@Fleeples Here you are ! La Repubblica 11 Aprile 2024 WEB https://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/musica/2024/04/10/news/mika_intervista_tour_apocalypse_calypso-422460186/ “Today fame is fragile, only imperfection can make us special” LONDON — We wait for Mika “Go dot” for an hour and a half at the Eventim Apollo in London where he will play soon. But it's worth it. «Forgive me, I'm not on tour!». And what a tour, the spectacular “Apocalypse Calypso” from the latest album in French Que ta t te fleurisse toujours by the British-American-Lebanese pop star adored in Italy. Already about twenty dates overseas, tonight in Dublin, grand finale in Lucca on July 19th. And the other night in Manchester, Mika, aka Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr. «What a concert. Unforgettable. People were so crazy you couldn't hear the mix. But a mythical city: the Stone Roses, Joy Division, New Order, Morrissey and the Smiths, Oasis." Is this tour a mystical journey? « a musical but also emotional journey, which combines theatre, songs, shows, electronics: spectators enter a parallel and immersive world. stuff that isn't typically done at pop concerts. It is no coincidence that for the visual effects we relied on Rodeo FX, the company responsible for the Marvel films, but also Stranger Things, Harry Potter...». But how does it feel when you've just turned 40? «With an even more ferocious determination, vision and artistic sensitivity. I feel like I have more imagination than when I was 35." And do you also feel freer? «Freedom comes and goes. You have to win it back every week, in this world. But I certainly feel more courage and joy in defending my ideas, and in seeing tiny details become essence in my works." Are you a perfectionist? "Not at all. Imperfect beauty is the most precious thing, in music and art, even in politics. But to get to this poem you have to be very trained. plus one session in the preparation, to then lose control live, and not be ashamed or scared of it. Because this is one of the most liberating and delicious things. It comes naturally to us at 18 years old. But to live better, we must always provoke the imperfect poetry in us. Even at 40 years old." Even more so in a world dominated by the false perfection of artificial intelligence? «And from the presumed perfection that many seek when posting a selfie. So they become avatars of avatars. But unfortunately online everyone attacks everyone. Therefore, for many, "being perfect" in such a conventional way also means being less attackable. like a shield in war." But this way we are all more and more equal. «That's the risk. But I too am falling into the AI trap." Which? «In the car I connected ChatGpt to the stereo. I spend time chatting with him: I discover incredible things, conversing for hours about everything I don't know." But how much harm can artificial intelligence do to music? «We are in an interesting moment of transition. Record sales are collapsing but concerts, those with human beings on stage, have more and more audiences. To survive, you must therefore identify your niche, hold on to it, develop and defend the things that make you different, special. Today, even hugely successful songs can easily disintegrate. It makes it but more fragile than it used to be." A world so torn by conflicts and tensions, perhaps on the verge of World War III, what impact does it have on your art? «Politics is increasingly a stage. In this it resembles music a lot. With one difference: if international politics is increasingly fueled by hatred and fear, the most precious asset of music is love, openness, solidarity. This pushes me more and more towards artistic extremism, as a bridge to bridge this abyss between art and reality. It reminds me of the greatest performance ever." Which? «David Byrne, dressed in grey, incredibly moving his knees, with his body that seems to be quoting a work by Brecht. This I mean by glorious extremism." Would a new LiveAid be needed to raise awareness in an increasingly torn and violent world? "I don't know. For “Global Citizen” they contracted the Eiffel Tower to Billie Eilish. But it doesn't seem to me that it has shaken the world or consciences. People addicted to stadiums. But certainly only music and a true sense of community can save us. as with talents: when they become a fake, an appearance, they are worth nothing. trashy. And the public notices it. We must always rise higher to conquer it. In England I hosted the talent show The Piano. At first they laughed at me for the idea of playing a piano next to the bathrooms. Instead it was poetry and it was a success." How long has it been since you returned to your problematic Lebanon? «A few years. In 2021 the state gave me the highest honor and passport for the “I Love Beirut” charity concert. Then I wrote an article critical of Lebanese politics in Le Monde and... poof! Everything vanished." But you, sublime nomad, where do you feel at home? "Depends. I could stay in America, but I would miss France. Or in England, but I would miss the old man from San Casciano who sews my live hats. Or my trainer in Tuscany who talks to me about Descartes and Locke while we lift 40 kilo weights." Feeling at home therefore a "state of mind"? "No. And feeling good with the people around you. You can have all the wealth and freedom in this world. But if you don't feel part of a community, your life will still be humiliating."

