Guest Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Very nice article! Text: Edit; Translation: I've finished my translation (typo's included):Hasselt - Hold yourselves for a new offensive of Mika, the singer who became famous in 2007 and suddenly was a superstar. An EP, an album in september and a sitting concert in Brussels on june 4th are the main points of the campagne that the curly head proposed himself in Brussels yesterday. Even his own record company Universal was shocked by the plans of the Libenese-French-British vedette. The past weeks the 25-year old travelled througout Europe to personally make journalists hear his new album and inviting them for dinner. Credit Crunch Yesterday it was Brussels' turn. In the expensive ICP studio the star played his album- title unknown, release "somewhere in september"-. "My first album was the soundtrack of my childhood. From there I moved on to the sound of my teenage years, as if I'm filling in the movie within my head" says Mika about an album that, after listening of ten tracks, the predecessor at least equals qua versatility and hit potential. Clearly the credit crunch doesn't affect Mika that much. The numbers -5 million sold copies of Mika's debut album 'Life in Cartoon Motion', of which 160.000 in Belgium alone- provoke (?) the imagination. The acoustic concert that Mika gives on the 4th of july in the AB is clearly a teaser: he easily sells out stadiums. Though yesterday there was more than only announcing the new album. From tomorrow on there are new numbers up for downloading at Mika's website, that end up altoghether on an EP ('Songs for Sorrow' recorded with Owen Pallet from Arcade Fire Note from translator: that's rubbish, he's from final fantasy). The EP is a warming up for the cd that's due for release this september. You can buy the EP from Mika's site and from the 25th of may in the stores from fashion king Paul Smith, who is a regular supplier for Mika's wardrobe. "Songs for Sorrow" is going to be an art book, in which the four songs are given to several artist and designers as a source of inspiration. One of them is Walter Van Beirendonck.
