Paul Smith’s latest advertising campaign for SS07 stars musician "Mika" who hit the number one spot yesterday in the UK chart with his single "Grace Kelly".

The campaign continues on the theme from AW06 focusing on individuality with around 20 'real' people being shot by photographer Julian Broad early last year. These include Mika and a member of the band, All American Rejects amongst others.

The adverts are due to be featured in GQ, Vogue, and Elle amongst other publications worldwide.

Congrats MIKA

good choice. I was hoping for Lollipop though.

I hope there will be two editions:

CD Only and CD+DVD Edition.

B-Sides pls.

Thanks for the info. much appreciated.

If this is a SuperAudioCD jewel case I will be very annoyed. I really hate these new CD cases - It's impossible to get the booklet out of the case without damaging it. MIKA, if you're reading this please pls change it.

Thanks.

He must be sick of doing interviews by now.

I'll try and get a recording of this for everyone, although it will prob be up no earlier than Monday i'm afraid

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

[quote name='Stephane']I think there latest album is brillant![/quote]

I ordered the album 2 months ago from amazon and it finally arrived yesteday! America has the slowest postal service in the world, I think a package sent from the deepest jungles of Papua New Guinea would arrives faster. The CD was also unplayable, so I now have to wait even longer for them to replace it. :sneaky2:

My latest CD purchases:
K 'Music In My Life'
Eri Nobuchika 'erinobuchika'

thanks for posting. interesting interview.

I haven't heard the song, but it possibly could be Mika.

Thanks. His first single is a number one hit. That's pretty impressive.

are they going to push forward the release date of the single and album?

they've got all the hype they need - there's really no reason to wait any longer.

For selfish reasons I don't want him to become as popular as Robbie Williams.

lol @ mika's last comment. Bring on the color!

that's really cool. congrats.

btw are you going to turn this to a "proper" site or will it remain forum based?

to name a few...

Incubus
Mika Nakashima
Hikaru Utada
Nelly Furtado
Eri Nobuchika
Ketsumeishi
Angela Aki
Marcelo D2
Erykah Badu
UVERworld
Robin Thicke
Beverley Knight

I hear the album will be enhanced...

The remixes I've heard so far have all sucked

Why do they all have to be DANCE mixes?

ofcourse.

I will probably also pick up the Japanese edition as it will most likely include bonus extras.

One of my favorite female singers is named Mika Nakashima

I also think it's a quite common name in eastern europe.

Well we know that 'Over My Shoulder' is a 'hidden' track on the album. 'Satellite' sounds interesting though

it is? how dissapointing - I was hoping it would be an unreleased track.

another one

(i'm not even sure it's him as he looks different in all the pictures i've seen of him)

BTW he's featured in this months issue of GQ.

american MTV? if yes, that's brilliant. I didn't think he had much chance of getting airplay over there.

do you have any plans of recording songs in other languages?

Found it one someone's blog a couple of days ago (can't remember the link)
