This is not to be confused with their Teal Album released earlier this year which consisted of covers such as “Africa”, “Take On Me”, and other notable favorites.

But then I dug a little deeper beyond the “I Took A Pill In Ibiza” Mike Posner I was accustomed to. It seems as though something dire happened in his life and it drove him to produce this project.
