MIKA

THE BOY WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (Casablanca/Universal)

 

Release Date: September 21

The Skinny: Though he sometimes seemed in danger of amusing himself to death on 2007's Life in Cartoon Motion (which sold five million copies worldwide), Mika Penniman's Technicolor cabaret pop earns its glee-club frolicking on this more fully realized follow-up. First single "We Are Golden" is a celebratory romp, but the undeniable, bleacher-stomping choruses don't stop there. Then the I-wish-I-was-Elton-John-so-bad-I'm-gonna-pee-my-hot-pants ballads finish you off.

Fast Fact: "We Are Golden" features the Andrae Crouch Gospel Choir, who refused to sing the line "Don't give it up when you're young and you want some."
