MIKA: LOVECHILD OF MERCURY AND BOLAN

 

Recommendation from Popbitch:

This Autumn, Island records unveil the artist who should be the breakout superstar of the next few years - Mika. Exotic and beautiful, Mika was born in Beirut but moved with his family to Paris and then London at the height of the war. His father was even taken hostage at the American embassy in Kuwait.

 

His sound is like nothing else on the market - Beck meets Bolan meets Queen meets Scissor Sisters. Mika's at his most Mercury-esque on summer-anthem-in-waiting "Grace Kelly". One of those songs that can put a smile on your face no matter what misery you're feeling inside.

Next Big Thing: Mika!

Published by Matthias July 14th, 2006 in The Next Big Thing.

 

The triumphant return of Freddie Mercury! Alright so the Darkness were a fun distraction for all of six days, but this Mika lad ain’t no parody, he is the real thing. This guy sounds like Rufus Wainwright would if he was less pansy, more Scissor Sister, and multiplied by Beck.

 

Listen to tracks Grace Kelly, Billy Brown & Relax Take It Easy:

Mika on Myspace

Grace Kelly is certainly the stand-out track: it’s impossible to be unhapy with a soaring piano ballad like this booming in the background (or in a poncho, either wll do). Also worth checking out his official site: cute design but unfortunately no downloads on it yet.

Mika

FREDDIE MERCURY'S SPAWN: MIKA... George Michael. Robbie Williams. Elton John. Scissor Sisters. Up-and-coming pop sensation Mika channels those four contemporary artists, among many others. And that's only the start of Mika's promise. He name checks an even stronger influence on his flamboyant single ''Grace Kelly.'' No, not the late Princess of Monaco, or more to the point, not only the late Princess of Monaco. We mean another forebear with a certain flair for the dramatic: Freddie Mercury, Prince (and Princess) of Queen.Like Mercury before him, Mika is a singing-songwriting pianist who favors elaborate pop-rock melodies over which he sings in a four-octave range, including a fantastic falsetto. Mika's a London-based artist with a multicultural background -- born in Lebanon, reared in Paris and London. The British press has been raving about Mika all summer long: ''The breakout superstar of the next few years,'' writes Popbitch. ''Pop's new savior,'' sayeth i-D. But Universal Records won't release the gay 23-year-old's debut album Life in Cartoon Motion until next March. And it's obvious the promotional push is only just getting started. There's currently no entry about him at AllMusic.com, the recording industry's encyclopedia -- or for that matter, on Wikipedia. And a search at iTunes only turns up a new podcast, on which Mika introduces himself and his forthcoming album. Mika does have a MySpace page, of course -- http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace -- and from there you can stream several soon-to-be hits, including the glorious single ''Relax (Take It Easy).''

 

''Relax'' is a Scissor Sisters-styled dance anthem that also echoes, in its chanted chorus, the Frankie Goes to Hollywood classic. Mika's gem is sweeter though, and also sorrowful. Tony Moran and Warren Rigg have remixed the song in high-drama tribal fashion that you'll be easily dancing to in clubland soon. Meanwhile, celebrated music video-maker Sophie Muller, (Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Coldplay) has just turned in what Mika calls a ''little bit psychotic'' video for ''Grace Kelly.''

 

Like the above-named influences, it's not clear Mika will find wide success in today's America, even with the coming full-bore major-label push. But he'll no doubt win over the gay market and its affiliated offshoots -- and not a moment too soon....

2007's next big things

The pop star: Mika

 

Mika is that rare thing - a singer-songwriter with charisma and talent. Add to that a penchant for grandiose Technicolor pop and you have a proper star-in-waiting. The son of a Lebanese father and an American mother, Mika was born in Beirut in the mid-Eighties and grew up listening to everything from folk to flamenco. A series of traumatic childhood experiences, including the kidnapping of his father at the American embassy in Kuwait in 1993, did nothing to dampen his enthusiasm for singing and performing. When he was nine the family relocated to Paris and then to London where, under the tutelage of a Russian voice coach, Mika began to hone his craft. At 11, he made his stage debut in Richard Strauss's Die Frau ohne Schatten. This was followed by a stint at the Royal College of Music, though he dropped out deciding he was better suited to pop.

