Album review OndaRock http://www.ondarock.it/recensioni/2015_mika_noplaceinheaven.htm No Place In HeavenProbabilmente c’è chi non ce la fa più a ritrovarsi il faccino sorridente di Mika un po’ dovunque da un paio d’anni a questa parte, lasciandosi influenzare anche da quella che è stata ed è tuttora la sua esperienza come giudice di X-Factor Italia, ma non è questa la sede per parlare di talent show e simpatie personali. Qui si parlerà solamente del suo ultimo album, “No Place In Heaven”, a partire dalla copertina coloratissima, com’è l’indole di Mika, e dai richiami vagamente futuristici di scritte e strutture architettoniche alle sue spalle. La ricetta musicale è la solita che ha fatto la fortuna del cantautore anglo-libanese: pop scanzonato, allegro e vivace, con la differenza che in "No Place In Heaven" ritroviamo un Mika più smaliziato e, soprattutto, più intimista rispetto al passato, che pare accoglierci confidenzialmente nella sua vita, facendoci passeggiare tra ricordi più o meno dolorosi, miraggi di felicità e messaggi di speranza. Entriamo così, con passo leggero, nel salotto ordinato di un ipotetico Mika mai esistito, se non negli auspici della madre: tappeto persiano, una bella moglie e lavoro rispettabile da giacca e cravatta (“All She Wants”). L’atmosfera ruvida delle parole (“All she wants... is another son”) viene però smorzata dal ritmo goliardico del brano e dai coretti sixties, e l’insieme più di una volta riporta alla mente Rufus Wainwright. In effetti i cori hanno ruolo preponderante in tutto il lavoro: si fanno corposi e robusti, ma anche ironici, in “Oh Girl You’re The Devil” e nell’ottima “Promiseland”, si vestono da musical in “Rio”, accompagnano senza sopraffare nella title track, e sono, infine, femminei e cristallini in “Good Guys”, probabilmente il pezzo dell’album che funziona meglio e rimane più impresso, grazie al disarmante candore che gli appartiene. Partendo da un aforisma di Oscar Wilde (“Siamo tutti immersi nel fango... ma alcuni guardano le stelle”), si giunge a un delicato ringraziamento agli eroi della sua infanzia, quando il piccolo Michael sperava di poter avere, un giorno, la loro stessa audacia che aveva fatto luccicare i suoi occhi di bambino. È grazie a un lavoro di chiaroscuri che emerge la silhouette di questo lavoro: perciò, oltre a canzoni più colorate ed eccentriche, si fanno spazio anche ballate talvolta appena accennate, che sembrano nascere nel momento stesso in cui le si ascolta, dal cuore di un pianoforte e timidi pensieri (“Hurts”, “Porcelain” e le emozionanti “Last Party” e “Ordinary Man”, quest’ultima vagamente eltonjohniana). Si capisce, dunque, quanto “No Place In Heaven” sia un lavoro permeato da un senso di vulnerabilità ma al contempo di libertà, ossia quel binomio di sensazioni che si provano nel momento in cui ci si riesce ad aprire ed esprimersi in maniera totale. E qui Mika riesce a esprimersi eccome, cesellando quindici brani certamente pop e immediati ma anche ricercati, sia per ciò che concerne l’aspetto musicale, e in modo particolare gli arrangiamenti, sia per ciò che concerne i testi. E non ci fa mancare proprio niente: neanche una perfetta hit estiva, “Staring At The Sun”, e un paio di deliziosi episodi in francese, con “L’amour Fait Ce Qu’il Veut”, in cui si pone con allure da vero chansonnier pop, e “Boum Boum Boum”, contenuta solo nella versione francese di “No Place In Heaven”; qui il ritmo si fa più serrato e trascinante, avvicinandosi pericolosamente e a Stromae e a sonorità latine. “No Place In Heaven” sfiora l’ascoltatore, lo trascina in una maestosa danza di luci, colori e vanesia leggiadria, ma gli impone anche imprescindibili, per quanto semplici, riflessioni dentro sé. L'album pop dell'estate è proprio lui. (28/07/2015)