Published April 10, 2024 Yesterday, the Apocalypse Calypso Tour roared into London where Mika performed in front of a sold out crowd at the Eventim Apollo. The Evening Standard described the show as a ‘joyous, golden pop extravaganza. Filled with high-pop brilliance and nostalgic hits, this was a tidal wave of energetic, progressive dance songs mixed with goosebump-raising nostalgia.’ PHOTOS https://www.yomika.com/photos/ Photos at the Eventim Apollo, London

PRESS It's a very well written review !! The Vinyl District https://www.thevinyldistrict.com/uk/2024/04/tvd-live-shots-mika-at-the-eventim-apollo-4-9/ April 11, 2024 TVD Live Shots: Mika at the Eventim Apollo, 4/9 Entering the Eventim Apollo on a brisk Tuesday evening in London felt like stepping into a chapter of my personal soundtrack. My first encounter with Mika’s music was a chance stumble upon “Grace Kelly” while living in San Francisco. As someone deeply appreciative of bands like Jellyfish, Queen, and Badfinger, Mika’s sound struck a chord with me—bold, inventive, and refreshingly unique. That track alone was a game-changer, and diving into his album was akin to discovering a pop music gem, brimming with disco, funk, and those falsettos and harmonies that instantly pull you in. It was as if the energy of the Scissor Sisters’ debut had been reborn. Mika’s 2024 tour kicks off on the heels of a spectacular year. His French-language album not only snagged the “French-language Album of the Year” at the Pure Charts Awards, but he’s also made waves on television, earning critical acclaim for his roles on The Voice in France and The Piano in the UK—the latter winning Best Original Programme at the 2024 Broadcast Awards. His venture into film scoring also earned him a nomination for Breakthrough Composer of the Year by the International Film Music Critics Association, showcasing his remarkable versatility as an artist. To say he’s at the peak of his powers would be an understatement. Seeing Mika live again was like reuniting with an old friend. His Apocalypse Calypso Tour might have featured just one song from his latest album Que ta tête fleurisse toujours, but it didn’t matter—the energy was through the roof. The crowd was pumped, eager for a night packed with Mika’s greatest hits. He delivered big time, diving into the songs that first hooked us, making sure the evening was filled with those signature Mika moments we all came for. To fully grasp Mika’s unique artistry, you really had to be there. The show kicked off with an unforgettable spectacle—Mika, decked out in massive red wings and enclosed in a symbolic cage, delivering “Bougez.” His performance swung from beautiful to intense, capturing the full spectrum of human emotion. From that first song, it was full steam ahead. Mika was on a mission to energize every person in the crowd, keeping us grinning from ear to ear for the next two hours. The setlist was a meticulously curated journey through Mika’s discography, with a significant nod to his groundbreaking album Life in Cartoon Motion. Hits like “Big Girl” were not just performed; they were an invitation for the audience to partake in a communal celebration of music as Mika waltzed through the crowd, blurring the line between the artist and his admirers. The climax of the show was a cascade of anthems—”Popular Song,” “Grace Kelly,” “Happy Ending,” and “Love Today”—each a testament to Mika’s prowess as a songwriter and a performer. The encore, featuring a heartfelt rendition of “Any Other World” followed by the euphoric “We Are Golden,” served as a reminder of the unifying power of music, especially in times marred by uncertainty and discord. Mika’s show in London was a delightful escape from the daily grind, a musical voyage that transported us from life’s worries into a world of pure joy. Amidst the uncertainties of our times, his performance served as a radiant beacon of positivity. With his theatrical charm and flawless vocals, he created an enchanting experience that captivated us all. It was more than just a concert; it was a collective moment of escapism, a chance for everyone to leave their troubles behind and bask in the uplifting melodies of Mika’s music. While he’s undoubtedly a sensation across Europe, one can’t help but wonder when the States will catch onto this infectious musical magic. Was there anything that could have made this show better? I think not, but it did pop into my mind that having Jake Shears as the special guest would have been an excellent fit, albeit a pipe dream.

