melman92 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 T4P! I didn't even know SFR had a mag! And I don't see the connection between Mika and SFR but I guess he's invading every possible magazine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droopsy Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 First bit: Outstanding pianist and an extraordinary vocal ability, a sense of festive and colorful performances ... mika is back with a new album TBWKTM. Ready for another flood of pop? Is TBWKTM very acoustic like the EP songs for sorrow? No, it’s even more poppy than the first one! I wanted to write la bande-son of my adolescence, the album gave me the impression I was 16 years old again. This has helped me to compose songs that fit the themes that I wanted to address. Even more so, from 65 written pieces I’ve only kept 12! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickadee Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 65 written pieces?! :shocked: That's what I said when I heard it in one of the interviews and whilst I'm still genuinely surprised (and saddened cos most of that we'll probably never hear:no:), it did occur to me that some of those songs he already had the bones for. For instance Loverboy has been renovated, but the song already did exist. He didn't have to start from scratch. And I See You is quite different in some respects from I'm Falling, but the concept was already there to begin with. Although I'm not trying to suggest that Mika didn't write a whole bunch of new songs:mf_rosetinted: Mika... please, one day, could we hear your back catalogue? Don't care how produced they are. Demo's is fine. Just want to hear the essence of the songs. Lyrics and tune. Thankyou:biggrin2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droopsy Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Okay everything but the second, I can't translate it, nothing new tho ------------------------- Do you stay faithful to your trademark: talking about heavy subjects to pop music? More than ever! In my songs, the lyrics are realistic, sad or happy but the music always has to be happy. I think it’s the perfect combination for a pop song. ---------- I loved this part, don't know why ---------- Are you addicted to new ways of communication? I use youtube a lot on my phone. The potential of video and tv on mobiles is huge and it’s a very important way for an artist to broadcast. I had the chance that my fans are very creative and are involved in my music and my universe. Our reports are very interactive: I use myspace and twitter to communicate. I keep in mind that I have the internet to thank for a huge part of my success. What’s your wildest dream? Creating a huge spectacle last minute on flashmob on the champs-elysees and invite as many as possible to this immense improvised parade!

Droopsy Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Oh, I found out what flashmob is, thanks wikipedia A flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. The term is generally not applied to events organized by public relations firms or as publicity stunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Mika organized Flashmob on the Champs -Elysees would be Magnificent & so much fun! Could you imagine how many people would turn out in France???? :thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
