In a new interview with Billboard, singer Mike Posner helped answer the question of “what happened to Mike Posner’s sophomore album?” For the past few years fans have awaited and anticipated Mike Posner’s sophomore efforts. First came talks of Mike’s sophomore album Sky High, then momentum shifted towards the release of Pages, another sophomore album from the ‘Cooler Than Me’ singer. “I could probably put out Sky High and Pages, but that music is no longer current to me”, Mike told Billboard. “It’s no longer true to me.
