I have "gotten" the album. I LOVE THIS ALBUM. And Thank you for telling me about it. Mika is one of the freshest things I have heard in a very long time. His music gives me hope that good music is still out there and being made.

I hope the next release is Relax, Take it Easy.

camp wtf

Relax, take it easy shoud have been the next single. The video is some bits really reminds me of prince in his Kiss video.

I'm trying to like this guy, but I really can't hear anything but a BeeGees/Elton John/Queen tribute that Scissor Sisters do much better. It's something about the chord changes, they're just kinda...eh.

Yep he's all of those rolled into one. But it doesn't seem that tributish. I think it's just him. Love Today is a good song, but not my favorite off the album.

Grace Kelly
My Interpretation
Relax...Take it easy
Any Other World
Big Girls

then how can you say he's the freshest thing you've heard since a long time????? I mean.....Freddie's been dead a long time now and so is one of the Gibb-brothers.....


Mika's really nothing new.....

Nice Package!

I think you anwsered your own befuddlement. The POINT is they have been gone for a very long time. Hence, I haven't heard anything this fresh in a LONG time. I mean he has influences...but they are influences. It's not like he's recreating either band's music.

You guys should check the studio outtakes that leaked. Simply sublime...

I'm amazed at what people like these days. This guy is a zero out of 10.

It's 100 times better than the shit that is American Hip-Hop...

I already said this guy is gonna be the next big thing.
I read a review today saying he's influenced by Prince but also
sounds like Freddie,and like Elton John in his ballads...
a strange mix if U ask me.

I'm looking 4ward hearing more of him.

I think we need 3 more albums before we claim he's the next big thing. But I do like what I hear a lot. To me he sounds original. And certainly better than what we got here on the radio. He writes and produces his stuff, so there is that. Personally, I think it sounds better than what Prince has done over the last few years.

I don't think he should be slagged for sounding like anyone. If it sounds good, and there is originality to his music and integrity, then it's all good. I mean you can almost point to anyone still making music these days and say they have this or that influence...including our purple guy. He seems to play live well. You can tell he's got the chops. And he APPRECIATES the attention he's getting in a good way.

Totally agree!
Finally someone who says what I've been thinking 4 a long time!
Lately I hear so many critsize new artists because they sound like
this or that artist...I've been a music fan for 3 decades so
it's normal I hear influences and sounds I've heard before.

I really like Grace Kelly, I am not sure about the other songs I have heard so far . Well time will tell .

Terrible choice as second single. It should have been Big Girls.

I think it was...or is gonna be. I have a few different mixes sent to me in my DJ compilations.

I like the video but the song sounds like a Target commercial IMO.