 

There was a false start with a record company who wanted to turn Mika into the next Craig David. Undeterred, he pursued his signature sound - a glorious collision of shiny pop and pomp rock. His début album, Life in Cartoon Motion, released next February and containing the single "Grace Kelly", is a masterpiece in pop melodrama. One part Rufus Wainwright to two parts Queen, the album finds Mika extolling the virtues of generously proportioned women ("Big Girl") and simply celebrating being alive ("Love Today"). With a recent appearance on Later With Jools Holland, a Radio 1 Record of the Week and a gushing endorsement on Popbitch, Mika's time has clearly come. Bright lights and degeneracy beckon.

Friday Cheesiness

14/lug/06

It's not often that I take musical direction from Popbitch, but the Lebanese/French Mika really is something else.

 

 

Mika

His music is like a bizarre collision of Queen, Beck, The Darkness, The Divine Comedy and several other things, and comes out on the "slightly less flamboyant" side of the Scissor Sisters.

 

It's overblown and cheesier than a French dairy, but somehow it all just works.

Island draws on Mika appeal.

Publication: Music Week

Publication Date: 09-DEC-06 Format: Online

 

Island is planning to capitalise on a series of bespoke animations in a push to promote Mika's profile

 

MIKA life in cartoon motion (island)

 

As Island Records creeps closer to the release of Mika's debut commercial single Grace Kelly on January 29, the record company is planning to an unleash series of bespoke animated films online to drive awareness about the artist.

 

The animations, which are being designed by Mika, will be launched via the Secret Society members area on his official website before being more widely distributed via user-generated content sites such as YouTube and MySpace. Marketing manager Tom March says the animated films are designed to be a fun exercise that adds value at the early stages of the launch campaign. New clips will be released to coincide with each commercial single.

 

"It's not everyday you get an artist that is as creative as this guy and for us it's about harnessing that as much as we can," says March.

 

Online has played a big part of the set-up for Mika who was signed to Island via Tommy Mottola's Casablanca imprint. The aforementioned Secret Society area of his website, which can be signed up to at no cost, offers fans exclusive content such as demos, acoustic versions of songs and digital content and, in addition, a monthly Podcast. "The digital element has been a key part of the launch strategy," says March. "We have used his MySpace and website to bring his artwork to life and get Mika's personality across."

 

March says, from day one, Island's aspirations for Mika have been high.

 

The ball on the campaign got rolling with a mention on the Popbitch newsletter earlier this year, resulting in more than 50,000 hits to Mika's MySpace page, and this was followed by the release of a limited- edition seven-inch single and download release of the track Relax.

 

On the live front, Mika has performed sessions for Radio One, Radio Two, Xfm, Capital and Jools Holland on BBC2, while he has appeared at Ibiza Rocks in Manumission, Bestival and Little Noise at the Union Chapel. An announcement is expected today (Monday) about a headline show at Koko to take place in February. "It's phenomenal considering we are yet to release our first full single," says March.

 

Mika's debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion, will be released on February 5.

From The Sunday Times

August 20, 2006

New kids in town: Mika

Dan Cairns

Who is he? The Beirut-born Mika, 22, looks like Tom Hulce in Amadeus crossed with the Russian wunderkind pianist Evgeny Kissin, and sings like Freddie Mercury. This may sound heartless, but reading that he was a Johnny-no-friends at school came as little surprise: insanely talented children (the Bruno in Fame type) often are. Putting that behind him — or dredging it for every last drop of bile — Mika is gearing up nicely for a long and loud last laugh. His debut double-A single, Relax, Take It Easy/Billy Brown, is so confident, so brimming with hysteria-tinged joie de vivre, it’s irresistible. The first song is all Scissor Sisters-inspired disco homage; the second all blowsy, Queeny burlesque. Also worth hearing is the stunning Grace Kelly, at http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace . A great find.

 

When’s the record out? September 18, on Casablanca.

 

Can I see him live? At Borderline, W1 (August 30).

here they're talking about Mika in 2006

http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=349&highlight=handlebar+moustache

 

"His demo was originally pitched across record companies in the UK, and was completely ignored by them," said Watt. "So he went to Miami to continue working on songs and when he was over there he met a management company, Fuerte."

 

They brokered a deal with Universal Records, and decided on a softly-softly approach to launching him. A mini EP, "Relax/Take it Easy", was released in August 2006.

