While Mika is in Los Angeles to record their fourth album, the Canadian newspaper La Presse interviewed the singer on his upcoming concert at La Maison Symphonique de Montreal as well as the famous new album which is as expected :
"While Mika has just entered the studio to record his next album , the OSM has officially announced that the singer will offer a concert at the Maison symphonique de Montreal in 2015 The English Lebanese does not hide his joy . " at the moment this is one of the most important things I 'm doing !
"It's been a year since we secretly organizes this stuff, says Mika . It's been so long that I want to tell everyone that I'm going to this concert, and finally I can say ! "
As part of its popular component , the Montreal Symphony Orchestra hit hard by inviting Mika . Although there has long dreamed , this is the first time that the singer, who has sold over ten million copies worldwide , agrees to work with an orchestra : "I always said no, because ' I was invited to do one or two songs . I wanted to have consistency in the directory. A kind of concert where you can see the evolution , coherence between songs. "
On 10 and 11 February 2015 , Montrealers will have the pleasure of hearing a dozen songs from the artist 30 years: "Mixing electronics with symphonic , classical . Mix of tribal rhythms with traditional rhythms. It is a dream ! "
Mika is in Los Angeles to create his fourth album. He transformed the Hollywood home of a " known actor of all" in the recording studio . "He hired me because he knew it was me ," Mika said , humbly . In the lease , he signed it would not disclose the name of the owner "very, very experienced ."
"It's great because for the first time , I created a studio in the whole house. It has become sort of the workshop album. It's very funny , because I 'm really trying to live with the album and the songs . "
The singer- songwriter has just started working on this album that contains songs in English and French . There will be very few collaborations.
The themes that are dear to him , such as respect, openness to others and the differences will be in the heart of this album. "I do not know why, but that's what comes out ," says one who was bullied in his youth.
The coach of The Voice in France took a break from the recordings of episodes of television program for a jump in California.
When he arrived at the home of the Hollywood actor, he still had no song starts: "I was responsible to the TV, so I arrived and I had nothing ," said there .
Since then, everything tumbles and ideas come from all sides . Mika believes that it is this particular environment ( work from home ) which facilitates creation.
" I think we should really make albums like that. Because otherwise , we will in large studios , you pay a fortune and all we use is a laptop and a piano. I do not want to work that way. "
After three albums, Mika knows exactly the kind of pop music that interested him, including his songs in the language of Brel : "I found my leg , how I want to sing in French . I realized that there is a way of being very funny with a production that is more American and speaks very serious subjects. For me, this is the magic combination . "
He cites his success She told me as an example of this formula "very funny and very deep ."
So fans are likely not to be disoriented hearing his next songs: "I 'm doing something very, very pop , but also organic and a little naive. These are my roots. That's how I made the first album and it's still like that in the fourth . "
The international star has a special relationship with Quebec and is regularly present its shows, participate in shows like Everybody speaks and Star Academy , and even wrote some of his latest work , The Origin of Love , to Montreal .
"I 'm obsessed with Quebec ( laughs)! I'm obsessed with this creative stuff that is in your corner of the world .
" Quite honestly , since I finished school , I'm obsessed with Robert Lepage , his works and how he expresses his stories. This is my hero on stage. I even travel to other countries to see productions Lepage, because it changes every time. It's organic, it's creative, it's unbelievable. "
As Quebec designer Mika wants to create shows, "maybe musicals ", which will evolve over time .
"Later in life, I would like to have art living a life, not something traditional that does not change . "
