Top of the World is the first leak off Mikey Pauker’s “Extraordinary Love” LP which will be released via Shemspeed Records on October 1, 2013.
The album is a seamless blend of folk, electronica, pop, hip-hop, and reggae, weaved together by Pauker’s divine experiences with ancient texts that pulse through the artist’s veins and enter listeners’ hearts. Pauker’s beautiful melodies and unique lyrics convey his desire to connect people with their inner light. This is a folk album that pop culture fiends will love. With hip hop producer Diwon (Y-Love, Bonhom) manning the wheels, the song rhythms and soundscapes layer electronic beats on a foundation of acoustic folk. The album brings together elements of Bon Iver, the XX, Trevor Hall, The Civil Wars & Imagine Dragons creating a fusion that’s both bumping and exalting.
“Top Of The World,” is a perfect blend of electronic and folk produced by Diwon, that will leave you wanting more. Check out the all new www.mikeypauker.com and click here to download the single.
