suzie Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Finally! This album was supposed to be released in February. I almost forgot about it. Thank you, Allegra, for reminding us. I think it is a great opportunity for Mika to gain a new audience for his music. PS release date is May 24th on the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the cd is already avalaible to buy in their website. The 1 June date is for the worldwide launch. It seems a lovely album (for sure better than Kick ass album, in my opinion... just to compare with another album with only one M song). I'm sad KS are changing The Bass. He is a very very gentle and funny man. I wish him a long career alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 This is brilliant! I've been thinking about this and wondering when it would be out! This should get Mika really respected as a composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not falsetto virtuosity, not ability as a performer, not love by fans, not fashion jackets, not friendship with vips can be compared to the respect, as a composer, from others great musicians.

allegra Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 King's Singers are touring in Italy. At almost the end of an amazing concert in a little church the Tenour introduced: "Now a song from our new album wich is called "Swimming over London" and the song is from the anglo/lebanese singer/songwriter Mika..." - a pause... few seconds of silence ... then I started to applaud and then the whole audience applauded - "and it is Called By The Time". So I was honored to hear the song live for the second time. The first time it was sung with Mika, this time without him but equally enjoyable. These perfect singers told me they are singing a lot the song in this tour. I'm very proud of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allegra Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Another italian concert, another magic interpretation of By the Time (and not only, since the entire KS concert is magic). And during the introduction they added somethign more: "Now a song from the anglo/lebanese singer/songwriter/rockstar Mika. This song is from our brand new album 'Swimming over London' and it is a wonderful arrangement wich we had the privilege to perform with Mika himself just about one year ago. By The Time". Yes, i'm quite repetitive... anyway i'm always surprised that theese excellent singers (the best a capella ensemble of the world) are so humble to praise a popstar so young. I'm not everyday so proud to be a fanatical fan in general, anyway i'm absolutely proud to have attended the Little Noise Concert with Mika and King's Singers togheter.

allegra Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 From a blog of the new Bass: "Chris (the Baritone) used the word 'poptastisch' when announcing By The Time in our close-harmony set (probably in Germany) last night. I almost died.... :)" What does it mean poptastisch? Does Mika know that his song is poptastisch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we know Mika's music is fantastic pop anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Clay Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) "Their stunningly high musical standards have earned them a place at the apex of a cappella singing, and they are counted among the world’s elite classical performers. With more than a hundred concerts each year, they continue a sterling forty-year tradition of enchanting audiences around the world with their unique charm, wit, and incomparable musicianship. As the London Times puts it, The King’s Singers are “still unmatched for their musicality and sheer ability to entertain.” Starting a tour in the USA NOW!
