The opening moments of “Underneath 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 exciting thing is it’s only the beginning.”
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 at all times been a automobile for transformation for Posner, the voice behind “I Took a Pill in Ibiza,” the hauntingly self-aware anthem that grew to become a cultural touchstone. However his ties to the style prolong far past that singular hit.
He shared a artistic reference to Avicii, one other artist whose contributions to EDM continuously crossed between euphoria and introspection. With “Underneath 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.
