Blue Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think it's something inevitable. So much music is made in the last decades, so many songs... It is so hard to write something that doesn't sound (at least a bit) like something we've heard before, with a totally different sound. And I don't care either.

Gatagordinha Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It certainly is inevitable, for all the reason you say, and I think it's about time everyone in the music industry admitted it, that there is no such thing any more as truly 'original' music, that everything sounds influenced nowadays. I mean, what about all the new indie bands? The Enemy = The Jam Editors= Joy Division. Kaiser Chiefs= Madness. Arcade Fire= Talking Heads. So it does annoy me somewhat when Mika is criticised by some as being 'derivative' - because everyone else is, too! I've been listening to music for 4 decades now (:wheelchair: ) and I can pretty much reference everything new I hear back to something else, so it's really no big deal if Mika sounds like 80s female singers is it he's no worse than anyone else! The trick is to put your own twist on things, which Mika does perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I must admit that I haven't listened to the lyrics very well yet (apart from the chorus). It's that catchy 80s sound that does it for me. I am such an 80s freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who mentioned Erasure? Ah happy memories dancing to Respect at my Uni disco...that's one of the greatest pop songs of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
