The Singles
On December 9, 2016, Posner and Musto released their debut single under the name Mansionz, titled “Stfu.” “Stfu” features rapper Spark Master Tape and has been described as a “slow R&B serenade”.
The duo’s second single, titled “Rich White Girls,” was released on February 3, 2017.
On March 17, “Dennis Rodman,” which featured the retired American professional basketball player of the same name, was released as the duo’s third and final single before the release of their self-titled debut album. “Dennis Rodman” samples Run-DMC’s “Here We Go (Live at the Funhouse)” and quickly became the most popular Mansionz single yet due to the Dennis Rodman feature.
On August 11, 2017, “Wicked” was announced to be the fourth single from Mansionz. A radio edit that replaced the lyric “she’s fucking wicked” with “that girl is wicked” was released that day, as well as a remix by American pop duo Loote, who had worked with Mike Posner before on a remix of his track “Silence.” On August 25, 2017 a second remix released by Norway based production team Rat City.
