now everyone should have heard his worldwide hit "Cooler Than Me". Lyrically, the rest of the album is quite similar to this track. It almost acts as a diary of his college experiences. Musically, the record covers a variety of sounds and influences. However -- amazingly -- at no point does it seem like it is covering new ground.

Must hear: Cooler Than Me