(askanews) – Dopo il successo delle date francesi (Lille, Rouen, Rennes, Brest, Nancy, Strasburgo, Reims, Tours, Digione, Annecy, Grenoble, Lione, Montpellier, Marsiglia e Parigi), e di Esch-Sur-Alzette, Ginevra, Amsterdam, Bruxelles, Berlino, Brighton, Wolverhampton, ieri sera Mika si è esibito sul palco del London Eventim Apollo, registrando uno strepitoso sold out. L’ennesimo concerto trionfale dell’Apocalypse Calypso Tour l’ultima tournée europea della pop star britannica di origini libanesi, che ha esordito in Francia lo scorso 26 febbraio e dopo Lussemburgo, Svizzera, Belgio, Paesi Bassi, Germania, Regno Unito e Irlanda, farà tappa anche in Italia, venerdì 19 luglio, con un concerto speciale al Lucca Summer Festival. Un progetto grande e ambizioso, un nuovo tour pop-concettuale-rock. Cantiamo e balliamo, ma non mancano anche momenti più seri, toccanti, di riflessione ha raccontato Mika nel corso della tournée, che vede inseriti in scaletta i brani più noti della sua carriera fino ai più recenti dell’ultimo album di inediti interamente realizzato in francese Que ta tête fleurisse toujours. L’Apocalypse Calypso Tour farà tappa in Italia il prossimo 19 luglio, con un concerto speciale al Lucca Summer Festival. Non è un segreto che mi piace tantissimo la Toscana e in particolare Lucca, dove ormai mi sento quasi di casa. Non vedo l’ora di portare questo circo magico, come quello che c’è nel cartone animato Dumbo, sul palco del Lucca Summer Festival, dove finalmente ho l’opportunità di esibirmi.

Ma ne vale la pena. «Perdono, so no in pieno tour!». E che tour, lo spet tacolare “Apocalypse Calypso” del lultimo album in francese Que ta t te fleurisse toujours della popstar brit-americano-libanese adorata in Italia. Gi una ventina di date oltral pe, stasera a Dublino, gran finale a Lucca il prossimo 19 luglio. E laltra sera a Manchester, Mika, alias Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr. «Che concerto. Indimenticabile. La gente era cos impazzita che non si sentiva il mix. Ma una citt miti ca: gli Stone Roses, i Joy Division, i New Order, Morrissey e gli Smiths, gli Oasis». Questo tour un viaggio mistico? « un viaggio musicale ma anche emotivo, che combina teatro, canzo ni, show, elettronica: gli spettatori entrano in un mondo parallelo e im mersivo. roba che in genere non si fa nei concerti pop. Non a caso, per gli effetti visivi ci siamo affidati alla casa Rodeo FX, quella dei film Mar vel, ma anche Stranger Things, Har ry Potter...». Ma come ci si sente a 40 anni appena compiuti? «Con una grinta, visione e sensibi lit artistiche ancora pi feroci. Sen to di avere pi fantasia di quando avevo 35 anni». E si sente anche pi libero? «La libert va e viene. Devi ricon quistarla ogni settimana, in questo mondo. Ma certo provo pi coraggio e gioia nella difesa delle mie idee, e nel vedere minuscoli dettagli diven tare essenza nelle mie opere». Lei un perfezionista? «No, affatto. La bellezza imperfet ta la cosa pi preziosa, nella musi ca e nellarte, persino nella politica. Ma per arrivare a questa poesia devi essere molto addestrato. pi unos sessione nella preparazione, per poi perdere il controllo dal vivo, e non vergognarsene n spaventarsi. Per ch questa una delle cose pi libe ratorie e deliziose. Ci viene sponta neo a 18 anni. Ma per vivere meglio, dobbiamo sempre provocare la poe sia