In this one he says that he will release one or two singles in the next few months, I don't know if it was mentioned in the other interviews?

 

Really? Bit soon isn't it, considering the album isn't out until next year? Then again, if the singles come out early then there will be no other way of actually getting the singles apart from buying them (i.e. getting the album with all the singles on it, then the singles coming out and no-one buying them because they've already got/heard it) so hopefully the singles sales will boost and hopefully Mika will get somewhere decent in the charts lol

interesting.... he says the album will be out at the beginning of the 2012, but to expect to hear singles before that... within the next few months.

 

I wonder if "my next few months" means the same thing as "Mika's next few months" :naughty:

Uh! It's an interesting thing! Thanks!!

Next few months could be September or October, like he did with We Are Golden if I'm not mistaken. So, i think that for the moment he is doing as he did with the second album :dunno:

 

 

Did he say other new things that have not already been said?

not really. he says he finds it funny that it's Napoleon's castle & that his theme is Marie-Antoinette. He talks about his band being dressed in that era, like they belong to Marie-Antoinette's court.

 

big wigs anyone? :naughty:

I think it would be a bit soon too (although I can't wait to listen to his new music), but firstly we don't really know what he means by 'the next few months' (which he said in broken French :teehee:), I wouldn't be surprised if it meant November or December!

And secondly he used the words 'probably' and 'maybe' when talking about the singles. It seems quite vague at the moment but he does say he hopes there will be some singles released quite soon.

:wink2: (we already know the half of this interview thank to the older video !)

 

Guy : Hello Mika !

 

Mika : Hello !

 

G : Thank you very much to accept our invitation. You're back, after a year whitout seeing you in Europe, with a third album in process, we'll talk about it. So there is a tour, some shows, notably in Compiègne. Why do you choose Compiègne ?

 

M : It's the only show that I will be in France.

 

G : We could wait for you in Paris.

 

M : Sorry ?

 

G : (speaking up) We could wait for you in Paris.

 

M : Oh yes, but in Compiègne, the place looks beautiful, and it's only at 40min from Paris, so it's almost Paris. It's very easy to go there. It's just in front of the Palais Impérial, it's an amazing place. I want to do something in the open air, something quite "summerish". It's really the only show that I will be in France this summer, before the third album. I'm in studio since 5 month, it's good to go out and do some shows.

 

G : To say "do something else and be on stage again" ?

 

M : Yeah. It gives to me a different king of energy. I think it's important to test news things. For example, I will test some news' album songs. At the same time I wrote the album, I started to write song in french. It's not french versions of the english one, these songs only exist in french. I will sing one or two of these songs for the fisrt time at Compiegne. It will be the first time that I sing my own french song.

 

G : Speaking of that, the french audience often ask if you will sing in french...

 

M : Yes, everybody was asking me ! A lot of people asking me. I sang covers before...

 

G : Grace Kelly, for example ?

 

M : Yes, Grace Kelly too. I often did Barbara's covers, even when the people didn't want to hear that ! I was siging "La Solitude" in the Eurockéennes ! (laugh). But here, it will be my songs.

 

G : How many songs will be in french in this album ?

 

M : Heu... No, it's doesn't a part of it, it's more like a bonus, a surprise for my fans in France. It's 4 or 5 songs, 4 songs just in French, but it's aside. It's an album in English, 12 songs in English, with that along.

 

G : So let's talk about this third album. In the last two albums, you talk about childhood, teenage years. So now, in which universe will you take us ?

 

M : It's totally different, and I say that totaly sincerely. It's very different, like a new beggining. It's a little weird to talk about the third album because I'm still doing it. It will be finish this year to be out at the begging of next year. But you can probably hear new songs few months before. You will hear singles in the next months. It's sound like a mix of Fleetwood Mac, Empire of the Sun, and Tron, the sample of "Tron" made by Daft Punk. So it's a little more electronic, but with organic elements. I don't know... it's very cheerful, very sincere and more adult, with the themes, what I'm talking about. There isn't childish or adolescent feelings. It's a sound very honest, and very liberated.

 

G : Where did you record this album ? You still working on it.

 

M : I was working... So, last year, I was on tour until november because the second record tour lasted one year and half. We also have a lot of difficulties in my family, because my sister had a serious accident in last october. It was like if my family's life, expect for the shows i did, was on break.

 

I started to work on february, in Montreal, with Empire of the Sun, an australian group which was in Montreal to work on "Le Cirque du Soleil" show. I went there without know what to do, I was saying to myself "what am i doing here ? I don't even know what I want to do".

 

G : Do you need to immerse yourself again in the work ?

 

M : I immersed myself in a complet different environnement, I never recorded in Montreal before. Then, I didn't go home during three month and half. I left Montreal for Miami, Los Angeles, Miami again, Montreal again, I was touring, i was touring, and I went back with the half of my album. It was like a kind of... I don't know... it's really help me. It refresh me in every way. It's important, it was like if everything happen last year was a break, and a new begening.

 

G : Precisely, it's true that the tragedy, which touched your family and your sister in particular, touched a lot your fan, you sent to them a few messages...

 

M : No, no, it's not true, they didn't sent "a few" messages. She was in a Hospital in London, called the Royal London hospital. She received a hundred of messages, it was incredible, the hospital was complety shocked. The most of these were french. It was letters, flowers, carebears, she started to collect the carebears. Do you say that ? Carebears ? Teddybears ? They collected it and gave to children in the hospital because we had too much. It was incredible. She was totally shocked and very touched to see that.

 

G : So, how is she ?

 

M : She really fine, she is very strong, she is inspiring, it's inspiring me, but at the same time, it's scared me, because I never see a women... She will be thirty the next week... In fact she will be thirty just before the Compiègne's show. And she's fighting, she's complety convinced that she will walk again. She's already showing at everybody, the specialists and all the doctors, that she's doing a few step. It's incredible, really incredible, I never see someone fighting this way. She doesn't care about what people say, she will be sucessful. Everything we do in our lives is quiete commonplace comparative with that.

 

G : Ok ! Thank you very much ! We meet you again in July in Compiègne, and so in the beggining in 2012 for your third record ?

 

M : The album in the beggining of 2012 yes, and the singles before I hope, but we'll see. I am a little scared because they just tell me that le Palais (Impérial) is really the Napoleon's palais, and we are doing a theme for this show, because it's a new show, visually too. It's a little... a little Louvre, and my singer, my musicians, are dressed like if they were in Marie-Antoinette's court.

 

G : So it's Marie-Antoinette for the dresses ?

 

M : (Laugh) There will be a huge guillotine !

 

G : You mix Marie-Antoinette and Napoleon ?

 

M : Napoleon + Marie-Antoine ! Right, we'll see ! Rendez-vous the 9 July, in Compiègne !

 

G : Thank you very much Mika, and see you very soon in Compiègne and for the new album !
