I Want to talk about the Album artwork. 

When there's a Mika Album coming, I Always really looking forward to see the Artwork. I Love that there's always an artistic side in his work, And like the music he really puts effort into that art.  At first I Thought that I'm not sure what I'm thinking about the art cover. But it grows on me. A line from TL really can sums up this artwork, you know? "Crazy colors in the grey". I Have my own interpretation of the cover: The Black & White photography: Michael Holbrook (Well it's written on his face, silly me); The colorful collage - MIKA. And it's has a lot to do with the lyrics of TL, as I'm thinking the Colorful collage represents the way "Mika" has taken over "Michael Holbrook". It's like a Mask. "Michael Holbrook" is in B&W again, With this writing on his face, it's like the a more "honest" (or... Boring? less attractive? less Interesting? just an ordinary man... not that i'm thinking that but i'm suggesting what it can stands for).

Also - In NPIH, There's Mika on the cover in B&W and in the background a colorful landscape. in TOOL - Mika (again!) B&W and the "Crown" in kind of gold color. In TBWKTM, there's again a colorful Image, Mika is somewhere there... In B&W. A repetitive motif? 

Edit: It's a portrait of both Mika & Michael. Julian Broad wrote on his IG account: "Multispectral Mika".

When did Mika said there will be live album? 

As for Tomorrow, I Agree... It's a bit mainstream in the production like the rest of the new songs. 

1. Tiny love (what can top that?) 

2.  Ice cream

3. Dear Jealousy 

4. Sanremo 

haven't really listened to the rest

It seems so sweet... It reminds me "Ordinary Man". I will have to listen it on the album for be sure to tell how I like it. (But I like it, this little bit is really sweet) 

 

I told myself "No, I'll not listen to the new songs before the album. I want it to be a surprise" 

 

I'm weak. 😶

 

WOW, Same here... I'm weak too, at first I Was like - I'm waiting for the album!....

but, no. really hard not to listen... 😥 

I Really like the end of the song, the part with the gospel backing vocals. it's so powerful that way! Wish it was more in the song!

And I Like the song, of course. Tiny Love still my favorite 😜

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM!

What does he singing?! too fast!  need lyrics.

Do you guys think there will be a deluxe or special edition of this album? Looking at his other albums he always has more than one version with more tracks.

I Was Just going to ask the same. I Want a deluxe version  

I Want to buy physical copy... 

I Don't know what about you guys, but today I Woke up and had to get to work, so on my way I was listening to "Sanremo".  At first, I Wasn't sure what do I Think of it, but then after a few listens it grew on me. For me it has a bit of disco feeling, Like kind of Michael Jackson songs? from the "Off The Wall" Album. I Like it!! Mika Voice is just so nice to listen to! Like the 80's vibe

Oh, it's has a bit of Be Gess feeling as well!

I feel like I already saw this goose somewhere ,but can't remember where …..

 

 

Realy ?

I love it ! 

The tiger is a mystery as I'd rather see a lion ,but we'll probably get an explanation 

Found it on the Australia Itunes shop! 

Yes, the tiger is a mystery. i'm counting the hours to midnight to hear tiny love (3 hours left! so much time!)

The artwork of the new album!

p.s. sorry if it's s a bit out of topic! 

To those who was lucky enough to watch the video before it was taken down, How long it is? (Video / track)? 

Do you think "Tiny Love" will be available on Spotify and so on on friday, midnight? It was the case with "Ice Cream" (In my Spotify, at least)

A Question: 1:37-1:39 / 1:43-1:47  - In those scenes, there is any reference to some other video clips or movies? (Not the  Kylie Minogue one)

Great Video! The Outfit is great, and in some parts of the videoclip, I Have flashbacks to other video-clips, BIOTG, (2:15)! I Like the cinematography, the video has "old" vibes which i Like and it's very funny at some times... Hope to hear new songs from the new album soon! i'm excited!

I Really like this live performance of Ice Cream. His voice is free and it seems like he has a lot of fun singing it

115 355 streams on Spotify yesterday (the number is updated just once a day so it doesn't count any streams from today yet).

 

A Lot of those streams are actually by me, playing the song in repeat. 

on the shop, there's only a regular CD of the new album. I Wonder if there's gonna be a deluxe version...

Got an email about the single + album pre-order. There isn't any pre-order option there...

Today Mika announces his new album and releases the brand new single Ice Cream!  Speaking about it Mika said:  "I'm excited to announce that my brand new album ‘My Name is Michael Holbrook’ will be released on October 4th!! You can pre-order it now to receive my new single 'Ice Cream' straight away as well as access to pre-sale tickets for my tour! Ice Cream was written on a day of extreme heat in August. It was the last few weeks of writing for the album; a writing period that lasted two years. Through the writing I had confronted personal, serious and at times painful issues. By the end of it I felt lighter and freer. This was one of the last songs written for the new album. The song is a daydream fantasy. Like a heat mirage, and makes me feel like anything is possible. Summer and heat provokes that. The surreal dreamlike state of endless heat soaked afternoons. Pearls of sweat, dreams of summer flings, the smell and feel of a car in summer when you first step into it, the smell of a plastic parasol baking in the sun. The mix of possibility and lazy frustration. Senses and daydreams on the run. Ice Cream is available everywhere now!"

I also find that the version is different.
But I love.  😍
The voice is sweeter than usual.  
I really like. 

 

Tonight, I'm happy to pay a subscription to Deezer, I have Ice Cream !!  

Something about his voice makes me think about the song "Ta-Dah".

I Like it, it's fresh and new! 

Seems to me like the studio version and the live one has a different vibe. Or is it just me? the live one felt bit more energetic, much upbeat. BUT I Like the studio version!