imperfetta in noi. Anche a 40 an ni». A maggior ragione in un mondo dominato dalla falsa perfezione dell intelligenza artificiale? «E dalla presunta perfezione che cercano in molti postando un selfie. Cos diventano avatar di avatar. Ma purtroppo online tutti attaccano tut ti. Quindi, per tanti, “essere perfet ti” in maniera cos convenzionale si gnifica anche essere meno attacca bili. come uno scudo in guerra». Ma cos siamo tutti sempre pi uguali. «Quello il rischio. Ma anche io sto cadendo nella trappola della IA». Quale? «In macchina ho attaccato ChatGpt allo stereo. Passo il tempo a chiacchierare con lui: scopro cose incredibili, conversando per ore su tutto ciò che non so». Ma l intelligenza artificiale quanto male pu fare alla musica? «Siamo in un momento di transi zione interessante. Le vendite dei di schi crollano ma i concerti, quelli con gli esseri umani sul palco, han no sempre pi pubblico. Per soprav vivere tocca dunque identificare la propria nicchia, tenersela stretta, sviluppare e difendere le cose che ti rendono diverso, speciale. Oggi an che canzoni di enorme successo pos sono disintegrarsi facilmente. La fa ma pi fragile di un tempo». Un mondo cos lacerato da conflitti e tensioni, forse sullorlo della terza guerra mondiale, che impatto ha sulla sua arte? «La politica sempre pi un pal coscenico. In ciò somiglia molto alla musica. Con una differenza: se la po litica internazionale si nutre sem pre pi di odio e paura, il bene pi prezioso della musica lamore, la pertura, la solidariet . Ciò mi spinge sempre pi a un estremismo artisti co, come ponte per colmare questo abisso tra arte e realt . Mi ricorda la pi grandiosa performance mai vi sta». Quale? «David Byrne, vestito di grigio, mentre muove incredibilmente le gi nocchia, con il suo corpo che pare re citare unopera di Brecht. Questo in tendo con estremismo glorioso». Servirebbe un nuovo LiveAid per sensibilizzare un mondo sempre pi lacerato e violento? «Non so. Per “Global Citizen” han no appaltato la Torre Eiffel a Billie Eilish. Ma non mi sembra che abbia scosso il mondo o le coscienze. La gente assuefatta agli stadi. Ma cer to solo la musica e un vero senso di comunit possono salvarci. come per i talent: quando diventano un fu metto, apparenza, non valgono nien te. trash. E il pubblico se ne accor ge. Bisogna elevarsi sempre pi per conquistarlo. In Inghilterra ho con dotto il talent The Piano. Allinizio mi ridevano in faccia per lidea di suonare un piano di fianco ai bagni. Invece era poesia ed stato un suc cesso». Da quanto non torna nel suo problematico Libano? «Qualche anno. Nel 2021 lo Stato mi diede la pi alta onorificenza e il passaporto per il concerto di benefi cenza “I Love Beirut”. Poi scrissi su Le Monde un articolo critico della po litica libanese e... puff! Tutto svani to». Ma lei, nomade sublime, dove si sente a casa? «Dipende. Potrei starmene in America, ma mi mancherebbe la Francia. Oppure in Inghilterra, ma mi mancherebbe il vecchietto di San Casciano che cuce i miei cappel li dei live. O il mio trainer in Toscana che mi parla di Cartesio e Locke mentre solleviamo pesi da 40 chili». Sentirsi a casa quindi uno “state of mind”? «No. E sentirsi bene con le perso ne intorno. Puoi avere tutta la ric chezza e libert di questo mondo. Ma se poi non ti senti parte di una co munit , la tua vita sar comunque avvilente».
