I think it´s difficult to say yet as we haven´t heard any song in the album version. To say the truth as much as I love The Last Party it won´t be successful as a Ballade. We need a dance song to get any interest in radio today. I could imagine Talk About You could be something in the right direction as it is a total earworm.

I agree that it's so difficult because we haven't heard anything in the album version. Talk About You sounds promising, but we haven't even heard the chorus yet! Choruses are important. So I don't know, really. Good Guys sounds powerful - like Happy Ending was, so could be a good single, but maybe not the first. Perhaps as the third single. If The Last Party becomes what I think it will become, a Mika upbeat happy-sounding song with sad/desperate lyrics, it could be a good first single

I got so happy when I saw that someone posted in this thread It's a great one, thanks for posting here! Do you happen to have it in full colour?

Apparently there is a new global agreement between record companies that from summer 2015 all new albums will be released on Fridays. This also means that albums will get the same release date worldwide - no waiting for a couple of weeks for the US release, for example. (I think they have finally realised that different release dates are futile in the days of the internet).

 

I know Mika's album is supposedly due in April, but he's never been very good at being on time

That's great! Good news! Thanks for posting!

Hey, but the album was originally due for 2014, so April 2015 is late already (still waiting until I hear the full release date from his own mouth though - 'still finishing the album' doesn't sound promising to me)

I'd love Good Guys to be the first single

It got stuck in my ears and heart at first earing

I agree, I'd love for it to be Good Guys! I don't know how the studio version of The Last Party will sound so I don't know about that. Although I feel like it might actually be an upbeat song. But I think the message of Good Guys is very good, and it sounds amazingly powerful.

Combined with a good music video and a lot of promotion - interviews, performances, radioplay, especially in the UK and, if it's done well, the USA. My country usually picks up what's charting in the UK and USA, those countries are huge influences and extremely important.

I hope so. I'm worried that they're not going to bother. But oh, I hope so.

A French fan made this video and it made my day

Thanks for sharing

I'm only now seeing this thread and yet I'm already in it

I guess we'll just have to wait until we hear the full version to see how those children make sense or if they don't and it's something completely else. Somehow Mika is difficult to understand when he's singing (or am I the only one with that problem?)

Edit: by the way I'm hearing "Just the beginning, but I'm not even scared" (instead of "It's"). It's a slight difference but I thought I'd put it here.

Thank you so much, it's a great video! Love to see him cooking at Garou's haha

Thank you, as always, but I was talking about mikawebsite.I can't watch the episodes videos there anymore.I don't know if it's only my problem or not.

I' ll check and I ll tell you....I have tried many times and I can't watch. All I can do is download. I will report the problem to the webmaster and I hope he can fix that for us. I'll let you know quickly.

I'm now waiting for his answer but please try to watch it here in the meantime http://www.mikafrance.com/news-1062-.html

It's strange because I have no problem watching the videos on mikawebsite at all. I watched the entire episode on there last Monday and I can still start the video. Just putting that out there so you know that not everyone has the same problem. Which only makes it more weird of course...

The snippet of Staring At The Sun is a bit extended! I love the last part of this snippet! Thanks for sharing

(Hi guys, in case you didn't see my post of the other thread)

Good news! I asked one of the musicians and he said they recorded the show and should make a cd!!

I am soooooo excited thanks for posting!!

Yes, that definitely belongs here

Oh no I don't want one of the title's song as the name of the album. You could think it's stupid but usually I don't like it ^^ I prefer a real title resuming all the songs by a inspired sentence, like the 2 firsts

Yes me too! Although I love the title "The Origin Of Love". I'm just always really curious to know the album title so I like speculating

I don't know, somehow I find the album title to be very important.

I agree that if it were to be a song title, Staring At The Sun would be nice. Or "No Ordinary Man" as a play on Ordinary Man.

He also talked in Siette about a song called All She Wants Is Another Son, about, he said, a mother forcing his son to marry his "trophee girlfriend" . There was even bits of the lyrics

 

All she wants is another son

all she wants is another simple solution

for my mother delusion.

Get some adorable pictures done

for her mother in Lebanon

Thank you! Now that you mentioned it, I vaguely recall having read about that here.. So we basically know the whole tracklist Only the title... I was thinking about that, do you guys think he'll name the album after a track, like TOOL, or come up with something totally different like the first two?

Thank you Manon, that's right. I wonder witch one will be the 1st single or then one we don't know yet. I am starting to be quite exited about the new album.

I wonder that too! I think Good Guys (full version obviously) could be quite good! And I'm really excited as well

I think Boum Boum Boum will be as a song in the deluxe version,like Elle Me Dit in 3rd album,I will all the songs in standard version are in English.....

Well, he's said in an interview that the album is in English, but with some tracks in French. Boum Boum Boum will be there. Unless he's changed his mind...

Here's the source:

At the gig with OSM last night, we got to know two new titles from tracks from the new album.

If I'm not mistaken, so far we know these titles:

Boum Boum Boum

Rio

Staring At The Sun

Good Guys

Talk About You

The Last Party

Ordinary Man

All She Wants Is Another Son

And he's said there's going to be 10, maybe 11 songs.

Is this all correct?

Thanks so much for the great reports! Even just reading those I get a lump in my throat. If I could've gone, I'd probably have been crying all night..

I cannot cannot wait for the new album with the new songs, since you all describe them as 'amazing'!

To those going tonight and tomorrow: have fun! Enjoy!

Thanks Manon

I love translating too

Congrats on your language skills

I can dl some vids with my phone (mediafire ) but not all others

Being a Mika fan, you kind of have to speak your languages, right?

Only I don't speak Italian, but Mika doesn't speak Dutch so I think we're even

By the way, I've tried and tried to get the lyrics from the part of Talk About You that he talks through the song.. I can't get the beginnings of the sentences. It starts with "Just living like this .... more than I know ... children(?) ... I wanna go"

Did anyone get the rest? Or did I make mistakes?

Thank you Manon I'm on holidays this week so all I have is my phone and 4G to be online

Have a nice holiday! I really like translating so I love doing it No problem at all Great practice as well, since French isn't my first language. Or even second.

Thanks a lot !!!

 

His impersonation of Sophie Marceau is so lovely !!

You're welcome! And I agree

I wasn't sure if you meant that video, because your link sent me to all of your videos and not to the one you meant, but the title did say that video.. It confused me. Anyway, thanks so much for always uploading the videos! I always watch the "pas vu à télé" parts that aren't shown in the regular show from your channel

Could anyone translate ?

The video you titled "Sophie M"? Do you want to know what Mika says to Florent?

Mika: When I look at you.. I am under the impression that I am in a film/movie. You move me.

Florent Pagny: You transcend me. I need you.

Mika (in the direction of the audience): I need you.

Florent: You'll be my better half.

And then Zazie comments about how they're just jealous.

Thank you thank you thank you!! I haven't gotten around to watching the whole show but I've just watched this part and I'm so excited!!! Thanks for subtitling! Also, if the part of Good Guys that you can hear is the studio version, I'm really looking forward to it because it sounded good!

(sorry for the many exclamation marks but I'm excited)
