But as a song on 2016’s At Night, Alone put it, things were “Not That Simple”: That album largely jettisoned synths in favor of acoustic guitars and piano, refashioning Posner as an old-school singer/songwriter. In 2009, he started with a pair of mixtapes that fused rap and funk with melodic hooks, while on 2010’s 31 Minutes to Takeoff, he fleshed out his sandpapery drawl with soul, electro-pop, and orchestral flourishes. It was a fitting twist, given that Posner, born in 1988, has always bridged musical universes. The Detroit singer/songwriter became an overnight sensation in 2015 when his song “I Took a Pill in Ibiza”-a bittersweet acoustic ballad about losing one’s way-got a wistful tropical-house remix from the Norwegian duo Seeb. Rarely has a night out launched a career quite like Mike Posner’s trip to the White Isle did.
