crazyaboutmika Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Translation: Q:Why did you chose Compiegne? I've done half my album and I wanted to do one show in France and Compiègne is a beautiful place, it wil be outdoors , not far from Paris and it's the first time they host a show like mine, so it will be special. Q: only one gig ? I've been touring a year and a half for TBWKTM which I finished in November in South America, in Brazil and now I'm into the world of my third album which is very different from the others. So I limited myself to a gig for each country although I would loved to go to many other places , like in the south but we'll have plenty of time (sweet smile) on the next tour For the first time, as I'm making my album in English, I'm also writing extra songs in French and I will sing them for the very first time in Compiègne Q:Tell us about your third album you're making? It will be strange both in French and English , the English songs music sound like Fleetwood Mac mixed with Empire of the Sun (who worked with me on half of the album) and Tron (Daft Punk) For the songs in French it will be a mix of trash, Polnareff and Supertramp with lyrics in French and music like in the seventies , it would sound very cool (sweet smile) Q :What will the album sound be like? It will be more electro and also organic...and easy going as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mari62 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Roxane, I forgot about these 2 articles, which haven't been translated Mika, le plus grand concert après Pink Floyd http://yfrog.com/z/kgzn00j COMPIEGNE Le coup de cœur de Mika pour le palais impérial http://www.courrier-picard.fr/courrier/Actualites/Info-locale/Compiegne-Noyon-Creil/Le-coup-de-caeur-de-Mika-pour-le-palais-imperial pls have a look and see if they're worth been translated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilStar Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Trnalsation from this one: COMPIEGNE Le coup de cœur de Mika pour le palais impérial http://www.courrier-picard.fr/courri...alais-imperial For his only show in France happening at the beggining of July, Mika tells us about his anticipated third record. Mika, real name Mica Penniman, born August 18 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon. After 8 years in Paris, he moves to London to continue his studies. At 19, he decides to quit school to start his artistic career. He sings at the Royal Opera House and writes jingles. He starts being known in 2006 via Myspace. His first single, Relax, take it easy is a real success: top position in Brittish charts due only to downloads. Followed my by the single Grace Kelly, his first album Life in cartoon motion is a success. It will be followed in september 2009 by The boy who knew too much. This pop icon chose Compiègne to try his new creations, July 9 at the Palais Impérial. Why a show in France? A show in France between the 2 albums makes me get out of the studio and test my songs in englush as well as 2 or 3 in French. We need a balance and not get away too much from the audience, being free. And why Compiègne and the palais impérial ? It's a special place. And its not far from Paris, 40 minutes. I wanted a festival, i wanted a feeling, a new look. The place is perfect for the "mood" of the new CD. A little bit like the Louvre. Are you already familiar with the place? Yes, a little bit. When i was a kid, we drove by it with my parents. Its a good occasion to come back to the town. You will sing new songs but also old ones? Yes, a few (smiles). Why so much secret about this new album? I think its the opposite, theres no secret. I wanted it to be more relaxed. Thats why i wanted to present this album during a show, while its not done like that usually. This CD is mostly about the origin of love. I also talk about tolerance. It's both sad and rythmix. But its not done yet. Its frustrating. What have been your main inspirations for this album? I dudbt want to talk about my childhood or my teenage years, but about religion and politics. Theres a song on the record where we forget about religion, forget about Adam and Eve, and reinvent love and talk about tolerance. Theres 12 love songs but all different. I wanted make the concept of a love song about desire, which is the most important thing. How is it different from the previous CDs? Theres more collaborations, even if i wrote most of the songs. With collaborations, theres more energy. They could help me. While i did the second CD alone, for this one i wanted to work with all the people i love in the world. When will it be released? 2012, but a few singles will be out before when they'll be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilStar Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 ok, i just lost the entire translation i did for the second article.. *kills my pc*:aah::aah::aah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilStar Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 COMPIEGNE Le coup de cœur de Mika pour le palais impérial http://yfrog.com/z/kgzn00j ok, again.. im not doing it all over again:roftl: it basically says that theres 15.000 to 20.000 people expected to play at the show. It will be the second one most attended paying show in the history of l'Oise, the french departement of Compiègne. First place goes to Pink Floyd in 1994 with 2 dates and 140.000 people... They say its the only date of his worldtour() and that hes very excited to be there and the stage set and costumes withh match the castle where he will play. Thats pretty much all it said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mari62 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thank youuuuu!!! Sorry for the second translation! Roxane, the link to the 2nd translation is wrong i think it is:15.000 to 20.000 people are expected to attend the show. or 'to play at' also means 'attend'?