He talks about his gig at Manumission in this interview (Milan, Alcatraz 2007) at 5.54 :D

 

and he also mentions it during his earlier gigs just before Billy Brown:

here's an example: at 4.00 min (Milan, Alcatraz 2007) :D

Mika - Dingwalls, London

(Monday November 27, 2006 5:41 PM )

 

Gig played on 21/11/06

 

From the second he bounds onstage in a whirlwind of flyaway curls, giddy falsetto, fabulously on-trend braces and the throbbing disco revivalism of "Relax, Take It Easy", it's clear there are countless professions that bouncing, beaming, Beirut-born Mika wasn't born for. Hod carrying. Forensic accountancy. The Stereophonics. On the other hand, becoming Planet Pop's next mega-tastic glitter-and-rainbow pin-up seems entirely achievable; in fact, inevitable.

 

The tales of school misfit-dom woven into his back-story only throw this evening's star turn into dazzling relief: tonight, he's a boy luminous with ambition and pizzazz. Blessed with '70s fashion-model good looks, a multi-octave range and the deadly charm of someone used to getting his own way, Mika resembles nothing so much as the lip-smackingly camp, silver-spooned star of a hedonistically pre-Aids, jet-set "Kids From Fame".

 

More importantly, the songs are undeniable hits-in-waiting. Each one has the crowd eating out of Mika's slender hand; all delivered with knowing panache by a groovily multi-hued band. The percolating, pouting Studio 54-ish "Love Today", with its retro-coy paeans to sex "any way you want to", is itchily moreish; current single "Billy Brown" splashes horns over the Harry Nilsson-esque tale of a man who leaves his "precautionary wife" for - as the entire crowd screams the pay-off - "a man!!!"

 

Only the archly chilly ballad "Over My Shoulder", heavy-handedly strewn with piano shards and imaginary fading roses, falls short of its Marc Almond-as-Judy Garland objective. A few months from now, in venues with more expensive lights and glitter balls, it'll doubtless be perfect. But otherwise, what's not to lust after? The overriding impression, as Mika leaps up and down, windmilling his arms like the sexiest children's entertainer in the world, is non-stop charisma. And, in a post-Scissor Sisters world, awesome potential.

 

Here's a boy whose gutsily cynical "Grace Kelly" summons up Freddie Mercury at his most sassy. A boy who, at his cockiest, leaves Jake Shears and company sounding a tad beige and hetero, and Robbie Williams a bit short on showmanship. Indeed, what pangs will Robbie feel as Mika's sharp hooks haul him up the charts: a booming "Stuck In The Middle", say, all sashaying swagger? Or - still ringing irresistibly in Yahoo! Music's ears days later - the hen-party shamelessness of a rollicking "Big Girls (You Are Beautiful)", with its eye-rolling homage to "curves in all the right places".

 

Like Mika, "Big Girls" is utterly contrived and breathlessly delicious. And tonight, the boy's mock-outraged claims not to recognise the silver-haired lady who jumps onstage to shake her booty just adds to the fun. If we were Mika's aunties - or, even, his forensic accountants - we'd be scrambling up there too.

i found this about the ibiza gig

 

You’ve done so many different types of gigs…the Royal Opera House, Bestival, sung jingles…

 

...milk commercials…

 

…what has been the most nerve-wracking so far?

 

Oh I get so nervous. Phew…you know there must be something…(long pause)…

 

I think it was probably Ibiza. Yeh! I had hardly any voice, this was a couple of months ago now, and it was my first ever pop gig with a full band, it was at five fifteen in the morning and it was at Manumission with the jungle crowd after the topless women being chased by the midgets and I went on…

 

We sang the first song and I was kind of excited and I jumped up, but as I landed I jammed one of the pedals so we were stuck. There’s all these people completely out of their heads in front of me and I really didn’t know what to do, so I just started singing folk songs and Proclaimers covers! (laughs)

 

But now it’s an in-joke with my band, if ever anything goes wrong we just start singing Proclaimers songs cause we don’t know what else to do!

 

But that was pretty hilarious! As soon as we started doing it the whole crowd started singing it back and the next song they were ballroom dancing to Billy Brown which is one of my songs! It was pretty terrifying but brilliant! Thank God!

 

it's from a very interesting interview mentioned in this thread
