hahninator Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 You might have noticed Mike posting images on Instagram of a line. While we doubt this is a deluxe fan edition of "A Line in the Sand" or a remix competition for "Across the Line" (ha), we do think he is gearing up for something. This could be hinting at a song release coming very shortly, as he also teased the Post Traumatic EP right before its release. He recently revealed that he is working on a solo album - could this be the first single? We should find out this week - stay tuned. 3/27 EDIT: Mike has posted a brand new teaser, saying a song is coming on Thursday, March 29th.

Justin Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) This is great news! Not gonna lie, when I saw that Mike said it would be a while before anyone else heard the song, I thought it would take way longer than this. Lol. Glad I was wrong!

Geki Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thursday should be good. I liked the Post Traumatic EP songs. When Mike said we wouldn't be hearing the song soon, I thought he meant a good while, like Summer time. I like how he just is taking it gradually and releasing stuff to us when he feels comfortable. No pressure that way really. Check out my thread about Mike's solo shows (anyone who is interested in Mike playing live) http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=13194&do=findComment&comment=284781 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 God the song sounds cringey as fuck. I will support Mike but God I hate that kind of music. But that's all I'm gonna say on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Not sure on the genre of this one, sounds really poppy. We will see. Post Traumatic EP is super dark, I love that. It can't all be hella dark though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't all be hella dark though. I guess that Mike is like LP - Cannot be defined by a genre. Maybe more hip-hop driven but he has shown us how different he can sound.

Geki Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Not sure on the genre of this one, sounds really poppy. We will see. Post Traumatic EP is super dark, I love that. It can't all be hella dark though. The reason that I hated OML at first was because it was super poppy. But not all of the songs were bad on the album after listening through it many times. I still hate songs like Heavy but that's mostly just for that Kiiara feature. Chester should have sang that song in it's entirety on the album, and I think that even more now that he passed away. But yeah, super poppy sounding. In general, I hate the kind of music that sounds like that. I'll admit it. I'm not going to act like I like it just because it's Mike. I'll still support him. Post Traumatic was dark. Over Again and Watching As I Fall are great songs. Place To Start is a little poppy and short to me. But it's not a bad song. I kind of expected Mike to go a super pop route on his solo stuff because I know he was trying to make Linkin Park into that a few years ago and he primarily listens to pop like that. It's fine, it's his music, he can do whatever with it. I'm sure a lot of people will like it, especially the younger generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSoul Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Super excited for this one. Sounds great to me. All we have is a vocal and a partial instrumental (I'm assuming, at least) and I'm still digging it. Excited to hear the full thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid1988 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The song is much more light and poppy than anything off post traumatic. But as you can see from the lyrics so far, its still very personal. I think the song is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddWilliamson Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) I'm actually very into the sound on this one. Bring on 3AM tomorrow NZ Time Edited March 28, 2018 by ToddWilliamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazzy Chazz Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I dig it. I only see it go al way through a poppier sound if the snippet is a part of the main chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
