lollipop_monkey Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 My guess is that he came up with a load of weird and wonderful possible titles but Universal put their (its?) foot down this time . That's my guess, too. I just can't see Mika sitting in a meeting with the label or whatever and going "I know! Let's name the album after the single! Oh boy, oh boy, I'm soooo creative!" It really must have been a last minute naming decision, otherwise they would have said something earlier. And I wonder if it was, indeed, last minute because Mika kept digging in his heels about the name and finally relented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokwicket Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The photo's gone from the home page of me wearing mine but here's Mika in his. Nice bracelet. - the hearts one! (Where are these pics from?) He is wearing two that I gave him on these pics, the star one and the one next to it, the green and orange one. The pics are screen shots from the PDP dvd.

RAK1 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I think We Are Golden is a crappy album name. It just seems, well, lazy. Especially after all of these media reports referring to the "as yet untitled album." What's up with that? If they were just going to take the easy way out and name it after the lead single, why couldn't they have figured that out 8-12 weeks ago? Why make the album name a closely guarded secret? Also, the first thing I thought of was an old interview. I can't even remember if it was print or video, but Mika was saying how his record label wanted him to call his first album "Love Today" or something like that. And he went on about how that wouldn't work for him, and how he came up with Life in Cartoon Motion instead. Too much cheese, nakedness and gerbil stroking has dulled his album-naming creativity. You forgot the tree hugging:roftl: I think we should wait til we hear the lyrics of the song, before we judge the album title. They could be pivotal to the whole theme of the album, hence why he may have decided to use it as the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embracechaos Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Always exciting to wake up in Tokyo and see so many threads with so much NEWS!!! Bit sad the album is called the same as the single, kinda boring.... Didn't he look at our thread with so many excellent and creative suggestions:boxed: On twitter Mika tweeted "mikasoundsthe We Are Golden cover on my blog is for the SINGLE not the album, sorry for the confusion" so the album title is still unknown:dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 You forgot the tree hugging:roftl: I think we should wait til we hear the lyrics of the song, before we judge the album title. They could be pivotal to the whole theme of the album, hence why he may have decided to use it as the title. I think that could well be the case. In fact I'm sure of it, as sure as I can be without actually having heard the song anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned before, I think he may have been trying to come up with something really good, but they probably gave him an ultimatum, so he just chose that.

embracechaos Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The album title is definitely We Are Golden...the same title as the single.

He's so going to regret this when he's doing interviews and he has to say "We Are Golden -- the song, not the album -- is about blahbalh" Sucker.

Fmbm Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Good point...I really dislike it that they have the same title, but meh, what can we do about it? At least he didn't choose "I See You" as the album title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Maybe having the same title is a marketing ploy. Constant repetition leads to familiarity. True, but in this case he stands to confuse the media, not to mention his fan base. As Nono wisely said: I know! He's so going to regret this when he's doing interviews and he has to say "We Are Golden -- the song, not the album -- is about blahbalh" Sucker. My thoughts exactly.

It'd put me off a bit It makes me cringe that it's actually one of the song titles, but hopefully the actual song will make me learn to love it ------ He should've at least named the album "You Are Golden"...you know, mix it up a bit.