DAVID ATLANTA Album Review: MIKA’s No Place In Heaven http://davidatlanta.com/2015/07/album-review-mikas-no-place-in-heaven/ MIKA is back again with another round of whimsical, story telling in his latest album No Place In Heaven. The fourth studio album by the colorful Brit is probably his most open and revealing album to date. From the album’s opening track (and first single) “Last Party” to the album’s finale “Good Guys, Night Time Mix”, the theme throughout the entire album is a bittersweet joy that’ll make you get the feels. MIKA has a style and way about his music that will take you all over the place… which can be a good thing but only if it is in small doses. One track might make you feel like you’re at Woodstock, while other tracks might have you feel that you are in an underground, disco club. Disappointing to many original MIKA fans, the majority of the album’s songs feel a bit Debby Downer. However, if MIKA’s goal was to make an album that is a bit less Glam-Pop and more lyric driven then he definitely succeeded. Not that he ever was shy or hid the fact that he was gay, this album is definitely MIKA’s most revealing out of all his previous albums. It’s more mature. The album is laced with tracks yearning for love (“Good Wife”), finding it (“Talk About You”), partying (“Last Party”), acceptance (“All She Wants”), and the struggles of it all especially with being gay. Probably the most discussed song off the album is “Good Guys” which is an open ended question highlighting the lack of gay, male role models around today. I personally don’t get it. With a slew of amazingly talented artists, athletes, and entrepreneurs out there today, any young gay boy can have someone to look up to and be inspired by. Neil Patrick Harris, Ricky Martin, Lee Daniels, Stephen Fry, Ian McKellen, Tom Ford, Anderson Cooper, George Takei, Jason Collins, Gareth Thomas, Bryan Singer, and so many more have all proven that you can be gay AND be successful at what you do. MIKA is included in that list as well! I suppose that there can be more “good guys” out there and maybe that is what MIKA is asking in the song. Out of all of the songs on the album, “Good Guys” is probably the most beautifully written track and definitely the one you’ll play over and over. On another note, some of the songs on No Place In Heaven do sound very similar to some of MIKA’s past songs. “Oh Girl You’re The Devil” (even though it is probably the most fun song on the album) sounds like his “Popular Song”. Also, the chorus to the album’s title track “No Place In Heaven” sounds extremely similar to The Supremes’ “You Cant Hurry Love”. Another standout track off of the album is the bonus track “Promiseland” which does sound a bit like a knockoff Maroon 5 song but it’s sooooo good! All in all, No Place In Heaven is a definitely a great album – a tad melancholy but great nonetheless! It’s not as colorful as his past albums but, then again, MIKA is evolving as an artist so it is refreshing to see him try something new and succeed at it. Even though the album doesn’t have that standout runaway hit like “Grace Kelly” or “Love Today”, you’re guaranteed to enjoy this album just as much as you did his first three. Standout Tracks: “Promiseland” “Staring At the Sun” “Rio” WEB magazine

So while his latest album came out there just a few weeks, here he is already working on the next: "I have already started another album, I do not want to wait two or three years between each album" he has said. Finally, the one that made shocking statements about his father has found a new vocation, as he said: "I am writing a book," Diary of a Western optimistic 'It. talk about my frustration when I get in a supermarket, a large format, and that all I want is to buy something, I go out and about to spend 300 balls and I even found what I wanted ...

Esquire : Meet the tailor - Thom Sweeney http://www.esquire.co.uk/style/fashion/2709/meet-the-tailor-thom-sweeney/ That said if a client wants very structured shoulders, or to radically change the house silhouette, it can be done – when Thom Sweeney made stage clothes for Mika they went far beyond Savile Row norms.
