    Mika at Peugeot Private Concert in Paris - 3 December 2012

    Ask him what? How he feels that the one that takes care of his career doesn't give a damn about it OR how he feels that SOME OF HIS FANS THINK that the one that takes care of his career doesn't give a damn about it?

     

     

     

    And then what?

     

     

     

    Personally I don't think that the way Mika or someone else is taking care of his career is any of our business and it's not up to us to decide for him that his career is not going well and that we need to help him. It seems to me that he's doing a lot of things next to his main career (which is selling albums) and he seems to be happy with it. Didn't I read somewhere that he had to give up the Futuroscope project because he was too busy? So in my opinion the only thing we can do for Mika is to buy his albums, attend his gigs, promote him among our friends and request radio stations to play his songs, but we have to leave Mika himself out of this whole discussion and we should not ask him anything about it. He would probably not answer those questions anyway.

     

    BTW ... I'm happy he did this gig ... it's the perfect way for people that do not know him yet to get to know him and to see how good he is: in a great venue accompanied by a professional choir behind a piano (even if it's an ugly piano :aah:)? Don't we all want to see that? :wub2:

    He gave up the Futuroscope project? Oh no.:aah:I've been looking forward to that.

    Mika discovers Origin of Love as he gets electronic for third album

    STV 19 October 2012 16:45 BST

     

    Mika takes on an electronic sound on his new album The Origin of Love – but he wanted to make sure his music didn't sound like typical European-flavored dance tunes.

     

    "There's this kind of electronic thing in there as well, but I didn't want the electronic influences on my record to be a kind of Euro dance thing with a huge beat that hits you over the head every 30 seconds," the singer explained. "I wasn't into that. I wanted it to sound kind of heartfelt and quite delicate."

     

    Mika's album, though, features well-known dance producers, like Klas Ahlund, best known for his work with Swedish singer Robyn. The album also includes production work by Benny Benassi and Nick Littlemore of Empire of the Sun.

     

    Mika calls his album's sound "joy chasing".

     

    He explained: "I was just trying to make music that would make me happy and if it can make me happy, then maybe it would make somebody else happy, too.

     

    "You know, music is a type of medicine. You make it for yourself and then sometimes other people catch on to it."

     

    Mika, who was born in Lebanon and then moved to Paris then to London, says his third album is his most personal-to-date.

     

    "The record is written in a way where it's kind of like a personal diary over the course of eight months," the singer said. "It's the story of a 28-year-old guy trying to figure out what kind of person he wants to be for the next 10 years and trying to figure out how to be happy for the next 10 years."

     

    The Origin of Love was released this week in the UK.
