Fmbm Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Why wasn't he more creative choosing another title for the album ?I don't want it to be also called We are golden Nope. That's what it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessa Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Nope. That's what it's called. I know but I wanted something else ! Like for example :Life in golden strawberries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It's not like he is even asking our opinion on the name We are Golden with a view to changing it....oh if only he was.... As an album name, it is a bit..."meh" ( to coin a Mana-ism....oh that made me laugh, I said it like "mannerism" as I typed it:roftl:) Maybe some of us are just disappointed that it is also the single, which we already knew about, so the name has been floating round as a title of a song for ages, and all the hype of the "as yet untitled" second album led us to believe that the name would be something different and ...special. I suppose it will take on special status once we hear it, buy it, touch it and fall in love with We Are Golden (WAG???) just like we did LiCM. Edit: I did like Life in Golden Strawberries HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I did like Life in Golden Strawberries HAHA Woo-hoo! I have "isms"! In my humble opinion, it's more than a "meh" idea. I'd even go so far as to use the horribly scathing term...sucktastic idea! Imagine this. Interviewer: And today, we have special guest Mika on the show! So Mika, tell us about your single. Mika: Well, it's called We Are Golden.... Interviewer: Right, and it's from your new album? Mika: Yes, which is *also* called We Are Golden. Interviewer: Ah, yes. Okay, so when you were first writing We Are Golden... Mika: Wait, you mean the single? Or the album? Also, I think the problem for me personally is that when artists name an album after a song, it puts that song in a particular spotlight and in some ways, takes the spotlight away from the rest of the tracks. I mean, when someone says "Life in Cartoon Motion" we immediately think of those specific songs that make up that album. The album name is a package in which all songs fit equally. Imagine if he'd called LICM "Grace Kelly". Now, when someone says "We Are Golden", in reference to the album, I'm going to initially think of that particular song, rather than the album as a whole. Instead of being a package in which all songs fit, the name We Are Golden is, well, biased toward that one track. IMHO, of course. I'd have preferred Life in Golden Strawberries, too. I think all of this excitement has made me lose my apetite. (Just like when Mika played in LA) Can someone fix me? There's only one man who can save you now... SUPER MIKA!! (Where's wonka?

I was disappointed to learn that it's the name of the album too I really like the idea of LICM summarising the entire album.. I'm hoping Mika has something up his sleeves.. and that We are Golden is not just a song, but a concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ok, maybe he was just taking a leaf out of MJ's book a la Thriller and BAD, which were album names and singles. Good enough for MJ, good enough for MP. Then the single by the same name is called the "title track". *yawn* Edit after reading nikjass' post ....maybe those MJ albums were concepts too. Maybe We are Golden is a total concept/theme/package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of being a package in which all songs fit, the name We Are Golden is, well, biased toward that one track. IMHO, of course. That was my first thought too. LICM was such a brilliant name, and I guess we were expecting something similar for the second album too. But, as someone said, it can be a concept. And I'm sure he has thought about it carefully THANKS FOR POSTING! I'm really, really excited Me too!

Soaring Simpson Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) I like the album title- it brings all sorts of wonderful images into my mind- even reminds me of my own adolescece. I don't mind it being the same as the single. I can even cope when the band name is the same as both- I only groan when the phrase is also the first line of the lyric! But i think we're going to be seeing a lot of that golden jacket- and I'm not keen. And I do keep singing Woodstock (Oldlings will understand, though few of us will actually remember it from 1967) Love the cover!

WHY??!! :tears: It is a completely standard practice to name the album after one of the key tracks. Have you thought it is a concept, for example?? (I mean the concept of playing with colours, being colourful) Also, the single might be so strong it easily helps sell the album to a new audience as well.

MiKaL00v3 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yep. :boing::boing: I CAN'T WAIT !!! And I think it's fine that he called it the same as the single. It's a great name, it's so powerful !!

B!anka Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hey, guys...I have found the same article on a Romanian radio's website with a really nice picture...
