2012 - Audio: EQ Music Interview

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to sit down with Mika in the studio to talk about the recording process for his new album "The Origin Of Love".

During this exclusive EQ Music interview, the number one international hitmaker opens up about why he feels "The Origin Of Love" is truly his second album versus his last album "The Boy Who Knew Too Much". Mika also talks about working with Pharell on his new single "Celebrate" and what it's like to make adult pop music just for fun and he shares the story of how a writing session for "Gang Bang" by Madonna being turned into something completly different.

Mika is a great guy - it was the first time I've got to meet him and he is just as warm, welcoming and charming as you would expect him to be. After the inteview, he played the title track "The Origin Of Love" for me and it was outstandingly epic - a true pop masterpiece that you will fall in love with the first time you hear it - I promise that.

Look out for Mika's new album "The Origin Of Love" when it drops this fall and get a glimpse into the whole recording process by checking out our EQ Music interview below.

Thanks Vanessa and Bia!

Eu sei, mas vem a que proposito???

Você que entende bem inglês que nos diga

Thanks

 

It's me or the sound is really bad

I listened to it on vimeo and the quality was ok

Does anyone want me to write it out? But in english, because I can't do any other language...

But at least it will be easier for you to understand?

Thanks

 

It's me or the sound is really bad

I listened to it on vimeo and the quality was ok

Eu sei, mas vem a que proposito???

Você que entende bem inglês que nos diga

 

você ouviu a entrevista? ele diz essa palavra alguma hora na entrevista?

ele fala isso no final da entrevista

Thanks for the link.

I'm not sure why there is a discussion going on here in Portuguese. Can we please switch to English?

you're welcome peeps :wink2:

@Christine sorry for the discussion in Portuguese

Thank you so much!! It's really interesting, I really enjoy listening to him talking about the new songs and the album The audio was good for me.

Does anyone want me to write it out? But in english, because I can't do any other language...

 

But at least it will be easier for you to understand?

Please !!!!! I need it !!!

When I first loaded the video the volume was set really low so you might want to check to see that it's at full volume. I am having a bit of trouble discerning minor words like "you", "I" from one another because they are speaking so casually, but otherwise it's pretty clear.

Thanks for posting

But yeah, like Christine said, if you turn up the volume on both the Vimeo player and your computer there should be better audio.

Eloise are you working on a transcript? If not I can put something up later.

the sound was good for me also, i just had to turn up vimeo & computer volume (and tell monsieur guylaine to turn down his tv )
